Linking a button to your whatsApp

WhatsApp's "click to chat” feature allows you to create a link anywhere on your website that opens a new WhatsApp chat with a specified number. 
Click to chat works on both mobile phones and with WhatsApp Web. When visitors click the link, it opens a chat and includes a default message.
The instructions below explain how to link a button, but you can link from any element on your site, such as from a menu tab or image.

To link a button to your WhatsApp:

  1. Add a button to your page.
  2. Change the button text, for example, "Contact on WhatsApp".
  3. Click the Link icon .
  4. Click Web Address.
  5. Choose an option:
    • Create a link without a message: Create a link that opens a WhatsApp conversation, with no automated message the visitor can send. Enter the following address under What's the web address (URL)?: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=<number> 
      • Note: The <number> should be your full phone number in international format. Omit any zeros, brackets, or dashes when adding the phone number.
    • Create link with custom message: Create an automated message that visitors can send as WhatsApp opens. Enter the following address under What's the web address (URL)?: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=<number>To include a message, add &text=your message to the URL, like so: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=12125558471&text=Hi%20requesting%20a%20callback.%20Thanks. 
      • Notes:
        • The <number> should be your full phone number in international format. Omit any zeros, brackets, or dashes when adding the phone number.
        • To add a space in your custom message use '%20'. 
  6. Click Done.
Tip:
Click Change Text & Icon and upload the WhatsApp icon if you want it to appear on your button.
