A short link for Whatsapp is called a ‘wa.me’ link. A "wa.me" link typically refers to a link that directs users to a WhatsApp chat when clicked. This can be particularly useful for businesses or individuals who want to facilitate direct communication through WhatsApp without having to save a phone number first.
To create a wa.me link, you can follow these steps:
- Use the Format: The basic format for a wa.me link is:
https://wa.me/<number>
- Replace <number> with your full phone number in international format, omitting any plus signs, dashes, or other special characters. For example, if your number is +1 234-567-8901, you would write it as:
https://wa.me/12345678901
- Add a Pre-filled Message (Optional): If you want to include a message that the user will see when the chat opens, you can modify the link like so:
https://wa.me/<number>?text=<text>
- Replace <text> with your desired message, making sure to URL-encode it (replace spaces with %20, etc.). For example, to send a "Hello!" message:
https://wa.me/12345678901?text=Hello%20!
Once you've created your Wame link, you can share it via social media, email, or any other method. When clicked, it will open a chat with the specified phone number on WhatsApp.
That's it! You now have a Wame link that you can use.
