3 Ways to Create a direct link to WhatsApp Business and how to customize them

Create links to your WhatsApp Business

WhatsApp allows you to start a conversation through a link, these links have a specific structure and can even be customized to include predetermined messages. These links work to start a conversation from the APP of WhatsApp or from Web WhatsApp the version of Desktops.
You can put these links in your website: www.woztell.com we can share a link for example https://wa.me/16506145421

From Woztell, we want to share with you the 4 ways to create links that will help you exploit your WhatsApp Marketing strategy.

Direct link from WhatsApp Business

When you have a WhatsApp Business account you can automatically generate a link for your company. To access the direct link, it is very simple:
  1. Open your WhatsApp Business
  2. Go to WhatsApp Business> Settings> Company settings.
  3. Press Direct Link,
  4. You can copy it to use it on your website, here we leave you the sections that from Woztell we recommend you have a link to your WhatsApp Business.
  5. You can also send it directly to your customers, or potential buyers.

 

Universal Links: Wa.me

Without a doubt, building links with wa.me is the easiest way to share the link of your WhatsApp Business:

This link is the personalized link that WhatsApp has created to be the Universal link, to start a conversation through this application.
You must add the international code of your country, for example: 
https://wa.me/ <CodeCountry> <Number>

The <1> corresponds to the international code for EEUU, plus the own number of our Telephone where the WhatsApp Corporate Business is associated. <16506145421>
When using this method be sure to omit the parentheses or any symbols. It only accepts numbers.

API WhatsApp

A second option is to build a link with the WhatsApp API option, when we use the Universal Link, this link makes a call to a link that would be shown as follows in the address bar:

In the same way as in the universal link, after the link, you have to add the phone number associated with the WhatsApp Business Corporate.
Following this structure: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone= <CodeCountry> <Number>
The corresponding country code, plus the own number of our Telephone where the WhatsApp Corporate Business is associated. <16506145421>
When using this method be sure to omit the parentheses or any symbols. It only accepts numbers.

Links with personalized messages

Links to Default Messages open the mobile or desktop application with a previously written message, so that the user only has to click send.
To create your own link with a personalized message you can use the following message structure:
You have to add a text after your link with the WhatsApp API, separated with the% symbol to mark the spaces.
