How to Use Click-to-Chat Links on WhatsApp and Other Social Messaging Apps
Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2025 9:27 am
In order to share your social media and chat apps with your contacts, readers, or customers, you may wish to make it easier for them to contact you, by launching the appropriate app on their phone, or their computer. This can be done using channel-specific deep links, or action links.
For example, you may either share your email address in this manner: email@domain.com, or use the following link format: mailto:email@domain.com. In the first example, users will need to copy and paste the email address, whereas in the second, clicking on the link opens their default email app and adds your email address in the “TO” section.
Other channels, such as WhatsApp, Twitter, SMS, Telegram, and others have their own link formats that perform a similar function. In this article, we’ll outline a few, and how to best use them.
WhatsApp
There are multiple link formats for WhatsApp that automatically open up WhatsApp for the user:
Simple ‘click to chat’ link
https://wa.me/number
Number is the full phone number in international format (including the country code).
For example, here’s a link you can use to talk to the Rasayel morocco whatsapp phone number team:
https://wa.me/353892515647
Link with phone number and pre-filled message
https://wa.me/number?text=messagetext
Number is the full phone number in international format, and messagetext is the pre-filled message that will appear when the link is clicked.
Facebook
The Facebook Messenger link format is as follows:
https://m.me/username
Username is the username of the person, page, or business on Facebook that will appear when the link is clicked.
Instagram
Instagram does not support ‘click to chat’ at the moment. The basic link format for Instagram is:
https://instagram.com/username
Username is the username of the person, page, or business on Instagram.
For example, you may either share your email address in this manner: email@domain.com, or use the following link format: mailto:email@domain.com. In the first example, users will need to copy and paste the email address, whereas in the second, clicking on the link opens their default email app and adds your email address in the “TO” section.
