If you've created your WhatsApp link, you may be wishing to achieve more from linking to WhatsApp.
Now, do you know you can make your WhatsApp link to carry a default message...something like "Hi TobiDigital!" or something different.
Custom direct message to WhatsApp is a creative way to link up with prospects, especially if you are offering assorted services/products, special offer/promotion, referral/affiliate program or you are organizing an event.
Say, for instance, you are running a promo for one of your products or services on the pages of social media, website, or elsewhere. Having a link that specifies/or attach the particular offer to a message, could be a creative but encouraging way to make things more user-friendly.
Ok. I'm currently running a website design promo and after all my ranting online, I included a call-to-action link to my WhatsApp, from where prospects can reach out to me regards the very promo. It would make sense if I could have a link which upon click would read something like:
'Hi, TobiDigital. I'm interested in your web design promo'.
Test the link here https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=2348050872821&text=Hi+TobiDigital.+I'm+interested+in+your+web+design+promo
To create, a link as this is nothing technical, as you can use the following form to generate your own WhatsApp link to text.
Fill your input below, but follow the instruction in the form fields.
Please take note of the instruction written within the form fields. If you mistake an input, you may not get the correct string.
Alternatively, you can copy but edit the following link by changing the phone number to yours and the text/messages within. Do not forget to use the plus sign (+) instead of putting space.
Here's a link:
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=2348050872821&text=Hi+TobiDigital.+I'm+interested+in+your+web+design+promo
You can modify the link above to personalise something for yourself.
Replace the numbers written in blue with your own phone number. Please note that the phone number includes the country code required by WhatsApp URL/link to function.
Now also replace the text written in green with your chosen text, the + (plus) sign indicate space; meaning you can create any sentence using the plus sign as space in-between words. DO NOT PUT SPACE OR A GAP, just the plus sign (+) in the middle of every word.
Meanwhile, if you are still looking to generate simple URL/link to WhatsApp, you may follow this guide on how to, or an instant link generation machine
All the best!
Great Guys!
Good info Tobi.
How do I insert new paragraph like example below.
Name :
Size:
Unfortunately, you may only use space at the moment and not paragraph.
An alternative way to go about it is by creating as many spaces as possible within each text, say
Name:%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20Size:
Hope this helps
You are good. Thanks
Both bit.ly and goo.gl can’t shorten the link. How else can we shorten link generated with text?
Hi Sebastian
Fortunately, bit.ly will definitely shorten any link provided on its platform.
You may kindly try using the site again.
