FAQs
What is a WhatsApp link?
A WhatsApp link is a custom URL (formatted as wa.me/yournumber) that allows anyone to start a direct conversation with you on WhatsApp without needing to save your number to their contacts. You can include a pre-filled message to make the initial contact easier.
How do I create a WhatsApp link with a custom message?
Use the free ActiveCampaign generator on this page: enter your phone number (including the country code), type the message you want to appear when clicked, and click “Generate Link.” Your link will be ready to share in seconds.
Can I use a WhatsApp link on Instagram?
Yes. You can place your WhatsApp link in your Instagram bio, in your Stories (as a swipe-up link), or in your ads. It is one of the most popular ways to connect your social media audience directly to WhatsApp.
What is the difference between WhatsApp Business and the WhatsApp Business API?
WhatsApp Business is the free app for small businesses that allows you to manage messages from a single phone. The WhatsApp Business API is designed for businesses that need to automate messaging, have multiple agents responding from the same number, send mass campaigns, and connect WhatsApp to their CRM. ActiveCampaign uses the WhatsApp Business API to offer you advanced automation and features that are not available in the basic app.
Are WhatsApp links free?
Yes. ActiveCampaign’s WhatsApp link generator is completely free and requires no registration. You can create as many links as you need at no cost.
How can I track clicks on my WhatsApp link?
You can add UTM parameters to your WhatsApp link to track its performance in Google Analytics or other analytics tools. ActiveCampaign also allows you to fully track the conversations that originate from your links.
Can I create a QR code for my WhatsApp link?
Yes. Once you have generated your WhatsApp link, you can use any free QR code generator to convert it into a QR code. This code can be printed on business cards, brochures, or marketing materials.
Do I need to scan a QR code to connect my WhatsApp to ActiveCampaign?
No. ActiveCampaign uses the WhatsApp Business API to send and receive messages. This is a different service from standard WhatsApp. By using the API, it is no longer necessary to have a mobile phone permanently connected, as the connection is established directly with WhatsApp’s servers.
Is the WhatsApp API the same as WhatsApp Business?
No, they are different services. WhatsApp Business is the free application for small businesses that manage their messages from a mobile phone. The WhatsApp Business API is designed for businesses that need to send mass campaigns, automate messaging, and have entire teams responding from a single number. ActiveCampaign uses the WhatsApp Business API to offer advanced features such as interactive messages, mass campaigns, workflow automation, and more.
