WhatsApp Link: Create a wa.me Link for Free
Create a WhatsApp link complete with a ready-to-send message and a QR Code in seconds. Customers just tap it — no need to save your number first.
Ideal for printing on counter signs or flyers.
What is a WhatsApp link?
A WhatsApp link — often called a wa link or a wa.me link — is a URL that opens a WhatsApp conversation straight to a specific number. Customers only have to tap it; they never need to save your number to their contacts first, and they never have to retype a number they could easily get wrong.
Its basic form is https://wa.me/6281234567890. Add a pre-filled message and the customer's chat box is already filled in when it opens, so all they do is hit send. That is what makes a WhatsApp link far more effective than simply writing out your number in a bio or on a flyer.
How to create a WhatsApp link
Type in your business number. A leading 0 is automatically converted to 62 to match the international format WhatsApp requires.
Add the opening line that will appear in the customer's chat box — the name of the product they are interested in, for example. This part is optional.
Put the link in your Instagram bio, a marketplace listing, an ad, or a website button. The QR Code can be printed for counter signs, packaging or flyers.
Why use a WhatsApp link instead of writing out the number?
- No need to save the number. Customers land straight in the chat — one step instead of three.
- Fewer typos. Numbers copied by hand are often off by a digit, and those messages never arrive.
- Pre-filled messages save time. You know right away which product someone is asking about, without having to ask.
- It is trackable. Use a different message per channel and you will know whether a customer came from Instagram, your website or a flyer.
The most common cause is the number format. WhatsApp requires a country code with no plus sign, spaces or dashes — 6281234567890, not 081234567890 or +62 812-3456-7890. The tool above cleans that up for you. If it still fails, make sure the number really is registered on WhatsApp.
Need more than just a link?
A WhatsApp link is great for starting conversations. But as incoming messages pile up, one number on one phone starts to buckle: chats get missed, there is no record of who replied to what, and the workload cannot be shared across staff.
WhatsApp Business API solves that — one number used by many agents at once, automated replies, and compliant bulk messaging through official Meta templates. Resmi.ID is an official WhatsApp Business partner.

What is a WhatsApp link or wa.me link?
A WhatsApp link is a URL that opens a WhatsApp conversation straight to a specific number. Customers simply tap the link without having to save your number first. The format is https://wa.me/62xxx, and a pre-filled message can be added to it.

Can a WhatsApp link be used with WhatsApp Business?
Yes. A wa.me link works with regular WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, and numbers connected to the WhatsApp Business API.
Why isn't my WhatsApp link working?
The most common cause is the number format. The number must use a country code with no plus sign, spaces or dashes — 6281234567890, for example, not 081234567890. Also make sure the number really is registered on WhatsApp.
Can a WhatsApp link be created without saving the number?
Yes, that is exactly the point. Customers who tap the link go straight into the chat without having to save your number to their contacts.
