How to link to whatsapp now? Wa.me and api.whatsapp.com stopped working in Russia "title":"7 u044c \u0438\u0434\u0435\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u043e\u0444\u0438\u0441","buttonText":"\u041f\u043e\u043a\u0430\u0486\u042 ","imageUuid":"f6c199c9-f72d-52bc-a539-75fc9e2f6f21","isPaidAndBannersEnabled":false}
How to redirect audience to WhatsApp chat now? And what about companies and freelancers who used such links in their social media profiles? The answers are in this article.
93 437 views
It seems that the blocking of Facebook and Instagram has hooked the wa.me and api.whatsapp.com services. Companies and experts used these links in their social media profiles to redirect customers directly to the chat. Their convenience was that by clicking on the link, you immediately got into the messenger application installed on your phone.
For example, a link like https://wa.me/7
09090 could go to a chat with a WhatsApp user registered under the phone number +7 (900) 900-90-90.
There was no need to add a user to your address book to start a chat.
What to do now?
👉 Use WhatsApp link constructors
These constructors help you get a special link that redirects you to the desired WhatsApp chat. The majority of such services use the mentioned wa.me, which does not currently work in the Russian Federation.
That's why we created our own ✅ free WhatsApp link builder , which does not depend on wa.me and works based on the official WhatsApp protocol. It is available to everyone for free without registration and advertising.
If the person has the WhatsApp application installed, the service will offer to switch to it. If the application is not installed, the button will lead to the web version.
👉 Use deep links
Deep links are the same links, only they lead not to websites, but to applications. Regular links start with http or https. Deeplinks, on the other hand, start with an application protocol.
For example, a Telegram deep link looks like this tg://resolve?domain=... Instead of an ellipsis, the user's nickname. For WhatsApp, you can use the following deep link: whatsapp://send?phone=7
09090. The phone number must be indicated without + and extra characters, only numbers.
If you want the person to have a preset text in the message after going to your chat, the deep link will look like this: whatsapp://send?phone=7
09090&text=Hello. Instead of "Hello" - your message.
There is a nuance . If you send such a deep link to someone in a chat or decide to add it to a social network profile, it will not work. Therefore, it needs to be turned into a regular link. To do this, use any free link shortener. It is also worth considering that if a person does not have an application installed, then nothing will happen.
👉 Use multilinks
Read more about multilinks in this article. In short, these are mobile micro-sites with an avatar, description and buttons that can lead to other sites and applications, including WhatsApp and Telegram.
Depending on the services, the functionality may differ. For example, in Tilda you can assemble a full-fledged landing page, and in Taplink you can add a slideshow, a question-answer, and other widgets.
If you need the simplest functionality to quickly combine links to all instant messengers and social networks in one place, you can use Clickbar. An example of such a link can be found in my profile or see the page of Daria, a confectioner.
