You can send a contact card using this feature, and the recipient can easily add it to their address book.

WhatsApp is rolling out a contact card on Windows beta. What will this feature do? Know everything here.
WhatsApp is quite a dynamic platform that keeps introducing new features to make this instant messaging app user-friendly. A few days back, WhatsApp added an entry point to create polls within the WhatsApp chats, which will be handy when you want to reach a consensus about a certain topic in a group chat.

What is a WhatsApp business card? Such a mailing allows you to be in the customer's phone book and establish long-term relationships.
When you need a business card
- Working with a cold base.
After talking with a potential buyer, you need to summarize and invite to chats. When you hang up, a business card with text will automatically come to the user's messenger. - Handling incoming calls. A client called you to find out about the services and get an initial consultation. After the dialogue, he will receive a message with an offer to ask questions about the company in this chat.
- If the conversation did not take place. If the client waited on the line for a long time and dropped the call, he may never return. In order not to lose the buyer, send him a business card and offer to call back when the operators are free.
What are the benefits of a business card
- The business card was developed on the basis of the messenger, which is used by every second citizen of Russia older than 12 years old. And this means that a large part of your audience is also on WhatsApp.
- A business card relieves some of the burden on operators: on the phone, an operator communicates with only one client at a time when an employee of the chat center processes up to four dialogs at the same time.
- Even if the customer did not pick up the phone, he will not be lost.
- Business card establishes contact with the client. To call again, the user does not have to search for your number on the Internet. Ready chat will already be in the phone.
- Loyalty increase. Google found that 65% of customers prefer to write to companies rather than call. Thanks to instant messengers, you offer your customers a convenient and familiar type of communication and build their trust.
How to connect a business card
WhatsApp business card is a specialized mailing list, so it only works with a WhatsApp Business API account. Such a connection will save the number from blocking. After connecting a business account, you need to follow three steps.
- Get ready. Determine in which cases you need a WhatsApp business card, write texts for each case. It is important to remember that the text of the business card should not be advertising, otherwise it will not pass the approval.
- Enable the HSM template function. These are standardized messages that you can send to clients first without fear of being blocked. You won’t be able to send templates right away - first they require approval from WhatsApp. The process takes 2-3 days, and Chat2Desk will help you get your templates approved.
- Enable the "Scripts" option. This is a Python code that will send a business card after a certain event. Chat2Desk developers will help write the script for WhatsApp business cards.
How to upgrade your business card
Use interactive buttons - a relatively new WhatsApp feature that will increase user response to your business card. Buttons are also included in the HSM template, so they cannot be sent separately or attached to a regular message.
Buttons are divided into two types:
- Auto-answers
If the client for some reason could not get through to you, he will receive a business card with the text:
“You just called us, but we did not pick up.
Can we call you back and resolve the issue?
Three buttons will be attached to the text: "Yes", "No", "My issue is resolved".
- Call-to-action
0076
“Thank you for calling our company. Let's keep chatting on whatsapp."
Below is a link to your site and a call button.
The cost of a WhatsApp business card
You cannot buy a business card by itself. It is made up of several independent elements. So, to implement a business card in WhatsApp, you will need:
The final cost includes not only the ability to send a business card to users. You will receive an independent tool for free and secure communication with customers. We talk about the benefits and features of the WhatsApp Business API in our blog.

How to add a WhatsApp contact
April 3, 2022 Likbez Technologies
Four proven ways for all occasions.
Like all instant messengers, WhatsApp asks for permission to access contacts and syncs them on first launch. Therefore, you do not need to add people separately if they are already in your phone book. It is enough to create a new chat, select a user from the list and start a dialogue.
To communicate, you need to add a contact in one of four ways: through a new chat or QR code in WhatsApp itself, in the built-in phone book, or through a forwarded business card from a chat with another person.
You can only delete an unwanted contact from the standard phone book by selecting Edit → Delete.
Unfortunately, this cannot be done via messenger.
1. How to add a contact to WhatsApp from the application
The easiest way. Using it, you will simultaneously create a new record in the built-in Contacts application and can immediately start chatting if the person is already registered in WhatsApp. Otherwise, the application will offer to send an invitation with a link to the messenger.
On iOS
In WhatsApp, on the Chats tab, tap the pencil icon and select New Contact.
Enter your name, phone number, and other details and click Save. Tap on the corresponding icon to start a conversation, video chat or call.
If the person is not yet on WhatsApp, then on the previous screen you will see the note “This number is not registered” and an offer to send an invitation. Click "Invite to WhatsApp" and send the person a link to the messenger by regular SMS.
On Android
Switch to the Chats tab, tap the create conversation icon and select New Contact.
Enter the first name, last name, phone number and other required information and confirm the creation of the contact. If the person is registered on WhatsApp, you can immediately call or write to him. Otherwise, you will be prompted to send a link to install the messenger.
2. How to add a WhatsApp contact via QR code
If you are near the right person, it is faster and more convenient to use the built-in QR codes with personal information to add.
On iOS
Ask the other person to open WhatsApp settings and tap on the QR code icon.
On your smartphone, in the "Chats" tab, tap the icon for creating a conversation and select "New Contact".
Tap Add with QR Code and point the camera at the other person's screen.
When the code is recognized, click Add Contact and Save.
Now you can write and call by clicking on the corresponding icon.
On Android
Ask a friend to open the WhatsApp settings and contact QR code by touching the corresponding icon.
On your smartphone, open the "Chats" tab, click the create button and then the QR code icon.
Scan the code from your friend's screen and tap "Add to Contacts".
Save the entry by clicking on the confirmation button and go to the chat for communication.
3. How to add a contact to WhatsApp through the phone book
In fact, this is the classic procedure for entering a new number in the "Contacts". The next time you start WhatsApp, it will pick up the data and the person will appear in the list of available chats.
On iOS
Open the "Contacts" application or the tab of the same name in the dialer. Tap on the plus, enter the person's name and phone number, and then tap Done.
Launch WhatsApp, on the Chats tab, start typing the contact's name. It should show up in the tooltip.
If the person is not yet registered with WhatsApp, then there will be a note “Invite” next to their name. By clicking on it, you can send SMS with a link to the messenger.
On Android
Go to the "Contacts" application or the corresponding tab in the dialer and click "Create Contact". Enter the name, number and all required information and confirm the addition.
Open WhatsApp and tap on the search icon. Start typing the person's name and use the prompt to open the chat.
4. How to add a contact to WhatsApp from a business card
This method is useful if you ask one of your contacts to share the number of another person. This will require a minimum of action from you. The interlocutor can send the contact as a business card file, and you just have to open it.
On iOS
Ask the other person to tap plus and select "Contact".
After selecting the right person, he must click "Send", and you will only have to tap "Save" in the chat to add.
On Android
Let your friend press the paperclip button in the chat, select "Contact", and then indicate the desired one.
Then he will have to confirm the sending, and you - click "Add" and save the new contact.
