Creating WhatsApp QR codes and short links

In this article, you'll learn about WhatsApp QR codes and short links.

WhatsApp QR

WhatsApp Business QR codes are an easy way for customers to discover and reach out to your business. Existing and new customers can send you messages by scanning your business account’s QR code.

WhatsApp Short Links

It enables you to share a short link with customers so they can start a chat with you directly.

If a customer opens the short link on a device that has WhatsApp installed on it, it automatically opens a secure chat between the two of you.

Protip: You can create a pre-populated message that customers can quickly edit and send once they open your short link.

Prefilled Message

Prefilled messages makes it easier for customers to reach out to your business with common questions or inquiries. These messages are fully customisable and can be updated or deleted at any time.
