Good pre-filled message examples

Hi, I want to know more about your services.

Hi, I found your business online and would like a quotation.

Hi, I want to confirm availability for this product.

Keep the message short. The customer should be able to edit it before sending. Avoid putting private customer data or payment information into a public link.

Message writing tips

Keep the message short enough for the customer to edit

Do not include private customer data in a public link

Mention the context only when the link is used for a specific page

Test special characters and line breaks before publishing

Convert the link into a QR code for printed material

WhatsApp links are useful because the customer does not need to save your number first. For local businesses, this can reduce friction from an online profile, poster, visiting card or invoice. For payment reminders, combine a clear invoice reference with a polite message.

Can I use the same WhatsApp link everywhere?

You can, but separate links with different messages often work better for enquiries, invoices, reviews and support.

Can I make a QR code from a WhatsApp link?

Yes. Generate the WhatsApp link first, then create a QR code that opens the link.

Can I turn a WhatsApp link into a QR code?

Yes. Create the link first, then use a QR code generator to make it scannable.

Should I include a long message?

Usually no. Short messages are easier for customers to review and send.
