03 / Website use cases
Where to use whatsapp message link
Shops and service businesses often answer customers on WhatsApp, but a click-to-chat link only works with the full international number written as digits, and a message has to be encoded by hand. WhatsApp message link takes the number as you would write it, adds a message where {title} and {url} name the current page, and builds a correct wa.me link. A share mode lets visitors send the page to any contact, and invalid numbers stay hidden on the live site.
Services and bookings
Start a booking chat with a ready-made message.
Content sites
Let readers share an article with friends on WhatsApp.

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot whatsapp message link
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is the link missing on the live site?
The number cannot be used. The editor shows why: use the full international number, or set the country code for local numbers.
Why does WhatsApp say the number is not on WhatsApp?
The number is valid but has no WhatsApp account. Check it in the WhatsApp app.
Why is the message missing in share mode?
Share mode needs a message; the editor shows a hint until you add one.
Can the message name the product?
Yes. Put {title} or {url} in the message and they are filled in on each page.
WhatsApp message link plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Does it need the WhatsApp Business app?
No. Links work with personal and business WhatsApp accounts.
Is the message sent automatically?
No. WhatsApp opens with the message ready, and the visitor chooses to send it.
Is it accessible?
Yes. It is a real link with visible text, and screen readers hear when it opens a new tab.
Does it need JavaScript?
No. The link is plain HTML.
