Create the WhatsApp contact link first
Use the form above to create a link to the WhatsApp number you want visitors to contact. Include the country code and optionally add a short message written from the visitor’s perspective, such as Hi, I found you through your profile and would like more information.
- Enter your international WhatsApp number.
- Add the optional message and copy the generated link.
- Open the link on another phone to check the recipient and message.
The URL contains your number, so choose a contact you are comfortable publishing. A preset message remains editable and is not sent automatically. This form creates a direct contact link; it does not create a WhatsApp group invitation.
Add WhatsApp to Linktree
- In My Linktree, select Edit to open the Links tab.
- Select + Add and paste the complete WhatsApp URL you copied.
- Enter a button title that describes the action, such as Ask about availability on WhatsApp.
- Complete any link settings shown, then check your public Linktree.
- Tap the button from a phone and confirm that it opens the intended contact.
Linktree may change its interface; its official link setup guide documents the current steps. Use an ordinary URL link for a one-to-one contact. Linktree’s Community Channels feature is a separate route for group invitations.
What should the button say?
| Purpose | Button title | Optional visitor message |
|---|---|---|
| Appointments | Ask about an appointment on WhatsApp | Hi, I would like to ask about your next available appointment. |
| Product enquiries | Check availability on WhatsApp | Hi, I saw your profile and would like to check a product’s availability. |
| General contact | Message us on WhatsApp | Hi, I found your contact through your profile. |
Choose one clear action. The label helps the visitor understand where the button leads; the message gives the recipient some context. Neither one guarantees a response time, booking or sale.
Use the same contact on another bio page
Paste the generated URL into the destination field of a normal link or contact button. Keep the full https://wa.me/… URL intact. For an Instagram profile, follow the Instagram contact-link guide rather than assuming every profile editor has Linktree’s controls.
A clickable button suits visitors who are already using their phone. A QR is useful for a printed card or sign. The full WhatsApp generator offers PNG, SVG and an A4 sign with an editable heading.
If the Linktree button does not work
- Compare the saved destination with the full generated URL.
- Check the country code and that the number is registered with WhatsApp.
- Test the public Linktree, not only its editor preview.
- Try the contact link directly in the phone’s browser if a social app’s built-in browser causes trouble.
- If the message looks wrong, regenerate the encoded URL from the original text.
- If your number changes, update the published button and any static QR using the old link.
Clicks and conversations are different measurements
A click on a profile button does not confirm that a visitor sent a message. A preset phrase mentioning the profile can provide context when someone keeps it, but it is not a complete click counter. QRWave’s direct link does not add scan tracking. Keep any reporting from your profile service separate from actual enquiries.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need WhatsApp Business to add a Linktree contact button?
No. A direct WhatsApp number link works with a personal or Business account. Use the number that should receive the messages.
Can I link to a WhatsApp group instead?
Yes, using the group’s own invitation URL. The phone-number form on this page creates a one-to-one contact link, not a group invite.
Will the message be sent as soon as someone taps the button?
No. The message is a draft. The visitor can edit it and must send it themselves.
Can I reuse the link on my website?
Yes. Attach the complete URL to a normal contact button. Test it from the published page and update it if the contact number changes.
