Pre-filled messages that work
A pre-filled message makes it easier for the customer to start and tells you where they came from. Examples:
- "Hi, I want to book an appointment." (clinics, salons)
- "Hi, please send me the price list." (shops, wholesalers)
- "Hi, I saw your ad on Instagram and want to know more about…" (ads, so you know the source)
- "नमस्ते, मुझे आपकी सेवाओं के बारे में जानकारी चाहिए।" (Hindi-speaking customers)
Link format explained
The official format is https://wa.me/<number>?text=<message>. The number is the full international number without +, brackets, zeros or spaces, so an Indian number becomes91 followed by ten digits. The message is URL-encoded, which the tool does for you.
