Good morning everyone.
I have been observed Whatsapp application for businesses. As observed on marketing or business on facebook, the seller often showed their phone number for the customers to contact. We can assume that most customers are lazy to type the seller phone number.
I found out that Whatsapp allowed you to redirect and open your whatsapp and say any text you want.
Below shown an example of the text
+60123456789 = change to your phone number
Hello%20World = Change any text you want but, you must enter the text with %20 as a space. (URL encoding reference)
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=+60123456789&text=Hello%20World
But the link is long?
Here what you could have done.
Get your subdomain and redirect it to whatsapp.yourdomain.com , so just paste it to any advert on IG / FB or anywhere, so it will automatically redirect your customer.
If you don’t have any domain, you can get short link from google or any free short link services to do the job.
I have observed, that some website are giving this services to shorten your whatsapp api link, however they are doing data collecting I guess. Maybe I’ll cover it once I figure out how they setup up an automatic redirect the subdomain link to enter their phone to the api whatsapp.
Hope this helps everyone a little.
