Frequently asked questions
What does a WhatsApp link look like?
A WhatsApp link always begins with wa.me/ followed by your WhatsApp number. It may also contain a URL-encoded pre-filled message at the end.
What happens after my customers click on a WhatsApp link?
When clicked, a WhatsApp link opens a chat window in the WhatsApp app or on WhatsApp Web, where customers can chat directly with your business.
How much does it cost to generate a WhatsApp link?
Nothing — Aelyst's WhatsApp Link Generator is completely free to use.
How can I track where leads come from when they click a WhatsApp link?
WhatsApp links don't support UTM tracking. To track lead sources, create a unique reference for each channel and add it to the pre-filled message of each link. Note this only works if customers send the pre-filled message as-is.
Does a WhatsApp link work in my country?
WhatsApp links work in any country where WhatsApp is available — which includes virtually all of Southeast Asia and most of the world.
If I have a WhatsApp link, why would I need a WhatsApp QR code?
Links are great for turning online visitors into WhatsApp contacts, but they can't capture offline traffic. Print the QR code on packaging, storefronts or name cards to turn foot traffic into WhatsApp conversations too.
How can I manage leads generated from a WhatsApp link?
To manage WhatsApp leads effectively, you'll need a WhatsApp CRM with automation. With Aelyst, every contact who messages you via your link is captured automatically — and AI agents can qualify, follow up and even collect payment in the same inbox.
Can I send the first message proactively instead of waiting for customers to click my link?
Yes — with WhatsApp broadcast or template messages you can reach out first. Aelyst supports outbound broadcasts with personalization, pacing and reply handling built in.
