When running a blog or online store on Instagram, you often have to transfer communication with other users to third-party messengers, such as WhatsApp or Telegram. Communication in Direct is not always convenient: you have to leave a number in the profile description, insert it into each post or send it to each user who wrote, and they are forced to copy it or even enter the number manually.

You can simply create a “Call” button in the profile header, but this option is also not always suitable, because users will have to add the number to the phone book and then search for the contact directly in the messenger. The process is simple, but inconvenient for customers who want to get an answer as quickly as possible.

There is a solution - we create a link to a WhatsApp chat for Instagram. Then the interested user will follow the link to a dialogue with you in one click without any unnecessary movements.

How to create a link in WhatsApp for Instagram
To add WhatsApp to Instagram, you need to create a link. The link should lead to a dialogue with you, so that the user can immediately send a message. To do this, use a special link format that looks like this:

To create a link, use one of these templates, inserting your facebook data phone number into it. The number must be specified in international format, without the digits 8 or the + sign. You only need to enter numbers without unnecessary signs or symbols.


You can improve such a link by adding a message template to it, which will be ready to send immediately after the transition. We take the message “I want to place an order” as a basis.

A correctly formatted link will lead to a WhatsApp dialogue with a message ready to be sent. We recommend that you double-check the link on your device and the device of someone you know before publishing it.

You can create a link using services for creating multi-links. A multi-link is a link that leads to a page (micro-landing) with all important contacts. Here you can insert a link to social networks, messengers, websites, etc. There are both paid and absolutely free services. You can often add a description of the company, location, etc. to such a page. As a result, you get a short link that you can freely share with clients. This is convenient, since the number of contacts that can be inserted into the Instagram header is very limited.
