Free WhatsApp, Click-to-Call & Text Link Generator

What are WhatsApp, click-to-call and text links?

• WhatsApp link (https://wa.me/14155550132): WhatsApp's own “click to chat” address. It opens a chat with your number without the visitor saving you as a contact. Add ?text= and a message, and it is typed in for them.
• Click-to-call link (tel:+14155550132): tapping it on a phone opens the dialer with your number ready.
• Text link (sms:+14155550132): opens the messages app with your number, and the message where the phone supports it.

The number is always written the international way: country code first, then the number, with no spaces, brackets, dashes or leading 0. This tool does that for you. It removes the leading 0 most countries use only inside the country (Italy keeps it), so check the “Number used” line before you publish.

How to add the buttons to your website

Wix

1. Easiest: add a normal Wix button (Add Elements → Button), click Link (the chain icon) and choose Phone for a call button, or Web Address and paste your WhatsApp link.
2. To use the HTML buttons instead: Add Elements → Embed Code → Embed HTML, click Enter Code, paste the button code and click Update. Test the call and text buttons on your phone after publishing, because Wix shows embedded code in a frame.

WordPress

1. Add a Buttons block, type the button text, click the link icon and paste one of your links.
2. Or add a Custom HTML block (click + and search for it) and paste the button code.
3. Click Update. Many themes also have a header or footer area for a call button.

Squarespace

1. Edit the page, add a Button block, click the link field and paste your WhatsApp, tel: or sms: link.
2. Or add a Code block and paste the button code (Code blocks may depend on your plan).
3. Click Save.

Plain HTML or other builders

Paste the button code where you want the buttons. On most builders, any button or text link that lets you type a web address also accepts these links.

Google Business Profile and Instagram

• Google Business Profile: your phone number already shows as a Call button. Google ended its own Business Profile chat in 2024, so customers can't message you there; where Google lets you add links (for example in Edit profile, check whether your profile can show social links, or a button on an update post), you can use your WhatsApp link. Google decides which links it accepts.
• Instagram: open your profile, tap Edit profile → Links → Add external link, paste your WhatsApp link and give it a title like “Message us on WhatsApp”. Business and creator accounts may also be able to connect WhatsApp directly in Edit profile.
• Facebook page, email signature, Google ads, flyers: the links and QR code work anywhere a link or picture can go.

What this tool does, and its limits

• Makes the links, button code and QR code in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to FlatRateChat (unless you click the demo button, which carries your website address), and nothing is saved.
• It cannot check that a number is real or uses WhatsApp: if it doesn't, WhatsApp shows the visitor a message saying so. Test each link on your own phone.
• Text links with a message are the least predictable: phones and apps differ, and some open the chat without the message. The number part works on phones everywhere.
• WhatsApp is a trademark of WhatsApp LLC. This free tool is made by FlatRateChat and is not made by or connected with WhatsApp or Meta. The QR code is made with the open-source qrcode-generator library (MIT license) by Kazuhiko Arase.
