How to add a link to WhatsApp in Tilda - in detail?

Adding a WhatsApp link to your Tilda website can significantly enhance user engagement and communication. Here is a detailed guide on how to achieve this:

  1. Prepare Your WhatsApp Link:

    First, you need to create the correct format for your WhatsApp link. The standard structure for a WhatsApp link is as follows:

    https://wa.me/<phone_number>

    Replace <phone_number> with the actual phone number you want users to contact, including the country code. For example, if your phone number is +1234567890 in the United States, the link would be:

    https://wa.me/1234567890

  2. Access Your Tilda Dashboard:

    Log in to your Tilda account and navigate to the dashboard where you can manage your websites. Select the website to which you want to add the WhatsApp link.

  3. Edit Your Website:

    Once you have selected your website, click on the "Edit" button to enter the editing mode. This will allow you to make changes to the content of your website.

  4. Add a Text Block or Button:

    Depending on how you want to present the WhatsApp link, you can add either a text block or a button. To do this:

    • Click on the "+" icon to add a new element.
    • Select "Text" if you want to create a clickable text link, or select "Button" if you prefer a more prominent call-to-action.

  5. Insert the WhatsApp Link:

    If you have added a text block:

    • Type in the text that you want users to see (e.g., "Contact us on WhatsApp").
    • Highlight the text and click on the link icon (usually represented by a chain).
    • Paste your WhatsApp link into the URL field and press Enter.

    If you have added a button:

    • Click on the button to select it.
    • In the button settings, look for an option to add a link.
    • Paste your WhatsApp link into the URL field and save the changes.

  6. Test the Link:

    Before publishing, make sure to test the link to ensure it directs users correctly to WhatsApp. Click on the text or button where you added the link and verify that it opens the WhatsApp application with your phone number pre-filled.

  7. Publish Your Website:

    Once you have confirmed that the link works correctly, save your changes and publish your website. This will make the WhatsApp link live and accessible to all visitors.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly integrate a WhatsApp link into your Tilda website, providing users with an easy way to contact you directly.
