How to link to WhatsApp on Tilda - in detail?

To effectively link to WhatsApp from your Tilda website, you need to create a clickable button or text that opens the WhatsApp application or web version directly when clicked. This can be particularly useful for customer support, quick inquiries, or any scenario where immediate messaging is required. Here’s a detailed guide on how to achieve this:

1. Understanding the Link Structure:

   The basic structure of a WhatsApp link is as follows:

   https://wa.me/[phone_number]?text=[pre-filled_message]

   • Replace [phone_number] with your phone number in international format (e.g., +1234567890).
   • The ?text= parameter is optional but allows you to pre-fill a message that will appear when the user opens WhatsApp.

2. Creating a Button on Tilda:

   • Log in to your Tilda account and navigate to the page where you want to add the link.
   • Click on the area where you would like to place the button and select the "Button" element from the toolbar.

3. Configuring the Button:

   • Once the button is placed, click on it to open the configuration settings.
   • In the "Link" field, paste your WhatsApp link. For example:

     https://wa.me/+1234567890?text=Hello! How can I assist you today?

   • Customize the button text to something inviting like "Chat with Us" or "Send a Message".

4. Styling the Button:

   • Tilda offers various styling options to ensure your button matches your website’s theme. You can change the color, font size, and other visual elements to make it stand out.

5. Testing the Link:

   • After configuring the button, save your changes and preview the page.
   • Click on the WhatsApp button to ensure it opens the correct contact in WhatsApp or prompts the user to install the app if they haven’t already done so.

6. Adding Multiple Links:

   • If you want to link multiple numbers or have different pre-filled messages, simply create additional buttons and configure them with different WhatsApp links.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly integrate a WhatsApp link into your Tilda website, providing a direct line of communication for your visitors. This not only enhances user experience but also improves the chances of engaging visitors in real-time conversations.
