Sharing content via WhatsApp is a powerful way to reach your audience directly on their mobile devices. Whether you want to share a text message, an image, or a URL, creating a WhatsApp share link is simple and effective. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to create these links and offer tips for making the most of them.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Formulate Your Message:
Create the message you want to share. For example:
Hello 😀!
Check out what I found on the internet: https://cambuildr.com/
2. Encode the Message:
Encode your message to ensure it is URL-friendly. Use an online encoder tool like Meyerweb. The encoded message will look something like this:
Hello%20%F0%9F%98%80!Check%20out%20what%20I%20found%20on%20the%20internet%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fcambuildr.com%2F
3. Combine Everything:
Construct the WhatsApp share link using the encoded message. The URL always starts with https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text= followed by the encoded text. The final link should look like this:
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Hello%20%F0%9F%98%80!Check%20out%20what%20I%20found%20on%20the%20internet%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fcambuildr.com%2F
