## Questions about WhatsApp links

### How do I create a WhatsApp link for my business?

Enter your WhatsApp number with its country code above, and optionally a message for customers. The tool makes a wa.me link and a QR code; copy the link or download the QR code as a PNG or SVG.

### Is this WhatsApp link generator free?

Yes. It's free with no sign-up, and the link and QR code are made in your browser, so nothing you type is sent to HeyKiko.

### Can I add a message to a WhatsApp link?

Yes. The message is added to the link and appears typed in the customer's chat; they still press send. Keep it short: this tool allows up to 500 characters.

### Does a WhatsApp QR code expire?

No. The QR code holds your wa.me link, so it keeps working as long as the number is on WhatsApp. If you change the message, make a new code.

### Does the customer need my number saved?

No. According to WhatsApp, a wa.me link opens a chat with your number whether or not the customer has it saved. They do need WhatsApp installed, or WhatsApp Web.

### Does it work with a WhatsApp Business account?

Yes. A wa.me link works for any number that's on WhatsApp, including numbers on the WhatsApp Business app and the WhatsApp Business Platform.

### Can someone answer these chats automatically?

Yes. If your number is connected to an AI agent such as HeyKiko, the agent answers the chats your link starts, around the clock, and hands them to your team when needed.
