A WhatsApp link opens a chat with your number, with a message already typed for the customer. A short hi4.in version of it also counts how many people tapped it.
Steps
- Open the free WhatsApp link generator. Log in first if you want the link saved to your account with click stats.
- Choose your country and type your WhatsApp number. WhatsApp Business numbers work too.
- Type the message customers should send you, or tap a ready template such as Order or Price enquiry.
- Keep Make a short hi4.in link with click stats switched on and select Create WhatsApp link.
- Copy the short link or download the QR code, and tap Test it to check that the right chat opens.
What the click stats show
When the link was made while you were logged in, it appears in My Links and its clicks appear in Analytics. You can see:
- How many times the link was tapped, by day.
- Roughly where people were (country and city) and what device they used.
Stats show how many people tapped, not who they were. WhatsApp does not tell link tools whether the message was actually sent — you will see that in your WhatsApp chats.
Use one link per place
Make separate links for your Instagram bio, your WhatsApp Status and your printed counter card, each with its own title. A ready message that names the source ("Hi, I saw your post on Instagram") also helps you know where an order came from.
Change the number or message later
Open My Links, edit the link and paste a new WhatsApp address as the destination. The short link stays the same, so your printed QR codes keep working.
How the direct link works
Behind the short link is WhatsApp's own click-to-chat address: https://wa.me/919876543210?text=Hi. The number is written with the country code (91 for India) and without a +, spaces, dashes or a leading 0. The tool builds this for you.
