The WhatsApp button does not open correctly: what to check

A button can look perfect yet send visitors to the wrong number or an unreadable message. Test phone and desktop journeys before assuming missing inquiries mean no interest.

A button can look perfect yet send visitors to the wrong number or an unreadable message. Test phone and desktop journeys before assuming missing inquiries mean no interest.

What may be happening

Verify the international number, text encoding, and destination. Check every button, since they may not share the same link.

What to change first

  1. Use the correct international number in the link and check that the account belongs to the business.
  2. Prepare a short contextual message. Encode characters and check accents and spaces after opening.
  3. Check the destination without sending test messages to third parties. Explain that the visitor must send the text to start the conversation.

An example to adapt

Example: from a branding page, the message can say “I would like guidance on my business identity.” Personal details or lengthy instructions are unnecessary.

How to check progress

Distinguish WhatsApp clicks from received messages. A recorded click does not confirm that the visitor sent the text.

Questions about this problem

Can I measure sales from the click?

The click indicates intent to open the channel. Conversations and sales require reviewing later stages with authorized data.
