🔗 What is a WhatsApp Link with Pre-Filled Message?


It’s a direct link that opens a WhatsApp conversation and automatically fills in a custom message.

The standard format is:

https://wa.me/PHONE?text=MESSAGE

📌 Example:

https://wa.me/5511999999999?text=Hello%2C+I%27m+interested+in+your+services

When a user clicks or scans the QR Code, WhatsApp opens, and the message is ready to send.
