Create Short WhatsApp Links

Free, no sign-up required. Your link will be ready in seconds.

WhatsApp click-to-chat links (wa.me URLs) let customers message your business directly with a single tap. But wa.me links with pre-filled messages become very long, and they lack any built-in analytics. y.hn compresses these WhatsApp URLs into memorable short links like y.hn/chat or y.hn/support, making them perfect for business cards, social media bios, and printed marketing materials.

For businesses running WhatsApp-based customer service or sales funnels, y.hn adds a critical missing piece: click analytics. See how many people initiate a chat via your link each day, which countries they are in, and which marketing channel drove the click. This data is essential for measuring the ROI of campaigns that drive traffic to WhatsApp conversations, whether you are running Facebook Ads, distributing flyers, or promoting on Instagram.

y.hn also makes it easy to create multiple WhatsApp links with different pre-filled messages for different purposes — one for sales inquiries, another for support tickets, a third for appointment booking — each with its own short URL and separate analytics. QR codes can be generated instantly for each link, ideal for restaurant tables, store windows, or product packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a WhatsApp click-to-chat link?▼
A WhatsApp click-to-chat link (wa.me/phonenumber) lets anyone open a WhatsApp conversation with you by clicking a single URL. y.hn shortens these links and adds click tracking so you know how many people initiate chats.
Does the pre-filled message still work after shortening?▼
Yes. y.hn redirects to the full wa.me URL with all parameters intact, including the pre-filled text parameter. The recipient sees the exact message you configured.
Can I use this for WhatsApp Business?▼
Absolutely. y.hn works with both personal WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business numbers. Many businesses use y.hn short links on their websites, ads, and printed materials to route customers into WhatsApp conversations.
How do I track which marketing channel drives the most WhatsApp chats?▼
