Pre-filled messages for WhatsApp links: 20 examples by business type

The pre-filled message is the first thing you'll read from each customer. Done well, it tells you where the person comes from and what they need before you have to ask.

What makes a pre-filled message work

• It sounds like something the customer would say. The person sees it typed under their name before sending it. If it reads like ad copy, they delete it.
• It is short. One or two lines. The rest happens in the conversation.
• It identifies the source. “I saw your ad on Instagram”, “I scanned the QR code at the store”. With a different link per channel you know what works.
• It leaves room to fill in. Ending with a colon or an open question invites the person to add the detail.

Technical details

• Line breaks: you can include them. In the URL they are written as %0A; the generator converts them for you if you press Enter in the message field.
• Emojis: they work, but they make the URL much longer. One is enough.
• WhatsApp formatting: asterisks for bold (*like this*) and underscores for italics also work inside a pre-filled message.
• Don't put sensitive data in the message. The full URL is visible to anyone who sees the link.
