Link in Bio That Leads to WhatsApp

By VeyloCRM · · 3 min read

The Instagram profile receives visits every day. Most leave without talking to anyone. The link in the bio that opens WhatsApp with a pre-written message turns some of those visits into conversations.

Pre-written message

Use a link that already opens WhatsApp with the typed text: "Hi, I came from Instagram and want to know more."

If you sell more than one thing, use a page with buttons: quote, catalog, support.

Takes 20 seconds. Prefer to talk directly on WhatsApp?

Call to action in bio

Say what happens when clicked: "Talk to us on WhatsApp and get the price immediately."

Highlights

Create a highlight with frequently asked questions and end with an invitation to WhatsApp.

Quick reply

The click is worthless if the response takes too long. An automatic welcome message secures the lead.

Measurement

Different pre-written messages for each link show how many conversations came from Instagram.

One inbox

Direct and WhatsApp in the same place prevent losing those who write in one and respond in the other.

Common mistakes

Broken link, bio without call to action, and a number that no one answers.

Example of automatic message

"Hi! Great that you came from Instagram. Tell me what you’re looking for and I’ll send you the options and prices right away."

Test the call to action

Change the bio text every month and compare how many conversations arrived.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put a pre-written message in the WhatsApp link?

Yes. The WhatsApp link accepts a text that already appears typed for the person, like "Hi, I came from Instagram and want to know the price." This facilitates the first step and shows the contact’s origin.

The bottleneck is almost never the team. It’s the time until the first response.

VeyloCRM responds to the lead immediately in your own language, organizes each conversation in the CRM, and keeps pre-written messages handy for the team — on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger.
