WhatsApp Link Generator with Typeform

D

Hello community,

I am looking to create my own WhatsApp Link generator using Typeform. I know it is possible, since Callbell made one that sends the generated link via email to visitors.

My questions are:

  • Can this be achieved without using any integration?
  • Will the actual wa.me link be made available for easy copying in Typeform?
  • Is it possible not send the links to visitor emails? Are there other options?
  • What kind of data do I get on my side whenever someone generates a link?

Every comment is welcome, since there seems to be very little info about this topic. 

Thanks!

Hey @DonRomán 

I think you may want to look at the structure of the Whatapps link.

Then you can use Typeform “respondent notification”  and generate the link using respondent’s answer.

So it becomes: https://mylink.com?phonenumber={answer_to_phonenumber_question}&text={answer_to_text_question}

Hi @DonRomán Happy little Friday! Thanks for stopping by the community. This looks like such a cool tool! 

While we can’t provide information on forms from other accounts, I have reached out to the account owner of this form to see if they’d be willing to share more about how they built this and the mechanics behind it!

In the meantime, @picsoung do you happen to know anything about creating a form like this? 

Life is a series of awkward moments separated by snacks.
