Create your Free WhatsApp Share Widget

You will get a nice-looking preview card with an image, title, and description, along with a WhatsApp share button that opens the native WhatsApp sharing interface with your pre-formatted message.

PLUS you can redirect the user to a second website after sharing the WhatsApp message!

Yes, you can use the widget with Action Network in two ways:

  • Copy & paste the website HTML code on the thank-you page of a form (be sure to disable the default sharing option from Action Network)
  • Use the email HTML code for the confirmation email sent after a form is submitted

The redirect URL allows you to specify a page where users will be redirected after clicking the share button (website version only). This is useful for:

  • Tracking successful shares
  • Showing a thank you page
  • Offering additional content or promotions
  • Directing users back to your site after sharing

The website HTML code is optimized for web pages and includes features like the redirect URL functionality. The email HTML code is specifically designed for email clients, with table-based layouts and inline styles that ensure compatibility across different email providers. The email version doesn't support the redirect URL feature since it wouldn't work reliably in email clients.

When a user clicks the share button, it opens WhatsApp (either the app or web version) with your pre-formatted message and URL. The widget also supports an optional redirect after sharing, which is useful for tracking or directing users to a thank you page.

Regular WhatsApp share links are plain and don't provide any context about what's being shared. This widget creates an <strong>engaging preview card</strong> that shows users exactly what they're sharing, increasing the likelihood of engagement. It's also fully customizable and works consistently across different platforms and devices.

Adding parameters like ?source=whatsapp to your URLs helps track where your traffic is coming from. This information is valuable for:

  • Understanding which sharing channels are most effective
  • Measuring the success of your WhatsApp sharing campaign
  • Analyzing user behavior based on traffic source
  • Making data-driven decisions about your marketing strategy

The optimal image dimensions are <strong>1200x628 pixels (1.91:1 aspect ratio)</strong>. This ratio works well across different platforms and ensures your image looks great in both the widget and when shared on WhatsApp. Minimum recommended width is 600 pixels to ensure good quality on high-resolution displays.

You can use WhatsApp's native formatting:

    • *text* for bold
    • _text_ for italic
    • __text__ for underlined
    • ~text~ for strikethrough

These will be properly formatted both in the widget preview and in the WhatsApp message.

Yes, you can customize the "Share on WhatsApp" button text to anything you prefer, such as "Share with friends" or "Send via WhatsApp".

When you enter a URL, the tool automatically fetches:

  • Page title
  • Description
  • Featured image
  • Domain name

This data is pulled from Open Graph tags, Twitter Cards, or standard HTML meta tags.

Yes, you can customize all elements under "Link Preview Settings":

  • Title
  • Thumbnail URL
  • Domain name

This is useful when you want to display different information than what's on your webpage.

The email version is designed to work in most major email clients including:

  • Gmail
  • Outlook
  • Apple Mail
  • Yahoo Mail
  • Mobile email apps

However, some features like hover effects might not work in all clients.

You can track shares in several ways:

  • Use the redirect URL feature to redirect users to a tracking page
  • Add UTM parameters to your shared URL
  • Use your website's analytics to track traffic from the source parameter

The widget is designed to gracefully handle missing images. The preview card will still display with the title and domain information, maintaining a professional appearance.

Yes, you can embed the generated HTML code in any WordPress post or page. For better integration, you can use a HTML block or a custom HTML widget.

The widget uses standard HTTPS protocols for sharing and doesn't store any user data. All sharing happens through WhatsApp's official sharing mechanism, ensuring user privacy and security.

Yes, you can implement tracking by:

  • Using the redirect URL feature
  • Adding tracking parameters to your shared URL
  • Implementing click tracking through your website's analytics

The widget supports all modern browsers including:

  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • Edge
  • Mobile browsers

Best practices:

  • Use high-quality images (1200x628px)
  • Write clear, concise messages
  • Keep button text short and action-oriented
  • Test the widget on both desktop and mobile devices<
  • Ensure your thumbnail URL is permanent and accessible
  • Use tracking parameters in your URLs
