I have added some logos at the end of my website. I want to open respective apps based on the logos when clicked by users. This menu is shown when the user accesses the site via mobile
How can I open whatsapp message for a particular number when user clicks on it?
For example for email we have mailto and for telephone we have tel
You can use href of this element to
<a href="whatsapp://send?text=WHATEVER_LINK_OR_TEXT_YOU_WANT_TO_SEND" title="Share on whatsapp">WhatsApp</a>
For a specific number
href="//api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=91MOBILE_NUMBER&text=WHATEVER_LINK_OR_TEXT_YOU_WANT_TO_SEND"
Please make sure in phone, there is CountryCode 91 for India
They have a function called Click to Chat which I have tested in standard banners.
WhatsApp's Click to Chat feature allows you to begin a chat with someone without having their phone number saved in your phone's address book. As long as you know this person’s phone number, you can create a link that will allow you to start a chat with them. By clicking the link, a chat with the person automatically opens. Click to Chat works on both your phone and WhatsApp Web.
Works on web, mobile web and mobile apps
Example of clicthrough URL - https://wa.me/0123456789?text=I'm%20interested%20in%20your%20car%20for%20sale

On a website that is based on a CMS engine like WordPress, for the case of the WordPress CMS, the page title will be the pre-filled message, which is very useful if you want to know from what website page/title the request is coming.
To create your own link with a pre-filled message that will automatically appear in the text field of a chat, use <a href="whatsapp://send?text= <?php the_title_attribute(); ?> &phone=:whatsappphonenumber </a>
Where: the_title_attribute(); is the WordPress Function retrieving or displaying the current title, and
whatsappphonenumber is the WhatsApp number used to receive the message.
