WhatsApp Chat Widget for Websites
Make it easier for visitors to contact your business from any page. Jotformās WhatsApp Chat Widget lets you add a customizable chat button, welcome message, and optional message field to your website without writing code.
How to add a WhatsApp Chat Widget
Connect your WhatsApp contact
Enter your WhatsApp phone number or add a supported short link. You can also prepare a default message to help visitors begin the conversation.
Customize the chat experience
Edit the agent name, welcome message, button text, colors, size, badge, and screen placement to fit your website.
Get the embed code
Copy the generated embed code and paste it into a custom HTML or embed block on your website.
Help visitors to start direct WhatsApp conversations
Route visitors to the right chat
Connect the widget using a phone number, wa.me link, api.whatsapp.com link, or wa.link URL. Visitors can move from your website to the appropriate WhatsApp conversation without searching for your contact information.
Set expectations before chats begin
Use the welcome message, agent name, and caption to introduce your business and explain what visitors can ask about. Clear context helps customers understand whether the chat is intended for sales, support, bookings, quotes, or general questions.
Collect context before WhatsApp opens
Display a clear CTA button or let visitors type a short message before continuing to WhatsApp. A default or visitor-written message can give your team useful context before the conversation begins.
Keep chat visible and on-brand
Customize the chat bubble, header, message background, CTA colors, width, badge, rounded corners, and screen position. Create a recognizable contact option that complements your website and remains accessible across desktop and mobile screens.
