Displaying a WhatsApp link permanently in your Instagram profile or highlighting it in your Stories Highlights can be effective brand promotion strategies! Here are the steps to add a WhatsApp link to your Stories Highlights:

3. View the published story and double-tap to add it to your Instagram “Highlights.”

Adding WhatsApp to Your Website

Adding WhatsApp to your website offers more flexibility compared to Facebook and Instagram. You can incorporate it in various ways, with one of the simplest methods being to add a link in the text or include a button. Creating this integration is straightforward, and even if you’re not familiar with code, you can use a button generator to create an aesthetically pleasing button.

Click to enter the button generator.

There are two sections. After configuring the settings on the left, the appearance of the button in the right window changes accordingly. There are six customizable settings to adjust the button style:

Color Configuration: Choose a color configuration that complements your design. You can also make further modifications in the subsequent settings.

Button Text: Set the button’s text content, font, color, font size, and other text-related attributes.

Button Style: Configure the button’s size, color, shadow, and rounded corners.

Button Icon: Choose an icon for the button. For example, if it’s a WhatsApp contact button, you can search for WhatsApp icons. This setting also allows you to define the icon’s position.

Text Shadow: Adjust the shadow for the text, including color, size, position, and blur.

Button Shadow: Customize the shadow for the button, including color, size, position, and blur.

Once you’ve completed the configuration, clicking “Get CSS Code” provides you with the code for the button in HTML and CSS format. This can be handy for implementing the button on your website.

How to Modify the HTML Code

The provided HTML code needs a couple of modifications. Two parts need to be adjusted: the class value and the href attribute.

Class Value: You can name this yourself, but it’s recommended to use English without Chinese symbols. If it’s a WhatsApp contact button, you can name it something like WhatsApp_button. Avoid using just “button”.

Href Attribute: Change the href to your WhatsApp link, which should be in the format “http://wa.me/<number>.” Replace <number> with your phone number.

After making these modifications, the HTML code should look like this:

<a class=”WhatsApp_button” href=”https://wa.me/85268969484″>Contact Us</a>

This modified code will create a button with the class “WhatsApp_button,” linking to your WhatsApp contact using the specified phone number.

How to Modify the CSS Code

To modify the CSS code, you just need to replace all instances of “button” with “WhatsApp_button.”

Then, copy the modified CSS code and paste it into the desired location on your website. This ensures that your button will use the new class name for styling.
