Start Using WhatsApp Meeting Links With The API To Grow Your Business

Optionally use the search filters to find specific links by URL, token, message, creation or expiration date.

WhatsApp is a tool that is evolving to make life easier, not only individually, but also as a member of a business. Today, WhatsApp allows you to communicate with your customers in a direct and precise way. No more tedious emails that never get answered, calls at inconvenient times, or notifications that are forgotten. WhatsApp-based marketing is already a reality, and communicating with your clients and partners has never been easier. In addition to this, WhatsApp allows you to create call links so you can talk to multiple people at once, whether it’s your work team, a potential client, or a future partner with whom you want to close a deal.

FAQs

1. How do I create a WhatsApp meeting link, and what is its purpose?

You can create a new WhatsApp meeting link for voice or video calls using the Meeting Links feature. This lets you start a call with any WhatsApp user by simply sharing a URL link. Optionally, you can add a description to remind you of the call’s purpose and set an expiration time for the link.

2. When does a WhatsApp meeting link expire?

By default, a meeting link will expire in 15 days if it’s not used. Once the link is used for a call, it will expire automatically. If the session is offline, the link cannot be created, and an error (503 Not Available) will be returned.

3. Can I delete or revoke a WhatsApp meeting link?

You can delete meeting links internally using their ID, URL, token, or creation date. However, once shared, the link cannot be revoked on WhatsApp. Others can still use the link if it has not expired.
