Number To Whatsapp - Quickest way to start a Whatsapp conversation

👋 Hello Product Hunt Community! I am Amit and I built this utility tool to quickly start a Whatsapp conversation. Normally, you would have to save the contact of the said person first. This behaviour really bugs me. The result: A simple page where you add the number and start the conversation. I use it for one-time conversations like sharing my location with delivery people or sending someone really quick. This was also useful during Covid wave 2 in India. A tens of volunteers where providing help via Whatsapp; storing each number or using https://api.whatsapp.com/ was cumbersome for the folks involved. I invite you to use it for your use cases. 🙏🏼 Would love to know what you guys think? Looking forward to your feedback.

Congratulations on the launch! Definitely solves a major problem

Amazing product amit

There are products that are SIMPLE and JUST DOES THE MUCH NEEDED JOB This is one of them. So proud of you Amit to pull this off and put it out for everyone 🙌🏼

This is brilliant! Not only do you save the time, but also make it easy to protect your privacy when it comes to location sharing etc. I remember facing this issue while having to share locations to delivery guys and wondered if there was an easier way to do that without sharing WA number, Amazing product, highly needed, congrats!

This is brilliant! I honestly did not know how much I needed this. What a fantastic utility.

Great work, Amit! Definitely gonna use this now

Initially I couldn't understand what's the usecase of the product. But, found when I read your comment, it really a great usecase with simple interface. Congrats on launch !

Brilliant Work Amit 🚀

Hi Amit, very nice tool. I really like the simplicity of use. What might help to further improve user-friendliness would be either an ability to type the country phone code manually or do a quick search there. Took me a while to find my country in the codes. Otherwise, amazing tool. Good luck!

Hi @chhabraamit -- Congratulations! This is a real use-case. Are you planning on building a Chrome extension? I'm imagining a dropdown on click, from the extension panel, where I enter the number and a submit takes me to the convo. Regardless, thanks!

Awesome - next step - chrome extension, and later, mobile!

Lovely solution! If you are on a Mac and you have Alfred, you can also create a quick workflow: https://cln.sh/nt0061 Code you'll need: https://cln.sh/SUCFux --- var=${1//[[:space:]]/} varr=${var//./} open https://api.whatsapp.com/send/?p... -gj ---

Much needed product @chhabraamit. Thanks for making this.

Cool, i used to wonder is there any way tat i can message someone without saving it. Cool product.

Always wanted something like this. Thanks for the amazing product finally!

This is always a pain point, you have solved it beautifully !!! Congratulations 🥳

I hate saving numbers just to WhatsApp them. This is going to be so useful.

Earlier I had to save contacts for sending washes to unsaved numbers, but this solves it and makes it so much easier , Thanks for building it and Congratulations @chhabraamit
