👋 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.

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!

You have mentioned that please Whatsapp on Desktop to avoid opening the link in a new tab. Why is that so? Even after downloading the Whatsapp I have to open the link in a new tab

@wittyfarzi if you have WhatsApp installed, it would redirect you to the application. Otherwise, it would open the Whatsapp in a new tab. Do you think I should reword in the page?

@janicebradford I don't have much idea about it but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work. If the number is able to recieve otp, then only that is needed for Whatsapp verification.

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 ---

I have yet to find a way to auto-close the tab that is opened, I'll let you know when I find it!

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!

@shreyas_prakash1 Thanks Shreyas. Glad you like it. True I made this to save the trouble of saving the time or mostly a form of procrastination :P. Just a note that you would be using your number only to send the message to the said person. Would love to hear your feedbacks.
