WhatsApp welcome and away message examples for business
A good first message tells people they are in the right place, and what happens next. The WhatsApp Business app lets you set a greeting message and an away message for when you cannot reply. This page gives you examples to copy.
Whatslynk does not set those messages for you. What it does is make the first message the customer sends: a link or QR code opens a chat with a message already typed in, so the conversation starts with context.

Add your number and the message below is already written for you. Change any words you like, then create your link and QR code.
