Create a link that will open Viber and WhatsApp and will send a message to me
Viber link to user should be like this:
viber://contact?number=%2B0000000000000
Use international telephone number format without +
but with %2B
.
Since you don't want to create a public account (aka viber links including /pa? ) then simple add the link: <a href="viber://chat?number=012345678901"">chat with me</a>
The first two digits are country code and no + sign needed.
What you need is called deep-linking, some examples for viber
and whatsapp
are:
Viber:
<a href="viber://pa?chatURI=[public account URI]&text=[message text]"> some text </a>
WhatsApp:
<a href="whatsapp://send?abid=[users name]&text=[message text]"> some text </a>
While not a deep link, you can also use the following url (don't use +
on phone) for WhatsApp:
<a href="https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=0000000">Contact Me</a>
