A browser extension to turn any phone number on web into a clickable whatsapp link
Easiest way to install the extension is via chrome web store
Alternatively you can install from the source code directly. Here's a guide to install the chrome extension from source code.
Multiple times in a day, I want to whatsapp to phone numbers which are not stored in my phonebook; rather they are somewhere in excel sheets or linkedin/twitter/slack chats or in google search results, etc. Storing number in phonebook takes significant amount of time. This is why I use whatsapp web to send message to those numbers using whatsapp API link. Again creating this link takes significant time and prone to errors.
- How can I save time?
- Can I save message as template to send the same message to multiple people?
whatsapp-anywhere is a browser extension, that turns all the phone numbers you see on any web page(google sheets, documents, chats, social media, websites, etc.).
This is how it works
- Select the phone number text
- Right click to find the whatsapp message link
- Click -> You will be redirected to whatsapp message window
You can save a template message in case you need to send same message to multiple people
- Right click context menu with whatsapp message hyperlink for the selected text
- Support different formats of phone numbers e.g. 911234567890, 91 123 456 7890, 1234567890, (910) 123456789, ....and so on
- Extension options page to change default country code and default message
- Open Whatsapp Message page on the same page (instead of new tab)
- Descriptive error messages shown early(e.g. number is not supported shown without the need of click)
- Don't show hyperlink for non-number text
- Support multiple template messages to choose from
- Remove the need to click on "open whatsapp in browser" and "hit send"
- Script to build final distribution packages via command line
