This is Meta's own documentation for the click-to-WhatsApp ad, the exact entry point a lot of Indian founders lean on because their buyers already live on WhatsApp. It is the canonical source for how the ad routes someone straight into a chat instead of a landing page. Start here for the real setup rather than a vendor blog reselling you a tool.

Ads that Click to WhatsApp: Marketing API Documentation

From Meta for Developers by Meta Reference doc

  • The ad opens a WhatsApp chat with a pre-filled opener, so a prospect starts a conversation in one tap instead of filling a form
  • Setup needs a Facebook Page with a linked WhatsApp number and the Engagement or Leads objective, so sort the WhatsApp Business account first
  • This suits markets where WhatsApp is the default way people talk to businesses, which is exactly the case for most of India
