You have a WhatsApp button, a Telegram link, or a “Call us” number on your site. People click them. But you have no idea which page starts the most conversations, which campaign is worth running again, or whether your homepage button even gets used.

WhatsLink Click Tracker fixes that.

Install it, activate it, and every click on a WhatsApp, Telegram, or phone link is logged automatically — post title, page URL, click date, UTM source, UTM campaign, UTM medium, and referrer. No code changes. No Google Tag Manager. No custom events.

Three channels, one click log

WhatsApp — wa.me, api.whatsapp.com, WhatsApp Web (web.whatsapp.com), and app links (whatsapp://)
Telegram — t.me links
Phone calls — tel: links, such as “Call us” buttons

Plain links, buttons, and chat widgets that open WhatsApp from JavaScript are all tracked, on any theme and any page builder.

Works with popular WhatsApp button plugins

WhatsLink adds analytics to your existing WhatsApp button plugin — without replacing or modifying it. Tested with:

Click to Chat for WhatsApp — the floating widget, shortcodes, and ctc_chat buttons
Joinchat (formerly WhatsApp me by Creame) — the chat button and its chat window
Chaty — the WhatsApp channel on mobile and desktop (WhatsApp Web)
Social Chat (formerly WhatsApp Chat) — the floating WhatsApp button
Any manually added WhatsApp, Telegram, or phone link — detected automatically

Just install WhatsLink alongside your existing button plugin. No configuration.

Works on posts, pages, WooCommerce products, and any other post type.

For developers: react to every click

Since 1.6.0, WhatsLink announces each click it logs with a whatslink:click event on document, once per click and after the click is saved. The event detail has the clicked link (url), the channel (whatsapp, telegram, or phone), and the page where it happened (page).

document.addEventListener( 'whatslink:click', function ( event ) {
    window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
    window.dataLayer.push( {
        event: 'whatslink_click',
        channel: event.detail.channel,
        link_url: event.detail.url
    } );
} );

Prefer no code? WhatsLink PRO sends the same clicks to Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, and the Meta Pixel from a settings page.

Why upgrade to Pro?

The free version tells you what happened. Pro tells you why and helps you act on it.

👉 WhatsLink Click Tracker Pro

New in Pro: Ad Conversions. If you run Google Ads or Meta (Facebook and Instagram) ads, Pro sends every WhatsApp, Telegram, and phone click to your ad accounts as a conversion:

Google Ads — paste your conversion action and every click counts as a conversion, so Smart Bidding can optimize for conversations
Meta Pixel — the standard Contact event, ready to use as a conversion in Ads Manager
Google Analytics 4 — whatsapp_click, telegram_click, and phone_click events to mark as key events (Google Tag Manager data layer supported)

No code and no new tracking scripts: Pro uses the Google and Meta tags your site already loads, so your cookie banner and consent settings keep applying.

Pro also adds:

Reports dashboard with date range and UTM source, medium, and campaign filters
KPI overview — total clicks, unique links clicked, pages generating clicks, and UTM coverage
Channel breakdown — WhatsApp vs Telegram vs phone
Trend chart — daily click volume over time
Top UTM sources chart, plus Top Pages and Top Clicked URLs tables
CSV export — choose the date range and columns
Real-time email notifications — get alerted on each new click
Daily and weekly summary emails, with the full list attached as CSV
Priority support
