A WhatsApp message button that performs an action — opening a URL or dialling a phone number — rather than sending a reply.

What Call-to-Action Button means

A call-to-action (CTA) button is an interactive button in a WhatsApp message that takes the customer out to an action rather than sending a reply. The two standard types open a website URL or start a phone call. A common example is a Track your order button that links to a tracking page, or a Call us button.

CTA buttons differ from quick reply buttons, which send a preset text reply back into the chat. CTA buttons drive customers to external destinations, so they are useful for payments, bookings and support hand-offs.

InfiQ supports CTA buttons in message templates, and provides free generators for WhatsApp CTA buttons and click-to-chat links you can embed on your own site.
