The WhatsApp opener
Message any number on WhatsApp without saving it as a contact first.
Someone hands you a number — off a shopfront, a Google Maps listing, a voice note — and you want to message them on WhatsApp. Saving a contact first is paperwork. The opener skips it.
Open a chat in three moves
- In the app sidebar, go to Utilities → WhatsApp Opener.
- Paste or type the number into the Phone number field. Spacing and punctuation don't matter; the country does. Include the country code —
+91 98765 43210— or write the number the local way with its leading zero, and eKard matches it against common country codes. - Press Open in WhatsApp.
What happens when you press it
eKard reads the number, tidies it into full international form, and hands you straight to the WhatsApp chat. Nothing is stored along the way: no contact created, no history kept, no list to clean up later.
If the number can't be read, the page asks for it again. The cure is almost always the country code: a bare local number could belong to a dozen countries, and eKard won't guess on your behalf — put + and the code in front and press the button again.
It pairs well with the card itself: a visitor who wants you on WhatsApp taps once on your public page, and you reach the numbers you collect the same way — see the course on contact channels for putting WhatsApp on your own card.
