WhatsLink Click Tracker

描述

You have a WhatsApp button on your site. People click it. But you have no idea which page sends 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 WhatsApp, Telegram, and phone link click on your site 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.

It works with any theme, any page builder, and any WhatsApp, Telegram, or phone link format:

  • https://wa.me/
  • https://api.whatsapp.com/send
  • https://t.me/ (Telegram)
  • tel: phone links

Works with every WhatsApp button plugin

WhatsLink adds analytics to any existing WhatsApp button plugin — without replacing or modifying it:

  • Joinchat — adds click tracking and UTM attribution alongside your chatbox
  • Click to Chat for WhatsApp — logs every click your button receives, with page and source data
  • Creame WhatsApp Me — works in parallel, zero conflict
  • Chaty — tracks all WhatsApp clicks from any Chaty widget
  • WP Social Chat — compatible with all WP Social Chat WhatsApp buttons
  • Any manually added wa.me or api.whatsapp.com link — detected automatically

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

常见问题

Does it work with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, and other page builders?

Yes. WhatsLink detects clicks on WhatsApp links regardless of how they were added to the page — through any theme, page builder, or widget.

Which link formats does it support?

WhatsApp: https://wa.me/ and https://api.whatsapp.com/send are detected automatically.

Since version 1.5.5, WhatsLink also tracks Telegram links (https://t.me/) and phone links (tel:). No additional configuration needed.

Does it also track Telegram and phone links?

Yes, since version 1.5.5. Any link with a t.me/ URL or a tel: href is tracked alongside WhatsApp clicks. All three channels appear in the same click log and — if you use WhatsLink PRO — in the Channel Breakdown widget in the Reports dashboard.

How does the click tracking work? Does it modify my WhatsApp links?

No. WhatsLink uses a JavaScript event listener to detect clicks. Your links are never modified — they still open WhatsApp directly as usual. The click is just logged silently in the background.

What is the badge counter?

An optional feature that shows the total number of clicks next to each WhatsApp button — visible only when you are logged in as an admin. Useful for monitoring click activity directly on the page without opening the dashboard.

What’s the difference between the free version and Pro?

The free version gives you the full click log with UTM and referrer data. Pro adds advanced filtering, visual charts, CSV export, and automated email reports. See the full comparison above.

Is it compatible with WooCommerce?

Yes. WhatsApp clicks on product pages are tracked and labeled by product title and type.

Is it GDPR compliant?

The Free version stores no IP addresses, no location data, and no personal user information — only anonymized click events tied to page URLs.

Will it slow down my site?

No. Click logging is asynchronous (uses the browser’s sendBeacon API) and has no impact on page load time.

How many clicks can it store?

There is no hard limit. Clicks are stored in your WordPress database. You can reset the log at any time from the dashboard.

Can I export my click data?

CSV export is available in the Pro version.

更新日志

1.5.6

1.5.5

  • New: Click tracking now covers Telegram links (t.me) and phone links (tel:) in addition to WhatsApp links.

1.5.4

  • Fix: Corrected Pro upgrade link URL in readme — wrong URL was causing a redirect that stripped UTM parameters.

1.5.3

  • Docs: Fixed installation instructions — plugin has a dedicated admin menu item, not under Tools.

1.5.2

  • Compatibility: Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 7.0.

1.5.1

  • Fix: Tracking reliability improvements for sites using dynamic WhatsApp button plugins.
  • Fix: Admin scripts now load only on the plugin pages, not across the entire dashboard.
  • Fix: Improved compatibility on sites with non-standard server configurations.

1.5.0

  • Fix: Click tracking now works correctly with Joinchat, Chaty, WP Social Chat, and any plugin that injects its WhatsApp button via JavaScript. Previously those buttons could go untracked.

1.4.0

  • New: Once you have tracked 10+ clicks, a notice links to WhatsLink PRO for charts and CSV export.
