# Drive traffic to your WhatsApp number using Magic Link

Gallabox's [**WhatsApp Magic Link**](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] feature allows your customers to start a chat with your business without having to save your phone number in their phone's address book. This is a convenient way for your customers to contact you, and it can help you to increase customer engagement.

When a customer clicks on a **Magic Link**, they will be automatically redirected to a WhatsApp chat with your business. This is a quick and easy way for your customers to get in touch with you, and it can help you to resolve their issues quickly and efficiently.

### **Create WhatsApp Magic Link**

* If you have a Gallabox Account, you can create the magic link right from your dashboard. Click on **Create Now**, a pop-up will open. Select the Channel, write the customized message, and customize the link. 

  Use `https://wa.pro/<number>` where the `<number>` is a full phone number in international format.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Remove any zeroes, brackets, or dashes when adding the phone number in international format. Use: `https://wa.pro/91XXXXXXXXXX`Don't use: `https://wa.pro/+91-(XXX)XXXXXXX`
{% endhint %}
