Add WhatsApp chat options to your Hostinger AI Builder manual mode website.

Updated 2 weeks ago

Connect WhatsApp to your Hostinger AI Builder manual mode website using a floating chat bubble, a linked icon, or a product page chat button.

Add a floating WhatsApp chat bubble

  1. Within the builder, open the integrations settings
  2. Find the WhatsApp field.
  3. Insert your phone number and a default message there:

In the phone number field, insert numbers only, including your country code (e.g., 37061234567, where 370 is the country code). No extra symbols are needed. The WhatsApp field accepts a phone number only. To show other contact details on your website, such as a WhatsApp username, add a link to your social media channels, see Hostinger AI Builder: How to add links in manual mode.

Finally, save the changes and update your website.

NOTE

  • By default, it is not possible to replace the WhatsApp icon to a personalized image.
