在WhatsApp Web中共享链接以获取数据

Question

I have a web application and in that, I am trying to share a link to WhatsApp web application and Mobile app.

The Mobile app link is working fine.

<a target="_blank" href="whatsapp://send?text='http://uaereb.com/property-details/?property_id=41" data-action="share/whatsapp/share"><i class="fa fa-whatsapp whatsapp"></a>

But for the web, the get value is not coming.

<a target="_blank" href="https://web.whatsapp.com/send?text=http://uaereb.com/property-details/?property_id=41"></a>

The shareable link is coming as " http://uaereb.com/property-details/?property_id= " in the WhatsApp web.

Could anyone tell me please what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

Instead of = use %3D because whatsapp for web only reads urlencoded language or something like that there for ? you would use %3F and for spaces in your string you would use %20

Answer 2

You need to encode the message to be sent. https://www.url-encode-decode.com/?_ga=2.169715105.1084578027.1543263981-326105195.1543263981

New Update: Nov 2018

<a href="https://wa.me/?text=<<HERE GOES THE URL ENCODED TEXT YOU WANT TO SHARE>>" data-action="share/whatsapp/share">Share via Whatsapp</a>

And that's it. No Javascript needed, nothing else needed. and if you want go a create a nice Whatsapp icon applying the styles.
