TalkToHim Fast Chat

Description

TalkToHim Fast Chat lets you and your site visitors quickly open WhatsApp chat links to any phone number without saving it to your contacts first.

The plugin generates public wa.me links compatible with WhatsApp Web, Desktop and mobile apps.

In addition to the built-in chat link generator, the plugin includes a customizable floating WhatsApp widget that allows visitors to contact the site owner directly from any page of the website.

This plugin is designed as a lightweight utility tool for fast and direct communication.

Features

  • Admin tool — accessible from the WordPress sidebar, always one click away.
  • Shortcode [talktohim_fast_chat] — embed the tool on any page, post or widget area.
  • 30+ country prefixes — with flag emojis and full country names.
  • Pre-filled message — optionally set a default message for the chat input.
  • Recent numbers — the last 10 used numbers are stored locally for quick re-use (admin only).

  • Flexible display modes — show icon only or icon with text.
  • Desktop and mobile visibility controls — choose where the widget is displayed.
  • Dynamic message placeholders — automatically include page information inside the WhatsApp message.
  • Focused admin UI — simple and fast interface for quick use.
  • No external API calls — the plugin generates standard chat links and does not connect to external APIs.
  • Accessible — semantic HTML, labels and keyboard navigation support.

Floating Widget

TalkToHim Fast Chat can display a floating WhatsApp contact button on the front end of your website.

Go to TalkToHim Floating Widget to configure:

  • phone number and country prefix
  • pre-filled message
  • button label
  • widget color
  • bottom left or bottom right position
  • icon-only or icon-and-text display
  • desktop and mobile visibility

The widget generates a public wa.me link and does not connect to external APIs.

Dynamic Placeholders

The floating widget supports dynamic placeholders inside the pre-filled message:

  • {site_name} — current website name
  • {page_title} — current page title
  • {page_url} — current page URL

Example:

Hello! I'm contacting you from {page_title} on {site_name}.

Shortcode Usage

Basic usage:

[talktohim_fast_chat]

With custom prefix and message:

[talktohim_fast_chat prefix="39" message="Hello! I found your number on the website."]

Privacy

TalkToHim Fast Chat does not collect, store or transmit any personal data to the plugin author’s servers.

Phone numbers entered in the admin tool are stored only in the browser’s localStorage on the current device.

The shortcode does not use cookies or local storage.

When a user clicks a generated chat link or the floating widget, the browser opens the public chat URL with the number and optional message configured by the site owner or entered by the user.
