Get a WhatsApp alert when your link is clicked

Email alerts get buried. Slack is for work. The place most of us actually see a message instantly is WhatsApp. So why not get your link-click alerts there?

The idea

Shorten a link, share it, and the moment someone clicks, a WhatsApp message lands on your phone: "New click on your proposal — Amsterdam, iPhone, just now." For salespeople, recruiters and freelancers who live on their phones, it's the fastest possible signal to follow up.

What to know about WhatsApp alerts

  • Opt-in is required. WhatsApp only delivers business messages to numbers that have opted in — you verify your own number once.
  • Templates & fair use. Messages go out via approved templates, and sensible tools batch high-volume links into a digest so you (and your number's reputation) stay safe.
  • It's a premium channel. Because each WhatsApp message has a real cost, it's usually part of a paid plan — while email and in-app alerts stay free.

Setting it up with Clikt

On Clikt, WhatsApp is one of the notification channels you can switch on per link (Pro plan). Opt in your number, pick WhatsApp, and your click alerts start landing in the app you check most. Email and live dashboard alerts are free on every plan, so you can start now for free → and add WhatsApp when you're ready.
