What Chatsac Shortener does differently
Free shortener with features usually reserved for Bitly/Walink paid plans. Designed by people running WhatsApp paid campaigns — not by generic shortener builders.
Meta Pixel + CAPI built in
Configure your Pixel ID + CAPI token. Server-side dispatches ViewContent + Lead with high Event Match Quality. Restores attribution broken by iOS 14.5+ and ITP.
UTM pass-through
UTMs received on the short URL propagate automatically to the destination URL before redirect. End-to-end attribution preserved.
Rotating multi-number
Up to 5 WhatsApp numbers per link with round-robin balancing. Ideal for agencies and sales teams with multiple agents.
Click heatmap
See where your clicks come from, down to region. Exclusive to this shortener.
Public Report Card
Every link generates a shareable page at tools.chatsac.com/r/{hash} with heatmap, hourly curve, and splits. Show performance to clients without giving dashboard access.
WhatsApp compliance
Strict encapsulation in api.whatsapp.com/send. The server never dispatches messages — the human client opens WhatsApp and sends. Meta treats it as organic P2P.

Frequently asked questions
What is a WhatsApp link shortener?
A tool that turns long WhatsApp URLs (wa.me with number + pre-filled message) into short, memorable links. Clicking opens WhatsApp with the conversation ready. Ideal for Instagram bio, ads, printed QR, and campaigns.

How does built-in Meta Pixel and CAPI work?
Paste your Pixel ID + CAPI token in link settings. Every click fires ViewContent and Lead server-side with high Event Match Quality. Restores attribution broken by iOS 14.5+ and ITP. Walink and Bitly free don't offer this.
Can I use the same link with multiple numbers?
Yes — up to 5 numbers per link with round-robin balancing on each click. To activate, we ask for a simple declaration of ownership (compliance).
What domain are my links on?
Short links live on linkzap.io — Chatsac's dedicated shortener domain. We isolate redirects from chatsac.com to protect both domains' reputation. Default format: linkzap.io/a7Xk2.
How does UTM pass-through work?
If the click arrives at the short link with UTM parameters (e.g., utm_source=instagram&utm_campaign=may-promo), they're injected into the destination URL before the 302. Attribution preserved in Google Analytics, HubSpot, any destination CRM.
What is the public Report Card?
Every link generates a public /r/{hash} page with an animated heatmap, click curves, and splits by device, referer, browser. Synthetic OG image included — share on LinkedIn and show performance to a client without giving dashboard access.
How do I shorten a WhatsApp link?
Paste the number (and a message if you want). The WhatsApp link shortener builds a short URL on linkzap.io that opens WhatsApp. Use it for bios and ads. Do not use it as a generic shortener for any web URL.
