# Share Confirmation via WhatsApp

> Send a public confirmation link directly to a guest's WhatsApp from any reservation, or copy the link for manual sharing.

Send a public confirmation link directly to a guest's WhatsApp from any reservation, or copy the link to share it manually.

### **Business Value**

* Speeds up guest communication by sending confirmation links instantly via WhatsApp.
* Reduces manual steps — no need to copy links and open WhatsApp separately.
* Validates and auto-corrects guest mobile numbers based on country code before sending.
* Supports custom confirmation templates, ensuring guests receive a branded confirmation.
* Works for both individual and group reservations from a single consistent flow.

### **Use Cases**

* Front desk agent shares the confirmation link via WhatsApp after a reservation is made — the guest receives it instantly on their phone.
* Reservations manager copies the public confirmation link to paste into an email or messaging platform.
* Group coordinator enters the group contact's mobile number to send the confirmation link for a group booking.

Two new buttons appear when viewing the Confirmation:

#### **Copy Public Link**

Click **Copy Public Link** to copy the confirmation's public URL to your clipboard. You can then paste it into any channel — email, chat, or SMS.

#### **Share Via WhatsApp**

Click **Share Via WhatsApp** to open a WhatsApp message pre-addressed to the guest's mobile number with the confirmation link as the message text.

**For Individual Reservations:**

The system automatically looks up the mobile number from the main guest profile:

1. If the guest profile has a **Mobile** number → uses it directly.
2. If Mobile is empty → falls back to the **Telephone** field.
3. If both are empty → displays a prompt with a **Mobile Number** field and a **Save & Send** button. Enter the number and click **Save & Send** to save it to the guest profile and send.

**For Group Reservations:**

A **Mobile Number** field is displayed for you to enter the number that should receive the WhatsApp message.

**Mobile Number Formatting**

The system automatically corrects common formatting issues before sending:

| **Number format**                     | **Action**                                          |
| ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Starts with `00`                      | Replaced with `+` (e.g., `0020` → `+20`)            |
| Starts with a digit (no country code) | Country code added based on the guest's nationality |
| Starts with `+`                       | Used as-is                                          |

| Note: If the instance has a custom confirmation template, the shared public link renders that custom template for the guest. |
