I have a website that a lot of people view on mobile. I have link for : Call and SMS and I want to add one for Whatsapp, so a user can click the whatsapp link I create and start a conversation with me.
If this is possible can someone point me in the right direction on how?

Use https://wa.me/whatsappphonenumber?text=urlencodedtext where whatsappphonenumber is a full phone number in international format and urlencodedtext is the URL-encoded pre-filled message.
A Share this on whatsapp button : Use https://wa.me/?text=urlencodedtext to open a whatsapp contact selection dialog with a preset text. e.g.
Open the app and navigate to Settings > Business Tools > Short Links. Tap “short link” to view the link. Tap the link icon to copy the link and paste it into a message, social post, or add it to another website.

I did a quick mock up and tried it on my iphone with a link like this from a webpage and it opened the app on my iphone.
<a href="whatsapp://send?text=Hello%2C%20World!">whatsapp</a> I could not try to send a message as I don't have a current Whatsapp account sorry.
Add user name using abid parameter
let's say your whatsapp username was username then it would be
<a href="whatsapp://send?abid=username&text=Hello%2C%20World!">whatsapp</a> once again sorry I can't test this. Also I have no idea what would happen if the username is the actual user of the current mobile device. eg. You try to whatsapp yourself.
