block type
The direct chat block.
One tap opens the conversation, with the first message already written.
Comments and DMs are a queue you do not control. A direct chat block moves the conversation into the app you actually answer, and it happens in one tap from the page.
Choose WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS, add the number or handle, and the tap opens the thread. Add an optional prefilled message so the visitor does not have to work out how to start, which is usually why they never write at all.
There is no inbox on our side. The message goes to you, in the app you already have open.

questions
Straight answers.
- Which apps does the chat block open?
- WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS. You pick one per block and add the number or the handle it should open.
- Can I write the first message for them?
- Yes. An optional prefilled message means the visitor taps once and the conversation already has a first line, which is usually why they write at all.
- Does urls.bio see the conversation?
- No. The tap opens the app on their phone and the thread is between the two of you. There is no inbox on our side.
