**Calypso Widget · WhatsApp bridge**

# A WhatsApp button for your website that arrives with the question

When the widget cannot answer, when the month’s questions have run out, or when a visitor simply asks for a person, it offers a short form and opens a WhatsApp chat with your number, question included. The lead is in your dashboard before you reply.

**How it works**

## A name, a phone, and a chat with you.

Three stops, none of them a dead end.

1. 01 ### **The visitor asks**

   The widget answers from your content when it can. When it cannot, it says so and offers the bridge.
2. 02 ### **A name and a phone**

   Two fields. The widget keeps the question the visitor already typed.
3. 03 ### **WhatsApp opens**

   A wa.me link with your number and the question. The visitor is in a chat with you on the next tap.

**When it is offered**

## At the moments a chatbot would usually say sorry.

Typical website chatbots end the conversation with an apology. This one ends it with a person.

### **No answer in your content**

The widget does not guess. It says it does not know and offers WhatsApp.

### **The month’s questions are used up**

The widget stays on the site and offers the bridge on every question until you add credits.

### **The visitor asks for a person**

A visitor can take the bridge at any time from the widget itself.

**Where leads land**

## In your dashboard, with the question attached.

Every bridge form lands as a lead: who, when, and what they asked. The conversation itself happens on WhatsApp, with you; the dashboard keeps the record of how it started.

| **Form fields** | Name and phone number |
| --- | --- |
| **What opens** | https://wa.me/<your number>?text=… |
| **Which number** | The WhatsApp number you set in the dashboard |
| **Where the lead goes** | Your widget dashboard, with the visitor’s question |
| **What it costs** | Nothing. The form does not count as a question. |
| **Switching it off** | Leave the number empty and the widget answers without a bridge |
