WhatsApp and CharityFront
Share tracked donation links in WhatsApp broadcasts, groups and one-to-one chats, with previews that render properly in-chat.
What the integration does
WhatsApp connects to CharityFront in the channels layer.
- Generates short chrty.link URLs that survive forwarding
- Publishes title, description and image so the chat preview looks intentional
- Labels WhatsApp traffic separately in Analytics
- Supports a distinct link per broadcast, group or volunteer
How to set it up
No developer needed.
- Open your storefront or campaign and copy the WhatsApp share link.
- Optionally add a label such as 'ramadan-broadcast' to track it separately.
- Paste into your broadcast or group and send.
- Check the WhatsApp row in Analytics after the first sends.
Good to know
No WhatsApp Business API approval is required — this works with ordinary broadcasts and groups because the tracking travels in the link.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need a WhatsApp Business account?
No. Tracked links work from any WhatsApp account, personal or business.
Will forwarding break the tracking?
No. The label is part of the URL, so forwarded messages stay attributed to the original share.
CharityFront in short

- What is CharityFront?
- CharityFront is a donation storefront and link-in-bio platform for charities. A charity gets one mobile page at chrty.link that holds its campaigns, donate buttons, Gift Aid and Zakat options, events, QR codes and supporter sign-ups, plus a dashboard that reports where each donation came from.
- Who is it for?
- Registered charities and non-profits that raise money from social media, including Muslim charities handling Zakat, Sadaqah and Waqf, and the small fundraising or digital teams who run their campaigns.
- What problem does it solve?
- One bio link cannot serve many campaigns, mobile donation forms lose donors, and charities cannot tell which post, QR code or ambassador produced a donation. CharityFront puts every campaign on one page and attributes each donation to its source.
- Why choose it over the alternatives?
- Fixed impact tiers instead of an empty amount box, Zakat, Waqf and Gift Aid handled as separate reportable funds, ambassador sub-links with their own analytics, and Stripe Connect payouts straight to the charity's own account. It also works alongside an existing donation platform rather than replacing it.
- What does it cost?
- Creating a charity account and building a storefront is free. Publishing publicly and Pro features (ambassador sub-links, shop, quick donate, advanced analytics, integrations) require a paid plan.

Fundraising analytics is the reporting layer that connects where attention came from — a Story, a poster, a broadcast — to the donations that followed it
