How To Share a Digital Business Card on WhatsApp—& 7 Reasons Why

3 Tips to optimize your WhatsApp digital business card

Uniqode’s digital business card comes with a lot of features. We’ve compiled four tips to make the most of your digital contact card on WhatsApp. Take a look below: 

1. Turn on two-way contact sharing 

While sharing a WhatsApp business card is an excellent way to stay top-of-mind for your prospects, you can also capture leads while sharing the cards with two-way contact sharing. This feature lets you and the recipient exchange details through the same card. To do this with Uniqode, you can turn-on the contact-sharing option when you create a card. You’ll find it in step three of the setup process under “Advanced Settings.” Once you’ve selected it, you can choose what fields/details the recipient can share. You can also turn on two-way contact sharing for all your cards by editing them again.

All recipients will see a “Share Your Contact” button below their card. When they click it, they can fill out whatever field you’ve selected.

If you wish to view the collected information, head to your dashboard’s “Contact Manager” tab.

2. Integrate your CRM  

As sales and marketing professionals, digital business cards complement your in-house CRM system. It lets you export captured contacts from the card to the CRM platform.

If you use Uniqode, you can do this using two ways, ensuring your contact data is securely handled with encryption methods;

1. Directly integrating with your company’s CRM software (primarily Salesforce). This involves:

• Copying the CRM’s “Callback URL” from your account’s Integrations menu
• Setting up a new connection from your Salesforce “App Manager” and pasting the link
• Copying the provided “Consumer Key” and “Secret”
• Pasting the link back on your Uniqode Integrations tab

1. The second way is to use Zapier to connect your Uniqode account and 700+ CRM systems, including platforms such as HubSpot, Pipedrive, and Zoho. 

3. Prioritize relevant information and social links

When creating a digital business card for WhatsApp, you must ensure it includes relevant profile data and social links. Check out this business card to understand this better. 

While this is just a template, it gives you all the necessary information to design your cards. For example, you should always include a crisp summary of your current role (for employed professionals) or your core skills (for freelancers).

Besides that, it’s best to:

• Add multiple social links to give your clients different access/contact points
• Include at least two work/demo samples that highlight your primary specialization
• Avoid any information unrelated to your work/offering
