Is there a command to start a WhatsApp conversation instead a phone call?

I'd prefer to have contact via WhatsApp instead clients calling me. Is there a command like href="tel:..." but for start a WhatsApp conversation? Thanks!

I did not know how to do this. But I did a search and found this:

href="intent://send/[countrycode_without_plus][number]#Intent;scheme=smsto;package=com.whatsapp;action=android.intent.action.SENDTO;end``` 
This is an example:

href="intent://send/0123456789#Intent;scheme=smsto;package=com.whatsapp;action=android.intent.action.SENDTO;end" ```
