Click-to-Call, Text and Email Links and Buttons
A tap can open your visitor's phone dialer, messaging app or email program with your details already filled in. It removes friction, especially on mobile.
Text links
- Highlight the text in the builder and click the link icon.
- Enter tel:+1234567890 for calls, or mailto:name@example.com for email.
- Save and test on a phone.
Buttons
- Select the button and scroll to Button Actions.
- Open the Link To dropdown and choose Call, SMS or Email.
- Enter the phone number or email address.
- Save and test.
Images and icons
The same link formats work on images and icons, which is useful for a phone icon in a header.
Good practice
- One link does one thing. Add separate buttons if you want to offer calling and texting.
- Devices without the feature may do nothing, for example a desktop computer with no SMS app. Show your number or address as plain text too.
- Use country codes in phone numbers so they dial correctly.
Tracking taps
To measure clicks or start a follow-up, use a trigger link. When someone clicks, a Workflow can tag the Contact, send a message or notify your team.
Good to know: Test every click-to link on both iPhone and Android before launching a campaign.
