Link format in list block

Hi,

I’m new to Softr and coming from Glide. Trying to get used to the platform.

Currently building a CRM. I want to be able to click on a phone number on a list block and to open a urlscheme like this that opens another app: openphone://dial?number=”insert phone number here”

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but it doesn’t want to open. I tried url field, doesn’t open, I tried rich text formatting, doesn’t open. The only way it opens is when the list component is created via the vibecoding block.

Any tips?

I haven’t tested this for you to confirm at this time, but I recall the same issue a couple of years ago when I needed to do something similar.

You may want to try various URL strings created by a formula field that is referenced by a Softr field type: embed

The Facetime URL schema is helpful in terms of options you could explore. From memory, I think I ended up with the inline HTML option working well

(e.g. <a href="facetime:14085551234">Connect using FaceTime</a>)

Thanks! Got it working with embed HTML
