Linking a phone number into a table.

[CooperCMR]

Hi all, this may seem like a dumb question but I want to have a phone number link in my table so when users have it on their phone they can press the number and call straight away. I know it’s possible because I had it before but somehow changed it and cannot for the life of me figure out how to change it back. If it helps, I’m getting my data from google sheets. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi there. I’m not sure if this can be done out of the box, but I would suggest using a formula field to create some kind of hyperlink that you can use in Softr as an embed field.

@acjnas do you know if any code exists for this already?

Yes that can be done in the backend, but I must say I am airtable user, but it may work similar with Gsheets.

In airtable you place a formula field nex to the phone number column and add a formula like:

CONCATENATE(
    "<a href='tel:", {phone}, "'>", {phone}, "</a>"
)

Then in softr you add a field type ‘embed’ and map that field to your list details block.

The experience will look something like:
