Touch to call phone numbers in mobile app

Updated March 28, 2018
asked on December 19, 2017 • Show version history

Anyone ever been able to create a touch to call link on a form that works with the LF App? I am trying the recommended HTML tag for this and it tries to open it as a standard link instead of passing over to the phone app. Maybe this is only supported by internet browsers?

<a href=”tel:+14123815500″>1 (412) 381-5500</a>

The need is to have a telephone field copied to a touch to call link, so that they can call with 1 touch from the form without having to memorize the number.

I'm not sure if that causes it, but at least one of your double quotes is a Word smart quote, not a standard double quote character.

It came over that way when copy pasting from the site that recommended it. But in the javascript I am using the standard double quote character.

It just seems the tel: command is not recognized and it tries to treat it as a http: command
