Forms and Mobile Phones - initiating a phone call by clicking a button on the form

asked on August 27, 2021

You know how some websites have links where you can click and immediately cause your mobile phone to dial the number there?  Like when you Google a business name and you come across the Call Now button for that business.

Can this be done from a Laserfiche Form?  Even if its through a link on the form to a browser page that has an org's safety related emergency numbers programmed?  Anyone know how to set this up?

You could do that but you could just as easily add a custom HTML field directly to your form that has the 'CLICK TO CALL' hyperlink in it. 

If you are set on using a button instead of a hyperlink you can  run some code in the button onClick event to do the same thing (depending on your Forms environment).

Connie,

It is standard HTML5 but is browser dependent as each browser implements the standard a little bit differently. 

The basic format for the hyperlink is <a href="tel:123-456-7890">CLICK TO CALL</a>

Thanks, Cliff.  And basically, I'm thinking that I would have to do this by providing a link to a webpage where I've created these hyperlinks for them to use, right?  It wouldn't be just a button directly on the form itself?
