Clickable phone numbers in reports
I need to have phone numbers clickable so we can click a phone number from our phone rather than copy/pasting it. Is there a way to do this? I thought embedding some html code would be an option, but that's not working.
This is the logic I have that pulls the phone number into my report from a cell.
=[Primary First Name]1 + " " + [Primary Phone]1
I thought adding some html like <a
href="tel:123-456-7890">123-456-7890</a>
but the quotes screw up the logic.
Websites are automatically clickable so that is working by adding... + "www.google.com" + to the logic string

Hi @smartin
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!
I think it works if it's recognized on a phone number in ios, at least. I developed a mobile-first CRM for a client a couple of years ago, and if I remember correctly, I set it ups os they could click the number and even a link to start an email with the subject and message already populated.
What devices should it work on?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Thanks for your reply. I will add this feature.
It needs to work in email, iphone, android ideally. It's strange because the email addresses and webpages are automatically links in all of these devices.
