Hi @Julia.LiMarzi, this is a great tip and I’ve just used it in an email. However, is there a way to track if this link is clicked? 

Thanks!

Hello @wernstrom,

Great question!

Klaviyo can only track how many people clicked on a link if the link goes to a webpage. This is because Klaviyo tracks clicks via the _ke parameter that Klaviyo automatically appends at the end of URL links. Since this function does not redirect users a website but instead provide an action, clicking on this tel: function would not be tracked in Klaviyo’s link activity. 

Thanks for being a member of the Klaviyo Community!

Thanks for clarifying @david.to, appreciate it!

This is not working for me. I typed in the phone number exactly as shown above in the first post example. Then hit Save. When I come back into the Button Block, the field has changed to “tel://+1234567890” (but my number), it adds //. When I test this, the button breaks in Outlook. I have tried in Chrome and Firefox, any assistance would be helpful. 

Thanks! 

Hello @Tyler,

Despite the change in your button block’s URL link which adds the “//”; this should not hinder the feature which would automatically launch your default phone app or software (on desktop) to make a call to the listed number. One thing to keep in mind though is that the capability of this function is highly dependent on the the email client and device you are working on. Campaign Monitor has a great write up in their following blog: Email, Phone Home: Initiating Voice Calls from HTML Email Newsletters.

As detailed in the blog, for example if you were viewing the email from an IPhone, unless you were using the default Apple Mail App, this function would not be available. I’ve also included the chart that helps explain this below for your convenience:

I hope this helps!

Hi. is there a way to link Australian numbers? I can’t seem to get it to work either way 

Hi @maddie_wd,

This should still be working for you. However, the issue could very well boil down to the platform being used (in reference to David’s chart above).

With that said, can you share a screenshot of the anchor tag you’re using? And also a screenshot of the button URL. 

Hi! This code doesn't work in a iOS mobiles, in mi iphone 12 pro max, don't work. I need make another steps or something is wrong with my phone? Because i try in a android device, and this link work.

Hi all - chiming in on this, I just did this for my clients’ email and it is not working on my iphone - can anyone help? I have used tel: before in other applications and even double-checked what’s up top but it still is not working.

Hi @chelsgrove,

Can you confirm if you were viewing the email using the default Apple Mail App? It will not work unless you use the default app. This functionality is highly dependent on the the email client and device you are working on.

I hope that’s helpful.

Is there a work around to add a phone call link to Gmail for iphone users?
