How to Add a Call Button to a Newsletter
Sometimes it is useful to include a link in newsletters that allows recipients to make a phone call with a single click. This feature can be especially valuable for marketing campaigns, customer support, or any situation where you want to facilitate direct contact with your company. Next, we show you how to configure these types of links in your newsletters.
From the Icomm Editor it is possible to create a newsletter that contains a button to redirect users to make a phone call. When creating the part, you can add a button and customize the link.
Add the button
Include in the piece the button that will take users to make a call.
Customize the button
In the URL field, enter the prefix "tel:" followed by the country code, area code, and phone number you want the call to be placed to.
Example: tel:541112345678 (for a number in Argentina)
Once the part is approved, send it. Users who click on the button will be redirected to the phone number to make the call.
It is also possible to add the link for calls to a newsletter created from HTML. To do this, you must include the label with the link corresponding to the phone number to which you want to redirect users.
In the HTML code of your newsletter, add the following link tag:
<a href="tel:PhoneNumber">Text to Display</a>
Replace "PhoneNumber" with the number you want the call to be placed, including the country and area code.
Example: <a href="tel:541112345678">Call us now</a>
- Make sure you include the country and area code in the phone number so it works correctly in any location.
- This function will only work on devices capable of making phone calls (mobile phones, tablets, etc.). On desktop devices, the default calling app may open.
- Some email clients may block or disable this feature for security reasons.
