Alternative redirect links (tel:, mailto:, sms:, callto:)

TABLE OF CONTENT

Alternative links redirect users on mobile devices to phone calls, open the default email client, or activate a new SMS. This guide will walk you through adding alternative links to widgets such as buttons, texts, images, and icons.

TIP: You can hide an alternative link on the desktop view and show it only on the mobile view.

Alternative links

Some alternative links you can add to your landing page:

  • tel:+01333444555
    • link redirecting to a phone call when the user accesses the page on a mobile device. When the user displays the page on a computer, the link will open Skype.  (Add a phone number as a link in the following format tel:+00111222333)
  • mailto:name@email.com
    • link redirecting to a new email message (add an email address as a link in the following format mailto:example@address.com). See how to add link extesions.
  • sms:+01333444555
    • link redirecting to a new SMS (add a phone number as a link in the following format sms:+00111222333)
  • callto:+01333444555 or callto:username
    • link redirecting to a Skype call (add a phone number or Skype username as a link in the following format callto:+00111222333 or callto:SkypeUserName)

Every link can be added to buttons, texts, icons, and images. Once the user clicks such a widget, they will be redirected immediately to a phone call, email message, or SMS app.
