How to make direct calls from Articulate Rise

Nov 07, 2023

Hi,

I am building a resource that will have information on contacts available to our service users while our service is closed during Xmas.  I would like to give the ability to click on a telephone number and make a direct call from Rise rather than copy and paste.  I have tried to add a tel:xxxxxxxxxx within a hyperlink but this doesn't work.  Is there a way to do this that other members have managed?

Hi there, thanks for your question! While I don't know of a way to hyperlink text to a phone number, you can link a button to a phone number! 

Edit the button, and choose Destination: Link to a relative URL. In the link field, type tel:5551234567

I would recommend typing the phone number in the button label to encourage learners to tap the button from their mobile devices. 

 

 

Here's a screenshot of what it looks like to tap the button from an iPhone. I hope this helps you!
