Hi 😀

 

Is there a way to offer a telephone number via WhatsApp automation besides giving it as a text (like a button with a CTA)?

 

thanks

@andremoura there isn't an option for a 'Call' button CTA in Whatsapp unfortunately.

What I've done is to create a link that goes to a page on my server, and redirect that link to a tel:+<phone>, which triggers the call option.

Some URL shorteners also allow you to create a short link with a tel URL (this one for example)

Hope this helps!
