Power App Clickable Phone number

[medelmayer]

I used the template connected to SharePoint for an employee phone list.  I am tying to make the number in the list open the phone app and dial.

I have tried:

OnSelect - Launch("tel:\\" & ThisItem.Mobile)

and

Launch("tel:" & ThisItem.Mobile)

Neither seem top work.  What am I mising?

Launch("tel:" & ThisItem.Mobile) this is correct format. maybe show us the column settings for mobile in your sp list so we can try and replicate the issue.

what DOES happen when you click the number? do you receive an error

[medelmayer]

Tried that still no luck.

Here are the column settings.

Ok i created the column type you had and made a gallery

onselect of control in gallery i set to

Select(Parent);
Set(varTelly,"tel:"&ThisItem.MOBILE);
Launch(varTelly)

and this launched the phone as desired

New at this so forgive my ignorance. 

Still does not seem to work when I test.

click on that red x and share what the error it is giving you is.

also is that control there you show in the gallery? it looks more like a data card.

It's the detail screen from the main screen. I used the template so I am not sure of the difference yet.

Hi @medelmayer 

The following formula should work, so long you change the display mode property of your card to edit.

Launch("tel:" & ThisItem.Mobile)

 There are more details in this post.

Yes looks like your info is in a datacard, so check that it is set to edit as tim suggested, sorry for late reply had went to lunch

I tried the following. It worked.

launch(“tel:\\” & ThisItem.mobile)
