With the Selzy builder, you can configure the way to allow subscribers to call you directly from the received newsletter without the necessity to copy the phone number before the call. Let's look at how to add a link to your phone number as a number, text, button, or icon.

Place the cursor on the place in the text where you want to add your phone number, and select Insert/edit link.

We added a link to the phone number in the email. Now the customer can quickly dial your number by clicking on the word, button, picture or phone number in the text. The link will open the phone app with the number already entered in it, you just need to press the call button.

As a rule, you can only call from your own device and only few users have a call app installed on their computer, so it is better to hide the block with a link to the phone number for PC users. To do this, select the block that you want to hide, and choose "hide — PC" in the block properties. With these settings, the block will only be displayed on phones.
