I’m looking for a way to add a “Call Now” functionality to an email. I’ve tried adding “tel:6158657885” in a URL category on a button, but that does not work. Any suggestions?

Hi @TopherDavison,

I’m experiencing the same on my end, the button’s in the drag and drop email editor don’t seem to support tel-links. (I’m also a bit surprised that this functionality is missing here.)

If you’re on a Marketing or CMS Hub Professional or Enterprise subscription, this can be done with the CTA tool, see here: [Add a click-to-call link to a CTA](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/website-pages/create-a-click-to-call-or-mailto-link#add-a-click-to-call-link-to-a-cta)

Alternatively, you’d have to code your own HTML button and add it via a rich text module, or use a [text-based CTA](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/website-pages/create-a-click-to-call-or-mailto-link#add-a-click-to-call-link-to-a-rich-text-module).

Best regards!

A year on and I am having difficulty wtih this as well. I am currently on a free plan. Is this feature only available on a paid subscription?

I’ve been needing this for a few years now. This is BASIC. How is this not patched or fixed yet?
