Summary

This KB will help you to know how to make phone numbers clickable by creating a "click to call" link.  Once you click on the link, a call can be initiated from a Confluence page if you have the needed third party software installed and/or are accessing the page from a smart phone.

Solution

There are 2 ways to do this.

• HTML Macro
• User Macro

HTML Macro Method

• Create a page and Insert a HTML macro using Macro Browser
• If you don't see the HTML macro in Confluence, Enable all modules for "Confluence HTML Macros" plugin located under "System Add-ons" in your "Manage Add-ons" menu.
• Add the below text in the HTML macro:

  
  

  <a href="tel:+78142332211"> +7 (814) -233-22-11 </a>
