Why Use Click-to-Call Links?

Adding click-to-call links to your Waybook content helps your team:

  • Instantly connect with key people or departments

Whether you're building a company-wide contact list or designing a faster support workflow, click-to-call links improve speed, clarity, and accessibility.


How to Add a Click-to-Call Link in Waybook

Click-to-call links use the same Link tool you'll find throughout Waybook. Here's how to add one:

  1. Highlight the text you'd like to link (e.g., a person's name or direct number).

  2. Click the Link icon in the toolbar.

  3. On the Link tab, type tel: followed by the number, including the country code (e.g., tel:+14155550123).

  4. Click Apply link.

That's it! When someone clicks the link, their device will prompt them to start the call.

šŸ’” Waybook Tip

  • Use international formatting (e.g., +1 for US, +44 for UK) to ensure global compatibility

  • Avoid spaces or dashes in the number

  • Use clear labels like "Call Support" or "Contact Finance" to make links instantly actionable


Perfect for Internal Communication Hubs

Click-to-call links work great for:

  • Internal phonebooks and department directories

  • Emergency contacts and rapid-response teams
