Open phone call popup

The "Open Phone Call Pop-Up" action is a feature that allows users to initiate a phone call directly from within the app.

What is it?

The "Open Phone Call Pop-Up" action opens the device's default phone dialer with a specified phone number pre-filled, ready for the user to confirm and place the call.

This functionality is particularly useful for apps that require quick access to phone calls, such as customer support or service-based applications.

How it works

When you enable the action to the Record View, there is a menu of action buttons added to the bottom bar of the record view.

When you configure the settings for this action, you pre-define the phone number to call.

When the "Open Phone Call Pop-Up" action is triggered, the local phone dialer is open being populated with the phone number. The user can then simply tap the call button to initiate the call.

Add the action

  • From the Design tab, in the Tables section of the left sidebar, click on the Record view of any table.

  • Go to the Action section on the right sidebar, and click the + button.

  • Enter the name and icon for the action button, then click Configure...

  • Click + Then... and choose Open phone call popup.

Configure the action

Once the action is added, in the phone number field, enter the number you want the user to call.

For the pre-defined value of the phone number, you can:

  • Power Fx: Get the phone number based on a condition set with the PowerFX formula.

  • Custom: Enter a specific phone number.

  • Row Data: Choose a column that contains the phone number for each record.

  • User: Get the information of current users as the default phone number to call

Require confirmation

Requiring a confirmation on the execution of the action can give users the chance to reconsider and avoid accidental taps.

You can also customize the confirmation message or use the default one.

Completion

In the settings of completion, you will configure

  • The message on succession to your users can be a way to communicate as well as engage with your users, elevating the user experience with your app.

  • Checkbox to enable the Confetti interaction like a celebration for the succession, making the experience more fun and rewarding.
