CMS Request: Adding a Phone Number Field Type in Collections
Collecting votes
Currently, CMS (Content Management System) collections do not have a field type used specifically for phone numbers.
This feature would allow you to store phone numbers in your collection in the same format in which they are submitted by users. You would be able to reject improperly formatted phone numbers and account for country codes. You could display the phone numbers on dynamic pages and allow visitors to click to call them.
Workarounds:
- To create dynamic links that visitors can click to call: Create a URL field type in your collection for storing the phone numbers. Then, add the phone numbers to the field with tel: at the beginning each phone number (e.g. tel:4155555555). Lastly, link a button or image to a dataset that connects to this URL field. When visitors click the link from a device that can make phone calls, the phone number is called.
- To store phone numbers submitted through custom CMS forms: You can use the text input element set to collect phone numbers. Then, connect it to a 'Text', 'Number', or 'URL' field type in your collection where you will store the phone numbers.
