Hi,

I am using the action block set to make a phone call which is linked to a phone number. However, on an iPhone, it takes me to a new blank screen to make the call. Is there a way to stop this so that the call prompt of the bottom of the screen sits over the main screen?

Here… try this in a rich text component

```auto
<a href="tel:+12345678987" style="text-decoration: none !important;">
  <div style="
    padding: .75rem;
    background-color: green;
    color: white;
    border-radius: .55rem;
    text-align: center;
    width: 100%;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    cursor: pointer;
  ">
    <b>Click to Call</b>
  </div>
</a>

```

You’re welcome. I think for email I would default to using Glides native actions. Something like Compose Email or Share Link.

You can add actions to rich text components if you want to style it like the first button.

Or if those suggestions don’t work do you have an example of what you’re looking for?

Hope this helps!
