Adding SMS Link in Cornerstone Text Element

[bobbybosler]

Greetings,

I’m not sure if this is an issue with X, me, or my iPhone, but I am having great trouble getting the “sms:+12623558433” number url scheme to work. On this page, whenever I click the link on my iPhone, it redirects to current page’s url with “+2623558433” appended to it. It is as if the page is completely ignoring the “sms:” in the href attribute. Am I missing something?

Hi,

You can try adding //

eg. href="sms://+12623558433"

Hope that helps

I’m not sure if this is a Wordpress or an X Theme/Cornerstone thing, but I had to replace the href value using jQuery. I think the sms: was getting stripped somehow. Works now but it’s not exactly intuitive.

I’ve discovered it is an issue with Content Builder. Other protocols like tel and mailto works though. Please use a Button element instead. I tested that and it works. I’ll post this to our issue tracker.

Thanks.
