Clickable Phone numbers in Google Docs - hyperlink

Question

Is there a way to make phone numbers clickable in Google Docs similar to MS Word like here?
Please note that this can be done in Google Sheets using:
=HYPERLINK("tel:[phone]", "Call Me")
I am asking for Docs.
Thank you.

Answer 1

Google Docs now supports call/telephone links by adding a hyperlink with tel followed by the phone number.
Example
U.S. - tel:[phone]
Int'l - tel:[phone]
When clicking the link the browser displays a call prompt.

Unfortunately, there's no direct way of doing this, but you can use Apps Script and deploy a web application that will solve your issue.
You will have to use this script using Apps Script script editor:
function doGet(e) {
return HtmlService.createHtmlOutput("<script>window.location.href='tel:" + e.parameter.tel + "';</script>");
}
The code contains a doGet(e) function which sends an HTTP GET request and returns a new HtmlOutput object, which has as a parameter the phone number of your choice.
Afterwards, you have to deploy this script as a web application and after that, you will get a URL corresponding to it.
If you want to use it in Google Docs, you can create a link made out of the following link:
your-web-application-URL+?tel=the-phone-number-you-want .
Furthermore, here are some links for you that might be of help:
Apps Script;
