I have a zap which sends me details for leads from a Google Sheet to slack. However the phone numbers are not clickable which makes it hard to call the leads.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Ethan Proenca 

To make a phone number clickable in a Slack message, you can use the following format:

```
<tel:+1234567890|Call Us>
```

Here’s a breakdown:
- `tel:+1234567890` is the phone number. Replace `+1234567890` with the actual number you want to be clickable.
- `Call Us` is the text that will be displayed in the Slack message.

When a user clicks on this link, it will open their default phone app to dial the number.

That worked thanks!

I assume if I remove the “|Call us” it will display only the number as clickable right?

You can change the “Call Us” to be anything, but a value needs to be present, even if it’s the phone number again.
