Hi guys,

I make a address.html page in WebViewer like this:

[address.html.txt](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/5/a56573543e075397399b154162f3d496067abebb.txt)

´´´html

 Rua Christiano Pagani, 5-38  
 Jd. Marabá - Bauru/SP  
 17047-144  
 Brazil  
   
 Phone: (14)3879-6793  
 Site: [Focus Idiomas - Bauru](https://www.focusidiomasbauru.com.br)  
 Facebook: [Focus Idiomas - Bauru](https://www.facebook.com/FocusIdiomasBauru)  
 e-mail to: [Focus Idiomas - Bauru](mailto:contato@focusidiomasbauru.com.br)  
 ´´´

the only one that worked when opening an external application was the phone …

How to open their applications?

Thanks  
André

Hi,

do you want to make sure that when you click a link in WebWiewer, the applications installed on iPhone open? As far as I understand, this is impossible. You can use a deep link to open the installed application (if such an application link exists).

Does this solution work on Android too?

Currently, I prefer to use Thunkable X only for iOS and can not say if it works for Android.

Hi again,

On Android 7.0 the App open phone dial if in Webviewer you make a html code:  
´´´html Phone: ´\<ahref="(XX)XXXX-XXXX"\> (XX)XXXX-XXXX\<br´\>´´´

and e-mail link open email App  
´´´html e-mail to: ´\<ahref=“mailto:abc@def.ghi.jk”\> abc - def \<br´\>´´´

PS1: but your app must actually be installed  
PS2: where you see **“ahref”** must be **"a href"**

Thanks

André
