Add Telephone Hotspot to your Simplebooklet

A telephone hotspot lets users click on a part of your Simplebooklet to automatically dial a phone number. This is perfect for contact pages or any situation where you want to make it easy for viewers to call you directly. Here's how to set up a telephone hotspot:

Available on all plans.

How to Add a Telephone Hotspot to your Simplebooklet

Open your Dashboard and scroll to the Simplebooklet you want to add a link hotspot to.

Click the Edit tab.

Select the page where you want to add the hotspot.

In the left-hand toolbar, click the Hotspot button.

From the drop-down menu, select Telephone.

Enter the Telephone Number you want to link to in the provided field.

Once you're satisfied with the details you've entered, click the Save button. Your hotspot will now be added to the page.

Click on the hotspot to resize and reposition it using the Element Editor.

In the Edit Tab, your hotspot will appear with orange outlines and icons. However, once you preview your booklet or share it, viewers will not see these orange outlines or icons. The hotspot will still be interactive, but the visual indicators will be hidden. These hotspots will briefly flash when the page is first opened to help viewers identify them as clickable, but the outlines will not remain visible. To make the clickable areas more obvious, consider adding an icon or website text below your hotspot to signal to users that it's a clickable link.

Preview your booklet to ensure that everything works as expected.

Your telephone hotspot is now added and ready to be interacted with!

If you want to change any settings for your hotspot later, just click on the small orange box to the left of the hotspot. This will allow you to access the settings and make any necessary adjustments
