✨ What It Does
The Dynamic Contact URL feature in Elementor Pro allows you to turn standard links into smart, interactive actions. Instead of redirecting users to another webpage, these links trigger external apps or services—such as opening a phone dialer, launching a chat app, or creating a calendar event.
🔧 Where You Can Use It
This feature is available in any Elementor widget that includes a Link field—such as buttons, icons, or images. You simply access the dynamic tag option inside the link field, choose Contact URL, and configure the specific action you want the link to perform.
🔗 Supported Action Types
You can configure links to trigger the following actions:
Email – Opens a new email with predefined recipient, subject, and message.
Phone Call (Tel) – Initiates a phone call when clicked (on supported devices).
SMS – Opens a text messaging app with the message field prefilled.
WhatsApp – Starts a chat with a specified number.
Skype – Offers multiple actions: call, chat, show profile, or voicemail.
Messenger – Opens a Facebook Messenger chat with a designated username.
Viber – Launches a chat window or adds a contact in the Viber app.
Waze – Starts navigation to a specified address using the Waze app.
Calendar (Google, Outlook, Yahoo) – Creates a new event with predefined details such as title, location, description, and time.
🛠️ How to Set It Up
Open the widget where you want the link.
Click the Dynamic Tags icon next to the Link field.
