✨ 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

  1. Open the widget where you want the link.

  2. Click the Dynamic Tags icon next to the Link field.

  3. Select Contact URL from the dropdown.

  4. Choose the action type (e.g., Email, WhatsApp, Calendar).

  5. Enter required information:

    • For Email: address, subject line, message content.

    • For Phone/SMS/WhatsApp/Viber: phone number (in international format).

    • For Skype: Skype ID and desired action.

    • For Messenger: Facebook username.

    • For Waze: Destination address.

    • For Calendar: Title, description, time, and location of the event.

Once complete, clicking the link will automatically launch the appropriate service with the prefilled information.


🚀 Why Use It

  • Makes your site more interactive and user-friendly.

  • Eliminates friction—users don’t have to copy-paste details or switch apps manually.

  • Works across devices (desktop, mobile, tablet).

  • Perfect for streamlining communication, booking, support, or navigation.


✅ Tips for Best Results

  • Always use international format for phone numbers (e.g., +91… or +1…).

  • For email actions, pre-fill the subject and body for higher engagement.

  • In calendar links, provide all essential details to make event creation effortless.

  • Test each action on multiple devices to ensure compatibility.
