2. Locate the applicable number in Salesforce or Gmail.
3. Click the applicable phone number to initiate the call.
   Note: Numbers associated with a Prospect displays the Prospect's name in the call bar. Numbers not associated with a Prospect display the number only.

Troubleshooting

If you cannot click to dial, the phone number is likely not a 'TEL' Link. There are several different ways to check whether a phone number is formatted as a 'TEL' link:

1. When hovering over a TEL link, look at the left hand corner of Google Chrome. You should see something like "tel:XXX-XXX-XXXX" to indicate that this is a properly formatted link.
2. Right click on the phone number using Google Chrome and select "Inspect". You should see a highlight of <a href = "tel:XXX-XXX-XXXX" to indicate this is a properly formatted tel link.
