Tel: link does not work in About Us Section

Question

We have a private StatusPage for employees only. We would like to embed a telephone link to our OpsGenie number. However when entering in 555-555-5555. The tel: part is removed and we are left with 555-555-5555. This completely removes the hyperlink and adds time for our employees to contact support as they need to copy and paste the number or type manually instead of 1-click dialing. Anyone find a workaround?

Let me dig some more details, also try this out. I will also check with other folks for this behaviour.

Thank you for that page. It does show tags, but it strips out the value when there is a "tel:" reference. The list above might just be for when designing email messages with Statuspage as I have other tags not mentioned in the article such as Words working.

Strange!

I think hyper reference with 'tel' is not allowed then. Please take a look at this page if this make some sense - https://support.atlassian.com/statuspage/docs/add-html-tags-in-incident-messages/
