A phone number in the signature needs to be able to be detected and linked to the phone app when clicked.

It is maddening that flight calendar entries do not include the booking number. Google does this. You have the data scraped as it is a field included in the new reminder emails. I expect to be able to open my calendar click on the flight, easily copy the PNR to clipboard, then check-in seemlessly on my device. As a frequent flyer this is very frustrating and keeps me using Google Calendar in conjunction with outlook.I don't want to have to dig through many emails to find the reference I need, especially as the search function is poor.

I use a signature in the gmail which does not work in the outlook app. I made three simple hyperlinks that open up respective apps after recognizing the tags.
Phone | Email | LinkedIn
each of which has links as "tel:+91-XXXXXXXXXX", "mailto:abc@gmail.com" and "www.linkedin.com"
makes it easier for the user to click on the respective hyperlink, without making the signatures a long signature.

This should be at the top of the list! I'm not sure how you call yourself an email app and don't have this feature.

Click to dial is absolutely necessary. This is a standard feature on IOS mail and Gmail. Absolutely necessary for our business.
Without this feature, what should take 2 clicks to dial a number in an email signature, the user is forced to click 10+ times!
1) Click Hold,
2) Press Select,
3) Select Drag Left,
4) Select Drag Right,
5) COPY,
6) Home Screen,
7) Phone Dial,
8) Dial Button,
9) Click Hold,
10) Paste Number,
11) Dial Button. -

Need to detect the entire phone number in all areas, location doesn't detect it. Also when it does detect a phone or should include any other details with it, such as, (999) 555-1234,,1234567#. This all should be sent to the phone.

Also needs to see the tone options if associated to a phone number like pauses.

phone numbers in the location of a meeting need to be hyperlinked to open the phone app. right now I need to use another program so I can easily click to dial conference numbers.
