When entering a phone number into the notes field, the number automatically becomes a link to the phone application.
Just add a phone number to the notes field of a call task and the call can be made directly from the application. When the call is finished, OmniFocus boots back up.
This also works for synced tasks. In other words a phone number entered in a note field of the computer version of OmniFocus, will automatically convert to a phone link upon syncing.
This can be useful, for example, when you plan on making a series of phone calls away from the computer.
It’s really great that people are sharing this information.
I enter numbers in the notes field in OF on iOS and they don’t seem to be clickable. What am I doing wrong?
Ok – that’s an “oops”. If I click and hold (iphone 6s+) then it selects the whole no and pops up offering call, message, facetime. So it’s click and hold, not a straight click.
Move on, nothing to see here, move on …
