When a visitor clicks the entity (text, header, or button) on your live site, a new empty message opens up with the mailto address field prefilled with the email address specified here. The Email client installed on the visitor's computer, such as Outlook, will be used. If the visitor has no Email client installed, the browser will try to open a web-based email service set up in the user browser settings.

Phone: Specify the phone number to call when the entity is clicked. The browser will try to call the number using one of the available web-based or desktop calling services or applications, such as Skype or Viber, depending on the browser settings. If the entity (text, header, or button) is clicked on a cell phone, the visitor will be redirected to the Phone application. The specified number will be prefilled in the Phone Number field.
