Event Reference (v1) / Phone Events
Phone Link Click / phone_link_click
Measures when a user clicks a link that uses the href="tel:" protocol URL scheme to initiate a phone call from a link click.
Be aware, this event does NOT measure an actual phone call. Browsers do not have a native API to detect if a call was made from a link click. This event only measures the click itself, not anything afterward.
Redact the href value to only include the last 4 numbers in the event property. Google and other platforms have strict policies about sending personally identifiable information (PII) in event data. Even though the on-page click-to-call phone number isn't PII - Google, Meta and other platforms will flag anything that LOOKS like PII and possibly shut down the account as a result.
