Ability for phone extensions in call button #60

Open amgeronimo opened 2 years ago

amgeronimo commented 2 years ago

I would like to add the ability to include an extension on the research assistant's phone number. Not sure about compatibility across cellphones, but with my android, i can enter a 10 digit number, comma, and 6 digit extension, and it will autodial the extension after a short pause.

example entry in phone # prompt: XXXXXXXXXX,YYYYYY

Is it possible for this to be integrated into the Android (and iOS!) apps?

That format is technically a standard, so it should be fine if such a feature is added on either app. Field input may be weird due to the need for a comma as a typeable character, so it would probably need to be a separate, optional text field.

(I might shift this to the backend repo as this covers both apps.)
