Phone
A database property in Notion for storing and formatting telephone numbers with click-to-call support and consistent styling.
Definition
The Phone property in Notion is a specialized database field designed to store telephone numbers. It formats numbers consistently, supports international dialing codes, and makes entries easy to read and click on mobile devices.
Usage & Context
To use it, add a new property to any database and select “Phone” as the type. Each record then includes a phone field where you can enter numbers; Notion will auto-format entries. You can view and edit these fields in any database view—tables, lists, galleries—or include them in templates for CRM, directories, or customer-service logs.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I add a Phone property to a database?
- Open your database, click the “+ Add a property” button, choose “Phone” from the list, and give it a name.
- Does Notion validate phone numbers?
- Notion formats phone entries consistently but does not enforce strict validation; it’s recommended to double-check numbers for accuracy.
- Can I click the phone number to call?
- Yes. On mobile devices and supported desktop apps, clicking a phone number opens your default dialer or calling app.
- Can I filter or sort by the Phone property?
- You can filter records where the Phone field is empty or not empty, but Notion does not support numeric comparisons on phone fields for sorting.
