When you want to post the contact details of a department or person to your app, the best way to do so is to choose the Contact content type. This allows you to post contact details where the user can tap on the Phone and Email buttons to call or email from your app - opening their phone's dialler or default email app to do so.

For example, you may have a list in your app called 'Useful Contacts'. Inside your list, press the + icon then choose Contact:

Add Contact

As usual, the first thing you'll want to do is give your Contact a Title - usually the name of the person or department. Then use the Appearance tab of your Contact to give it a relevant featured image

You can now fill in all of the relevant contact details in the fields provided. If you enter separate phone numbers in the Telephone and Mobile fields, the user will be asked which number they want to dial when they press the Phone option when looking at this Contact in your app. 

If you enter an Email Address in the Email field, the user's default email app will open with this address pre-filled in the 'To' field when they press the Email button on this Contact in your app.

Contact Details

Adding a Contact in this way, displays in your app like the following example:
