#### Common issues and notes

<details>

<summary><strong>Issue: Phone number is prefixed with 20 and cannot be reached</strong></summary>

Cause: The linked phone number contains spaces in the “tel” link. According to RFC 3966, phone numbers in the link may not contain spaces.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** Hover over the phone number. The link should look like this: ***tel:+49123456789*** (without spaces).
{% endhint %}

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Issue: Cannot make a call from Google Sheets (Google Sheets)</strong></summary>

Cause: Google interprets formulas such as =+49800... as a calculation.

**Solution:** Save the phone number as =+498003301000 Double-click the cell with the phone number and then click the sipgate logo to start the call.

</details>

**Further notes**

The extension also works with connected CRM systems (e.g. HubSpot or Salesforce), provided that phone numbers there are linked in tel: format.\
Make sure your browser allows pop-ups for sipgate so that the app can start the call.

If you have any questions or problems, please contact sipgate Support.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.sipgate.de/cloud-telefonanlage/en/using-sipgate/die-sipgate-app/wie-richte-ich-die-browser-erweiterung-in-der-sipgate-app-ein.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
