Dialing phone extensions from the Calendar

I am trying to use the native calendar app for my corporate mail/meetings. One meeting is a conference bridge I need to dial into and I cant seem to get the soft pauses to work correctly. In the invite I have 888< Conference Number>,,1,<Bridge ID#>,# in other calendars it saw this as a string and would dial the number pause for ~4 seconds dial the bridge id number pause for 2 seconds and then press pound. On the native Samsung calendar it does not recognize the commas as pauses and will only open the conference number in the phone app. What format do I need to use for the phone to recognize this as a string and include everything past the conference number.

Don't use comas. If your entering the number in to "Contacst", tap the "symbol" key and tap "pause" which will put a 'coma' in the number, which is treated differently than actually typing a 'comma' which won't work.

Thanks for the response JoeKiv, yes using the pause when creating a contact does work but how do I embed that number into a meeting invite? Because once outside of the contact it no longer see's the comma as a pause.
