Format phone number to add country code

解決

Is there a way to add a format workflow to automatically convert a phone number to add a country code? I use Hubspot to call a lot but our third party systems only collect the phone number without country code, which Hubspot requires to validate it and ring it.

Hi @JoeFromPinch,

 

Then it depends on how your phone numbers are formatted exactly. In Germany, for example, numbers without country code start with a 0. That 0 is removed when the country code is dialed.

 

E.g. 030 1234567 would turn into +49 30 1234567

 

I could achieve that with the workflow below:

Hi @JoeFromPinch,

 

Which HubSpot subscription are you on? In Operations Hub Professional, you can use the Format data workflow action to change the formatting of your phone number and add a country code at the beginning.

 

Without Operations Hub Professional, you'd have to look into third-party tools such as Insycle. (If upgrading to Operations Hub Professional is an option, let me know and I can share more use cases that can be easily implemented in this hub and improve data quality.)

I do have Ops Hub professional. I tried to use the Format data workflow but I couldn't figure out exactly what to do with it.

Hi @JoeFromPinch,

 

That depends on where the information about the country code lives. Do you have that in a separate property? What would determine which country code is added at the beginning of a phone number?

All our numbers are in the same country. So I need to just insert the same number every time.

Hi @teloss79,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community!

Here are some resources that might be of interest as well:

@karstenkoehler thank you for your help!

Could you please explain how the workflow you suggested would work with additional "0" within the phone number to help @teloss79, please?

Thanks a lot!

Have a great day!

Best,
Bérangère

Wouldn't this workflow also replace 0 inside of the Phone numbers?
So if you have a phone number which goes like this:
01573099230

Would the workflow not replace all 0s with +49? 
Which would get you the result of:
+491573+499923+49

Hi @JoeFromPinch,

 

Happy to help. Make sure to test this first by copying the formatted phone number into another custom property. Search and replace actions can be hard to clean up if you're doing something wrong (e.g. searching all space characters in a word document and replacing them with nothing).

 

When everything looks good in the test property, you can unleash your workflow on the actual thing.
