Phone validation

Hey there! I would like to know if someone in the room has used ever some phone validation system integrated wit Hubspot. What I need is: once the users has submitted a form, know if the phone number they submitted is real or no. I mean, I know that with tools like Numverify you can validate the phone before the contact submitted the form. But what I would like to do is even the contact submits a false number let it in, and once the contact is created in Hubspot know if that phone number is true or false. 

 

I´ve tried with these but none worked:

@David_Factorial I need to find a phone validation tool for the same purpose you described.

Did you find a good tool?

Thanks,

@David_Factorial 

I can think of a couple ways to use Numverify off the top of my head

1. Have a hidden field on the form with a boolean.  Basically, is the number real?  true or false.  Before submitting the form, use numverify to validate.  Set the boolean value accordingly and then submit.

pros:  simplest set up

cons:  dependent on the speed of the lookup.  Might be a slow submit (never used the API so I do not know how quickly it works)

 

2.  Create a webhook that looks for new or updated phone numbers.  When it is triggered, run numverify to validate the number.  Could use the same boolean as above to set tru false. 

pro:  no waiting for form submission

con:  will need to create an external app.

 

@Bryantworks  is a smarter person than I.  He probably has a better suggestion 😀
