Looking forward to your response.

I have a workflow where I receive information from a website chat widget (the widget is from Charla). I have already completed the process of storing all the information I receive in Bravo.

However, I also receive a mobile number from the widget. I need to validate whether the number is valid and whether it contains a country code. If it does not contain a country code, I need to add one.

How can I do this?

Hi Kamlesh,

You can validate and format the mobile number using Text Formatter by Pabbly along with Filter or Router steps before sending the data to Bravo.

Here is the step-by-step workflow setup:

Step 1: Extract Digits (Clean the Input)

1. Add an action step right after your Charla trigger: Text Formatter by Pabbly.

2. Select Action Event: Extract Numbers or Replace Text (to remove any spaces, dashes, or non-numeric characters).

3. Map the phone number field received from Charla.

Step 2: Check Number Length or Country Code

Add a Router by Pabbly (or Filter by Pabbly) to handle numbers with and without a country code:

• Route 1 (Missing Country Code):

  • Condition: If the character length of the extracted number equals 10 (or doesn't start with +).

  • Action: Append your default country code (e.g., +91 or +1) directly before the mapped number field in your next step (e.g., +91{{extracted_number}}).

• Route 2 (Already Has Country Code):

  • Condition: If the character length is greater than 10 (or starts with +).

  • Action: Pass the phone number as is.

Step 3: Save to Bravo

Map the final formatted phone number output into your Bravo action step.
