Phone

The phone column stores a phone number with a relevant country code.

Check out our help center to learn more about the phone column.

Reading the phone column

You can return the data in a phone column in two different formats. The text field will return the data as a simple string, and the value field will return the data as a JSON string.

Here is an example payload showing both fields:

{
  "text": "1123456789",
  "value": "{\"phone\":\"1123456789\",\"changed_at\":\"2022-07-21T12:00:00.000Z\",\"countryShortName\":\"US\"}"
}

Updating the phone column

You can update a phone column with both a simple string and a JSON string.

Simple strings

To update a phone column value, send just the phone number digits and the ISO-2 country code (a two-letter code) as a string. Make sure to separate the phone number and country short code with a space.

You can see the list of available countries here.

For example: "19175998722 US"

JSON

To update a phone column, send just the phone number digits in the "phone" field, and the ISO-2 country code (a two-letter code) in the "countryShortName" field.

You can see the list of available countries here.

For example: "{\"phone\":\"11231234567\",\"countryShortName\":\"US\"}"

🚧

You will receive an error if you do not use capital letters for the 2-letter country code.
