When you create a phone number box on instagram automation by default is set to create a +1 code (US) does anyone knows how to change that? or how can i manually change the phone number of contacts

This is something that Manychat should change, the option to change the default country code, but as usual they don´t care. The only way to change the phone number of a contact is using the app, you have to select the contact and then click to edit the phone number and change the country code that you desire.

It's a pain in the ass in all the senses, you can't use the desktop and can´t define the default country code. I'm searching for an alternative to Manychat and will leave soon if Manychat continues ignoring its costumers.

Still no update on this?

Im collecting lots of phone through instagram. Customer sends area code + phone number. Example: 21999999999.
When the number is stored in the contact card, manychat adds the “+” to the number. So it goes like +21999999999.

The problem is: this number is incomplete. I need the coutnry code to come first (in my case, +5521999999999).

Without the correct country code, even if i manually correct the contact’s phone number later, the “Whatsapp Opt-in” won’t be available, which means i can’t contact those customers via Whatsapp.
 

This sucks!
