Hi everyone!

Does anyone know how to ask for a country code phone number using Instagram Chat Flow?

I would to like to ask users to select their flag before including their Whatsapp number so there’s no problem with formats and country codes…

 

Ideally, it would be:

1-Where’s your WhatsApp number from? 

Flag selection

2-What’s your number?

Input: phone number

 

Thanks

I suggest you ask for the code (via a user Input or Quick Reply), and then the phone, but store the phone in a text field.

Then, use an external request to update the user via the API and add the complete phone number.

You may need to add a validation step (using Make.com or Zapier or Google Sheets) to make sure the number entered is valid.

Thanks Gustavo! 

I thought that maybe there was a country code field to get that information pretty much straightfoward.

Thanks again!
