Default Phone Number Variable for Lead Collection in Instagram DM Automation
Abin S
Problem:
While collecting leads through phone numbers in DM automation, valid inputs like +91 98765 43210 fail because there is no default phone number validation or normalization.
Why this is an issue:
Users enter phone numbers in different formats
Automation fails even for valid numbers
Phone-number-based leads are lost due to formatting issues
Suggestion:
Introduce a default phone number variable with built-in validation that:
Automatically handles country codes
Ignores spaces and special characters
Accepts common user-entered formats
Impact:
This will greatly improve lead collection via DM automation and reduce user drop-offs.
Looking forward to this feature.
