Use cases and examples

• Clients table: Store each client's phone number to use in automations, such as generating a direct link to open a WhatsApp conversation.

• Employees table: Record employee phone numbers for internal contact and HR workflows.

Keep in mind

• The field only accepts numbers: it does not accept letters or special characters typed manually.

• It does not send messages or make calls directly: it stores the number, which can then be used in automations.

FAQ

1- Can I use the Phone Number field to send WhatsApp messages automatically?

Not directly. The field stores the number, and you can use it in an automation to generate a WhatsApp link or trigger a message via an integrated tool.

2- Does the field accept international phone numbers?

Yes, you can enter international numbers, but the field does not automatically apply country code formatting. You'll need to enter the number in a consistent format manually.

3- What happens if someone tries to type letters into a Phone Number field?

The field only accepts numeric input, so non-numeric characters are not allowed.

Yes. When creating or editing the field, toggle the Required field option so users must fill it in before saving a record.
