Phone Component
Camila Escobar · June 17, 2026
The Phone component gives someone a country selector and a number field, so the country code is picked rather than typed.
Use it wherever you will later call or message the person: contact numbers, WhatsApp-reachable lines, support callbacks.
Settings
Setting | Effect |
Label | The question shown above the field |
Default country | Which flag and code the field opens on |
Required | The form will not submit while the field is empty |
Set the default country to wherever most of your respondents are. It is the single change that removes the most friction, because the majority then never touch the selector.
The trap
A Phone value is not validated. The component shapes what people type and stores the number, but it does not guarantee the result is a real, reachable number — the underlying Phone column accepts any text up to 20 characters. A typo passes.
If a number has to be correct before you act on it, verify it after submission: send a code, or check it against your provider in an automation. Do not assume the field did it for you.
Twenty characters is also a real ceiling. An international number with a country code fits comfortably; a number with an extension appended may not. Put extensions in their own field.
