I have a survey that uses a form to collect First Name, Last Name and Phone Number. I've added validation to the last field to be sure I receive all 10 digits. That information then populates a contact list that I want to use for SMS distribution of other surveys. However, when I try to send an SMS message to the individuals in that contact list, the messages fail because the phone number is missing the country code. When I manually add a "1" in front of the area code in the contact list, the message are successfully delivered. If I ask the survey participant to enter the "1" the validation fails because there are too many numbers. Is there a secret to getting the country code in the contact list automatically?

Okay, sorry. I had forgotten how I set this up. The 1 is saved in the data of the survey. Look at the Survey Flow. You will see that I added an embedded data field to concatenate the 1 onto the phone field from the form. That embedded data field then gets called in your Contact List Trigger rather than the form question field.

Instead of passing the form field, you could pass an embedded data field that adds the 1 to the phone number.Survey Flow- Survey Block- Embedded Data, FormattedPhone = 1{piped code for phone field}- Contact list trigger set your phone variable to the embedded variable FormattedPhone field

I want to collect the Country Code in a Contact List. Anyone found how to do that?
