  • If you do not enter a country code in {{countryCode}}, the phone number will be transferred without the code. Masks work for any countries.
  • If you enter country code, all # characters will be replaced by phone number digits with the code according to the selected mask.

After configuring a tool, open the next step settings. In our example the next step is a CRM system.
