What's new?
The test phone number field in the Send SMS action now uses the standard phone input with a country flag picker, the same one you see elsewhere in the app. Type your number the way you dial it and the test sends. The old "please add country codes" hint is gone, and the error text is now just "Invalid phone number".
How it works
The picker sits in front of the field and defaults to your account's country. Whatever flag is selected, the number is saved in full international format before the test goes out, so the country is always known. Click the flag to open the list and search by country name or dialing code to switch it.
How to use it
- Open the Send SMS action in your workflow and scroll to Test Phone Number.
- Leave the flag on your account's country, or click it and pick another.
- Type the number in local format and click Send test SMS.
Why we built it
Most people type their own number the way they dial it, without a country code. That failed every time and gave an error that read like the number itself was wrong, so a quick test turned into a guessing game about formatting.
Simple examples
An account on an India account types 9089786755 to test a reminder SMS. The picker already shows the India flag, so the test sends to +919089786755.
The same agency wants to check the copy on a US client's number. They switch the flag to US, type 4088613552, and the test sends to +14088613552.
