HubSpot workflows can’t handle international phone number formatting because country codes have different lengths and formatting standards vary by country. This creates inconsistent formatting across your contact database and breaks automation.
You’ll learn how to format international phone numbers consistently using spreadsheet logic that handles multiple country codes and formatting rules.
Handle international formatting complexity using Coefficient
CoefficientHubSpotHubSpotexcels at international phone number formatting by connectingcontacts to spreadsheets where complex formatting logic works reliably. Handle varying country code lengths and apply country-specific formatting rules, then sync clean data back to.
How to make it work
Step 1. Pull HubSpot contacts into spreadsheets for processing.
Import contact data with international phone numbers from HubSpot. Include country information if available to help with formatting logic.
Step 2. Create conditional formulas to detect different country codes.
Use nested IF statements to handle varying country code lengths: =IF(LEFT(A2,3)=”+44″,CONCATENATE(“+44 “,MID(A2,4,4),” “,MID(A2,8,3),” “,MID(A2,11,3)),IF(LEFT(A2,2)=”+1”,CONCATENATE(“+1 (“,MID(A2,3,3),”) “,MID(A2,6,3),”-“,MID(A2,9,4)),”Standard Format”)). This handles +1, +44, +33, and other country codes.
Step 3. Apply country-specific formatting rules.
Create different formatting patterns for each country. UK numbers get formatted differently than US numbers, and your formulas can handle these variations automatically.
Step 4. Handle validation and sync back to HubSpot.
Add error checking for incomplete international numbers and edge cases. Export properly formatted international numbers back to HubSpot contact properties with automatic scheduling.
