Form-Phone Number Variations

For all our forms, phone number field is causing a issue in reports as users can enter just a single digit, is there is a workaround? to limit the minimum phone number digits?

Re: Form-Phone Number Variations


Is there someway to alter the code to be conditional to run only if phone number is in the form? Thanks!

Sure, you can check if the Phone number exists at all in the initial form field set. I updated the Pen accordingly.

Not in the form builder.  You will need some validation logic on your webpage to do this

Will, you can use the mask input feature (Apply Input Masking to a Field in a Form - Marketo Docs - Product Docs) for the phone number field on the form. Make it a text field and by inputting "9999999999" you then require the field to have a maximum of 10 numbers. I do not believe it can enforce a minimum length though.

Do you know if this supports international numbers too? thanks!

You can input as many "9" digits necessary, it just enforces that an inputted number cannot have more digits than what you allow.

I'll show you how to max and min it up using a custom validator later tonight.

I have not found a way to mask like you are asking for, which is also disappointing here.

If there were the ability to mask in one of two ways either of ##-###-###-#### or ###-###-#### it would be great, and solve the international issue, however, this is not an option without customization.

Other than what Deval said, you can use javascript on the page to help manage this.

If you are a global company though, you will need to take into account Intl Codes and lengths.

See some examples of what you can do at MktoForms2 :: Extended Phone Validation

Obviously you can go down a real rabbit hole in trying to allow user-formatted entries while still trying to detect "obviously" bad formats. That's why usually phone #s are masked to a particular format, though as Josh said this has to be localized.

Hi Sanford,

Thanks for sharing that javascript. So I copied and pasted and the error message does pop up, however, I'm still able to submit the form itself and am taken to the thank you page. 

Here is a test landing page I created:

https://go.greenhouse.io/Demo-Test.html

Can you advise on how I can ensure that the user can NOT submit the form if they input a phone number that is less than 7 digits or more than 13 digits?

Thanks,

Hoi
