How Does Automatic Country Detection Work in GHL Forms?
Updated November 18, 2022
When contacts from different countries fill out your forms, a mismatched or missing country code can corrupt phone data and break SMS workflows. By adding the standard phone field in GoHighLevel's Form Builder, you can automatically detect each visitor's country and pre-fill the correct dial code.
Automatic country code detection is a great feature in forms. Forms are smart enough to recognize the location of the person that has accessed the page. The only action on your end is to ensure you’re using a phone field in a form for this to apply.
Step 1: Using the Phone Field
- Navigate to the Form Builder.
- Create a new form or edit an existing form.
- Utilizing the Standard Fields on the right-hand side, drag-and-drop the Phone field into the form.
- Save the form.
- Integrate the form.
Step 2: Viewing the Automatic Country Code Detection
- Copy the link and visit the Form in a new browser tab.
You’ll see the phone field has a country flag next to it. That flag should be the country you’re physically located in, as the person accessing the form. (In the video and screenshot examples, it is USA.)
