Automate Phone Validation and Smart Notifications

Introduction

Keep your contact list clean and reach people on the right channel automatically. One flow checks each number and follows up instantly 🔁

Trigger Event

A scheduled run (every few minutes) processes new or existing rows from your contacts table.

Actions

  • The automation reads each contact’s details (name, email, phone) from your table.
  • It validates the phone number to confirm if it’s real and reachable, including correct format and carrier checks.
  • If the number is valid ➜ an SMS is sent using your predefined template, so the contact gets your message right away.
  • If the number is invalid ➜ an email is sent to the contact asking for their correct phone number, keeping the conversation moving.

Benefits

  • ✔️ Faster outreach: SMS goes out instantly when numbers are good
  • ✔️ Fewer manual follow-ups: email requests fire for bad numbers
  • ✔️ Scales on a schedule—set once and let it run
