Examples

1. Standardizing CRM Contact List

Data Analyst
Background
A marketing team collected contact numbers in various formats, including local and international styles, causing issues with their automated SMS service.
Problem
The SMS service requires all numbers to be in E.164 format to function correctly.
How to Use
Paste the contact list into the tool, select 'E.164' as the target format, and set the default country to 'US'.
Example Config
targetFormat: e164, defaultCountry: US, validateNumbers: true
Outcome
All phone numbers are converted to the E.164 standard, allowing for seamless integration with the SMS service.

2. Extracting Numbers from Email Signatures

Sales Representative
Background
A sales rep needs to pull phone numbers from a long thread of emails to build a call list.
Problem
The numbers are buried in text with different spacing and formatting, making them hard to copy-paste into a dialer.
How to Use
Paste the email thread, select 'Human readable' format, and enable 'Preserve Original Text' to see the numbers highlighted in context.
Example Config
targetFormat: human, preserveOriginal: true
Outcome
The tool identifies all phone numbers in the text and reformats them into a clean, readable style while keeping the original context intact.
