Script to determinate Country from phone number

At a glance
The community members are trying to write a script that can determine the country based on a phone number stored in the variable "Phone". They have provided several code snippets, and one of the community members has provided a valid solution that uses a "Set variable" block with a return value. The valid code is: let phone = {{Phone}}.replace(/\D/g, ""); let countryCode; if (phone.startsWith("+")) { phone = phone.substring(1); } function determineCountry(phoneNumber) { let country; if (phoneNumber.startsWith("54")) { country = "Argentina"; } else if (phoneNumber.startsWith("59")) { country = "Uruguay"; } else if (phoneNumber.startsWith("52")) { country = "Mexico"; } else if (phoneNumber.startsWith("1")) { country = "USA"; } else { country = "UNKNOWN"; } return country; } return determineCountry(phone);

If Phone has the number of visitor, how can save in variable Country the country , based on phone number?

I tried this code but it does not work

// Obtener el número de teléfono de la variable Typebot let phone = "{{Phone}}"; // Función para determinar el país basado en los dos primeros dígitos del número de teléfono function determineCountry(phoneNumber) { let countryCode = phoneNumber.substring(0, 2); let country; switch (countryCode) { case "54": country = "Argentina"; break; case "59": country = "Uruguay"; break; case "52": country = "Mexico"; break; case "1": country = "Usa"; break; default: country = "UNKKNOWN"; break; } return country; } // Determinar el país y guardarlo en la variable countryfinal let countryfinal = determineCountry(phone); // Establecer la variable country en Typebot setVariable('country', countryfinal);



Because The country is {{Country}} , always shows UNKNOWN

If you are setting one variable only, use a Set variable block with a return value

Here is a valid code:

Plain Text
let phone = {{Phone}}.replace(/\D/g, "");
let countryCode;

if (phone.startsWith("+")) {
  phone = phone.substring(1);
}

function determineCountry(phoneNumber) {
  let country;
  if (phoneNumber.startsWith("54")) {
    country = "Argentina";
  } else if (phoneNumber.startsWith("59")) {
    country = "Uruguay";
  } else if (phoneNumber.startsWith("52")) {
    country = "Mexico";
  } else if (phoneNumber.startsWith("1")) {
    country = "USA";
  } else {
    country = "UNKNOWN";
  }
  return country;
}

return determineCountry(phone);

THE AI , give me this code, but still does not work

let phone = "{{Phone}}".replace(/\D/g, '');
let countryCode;

if (phone.startsWith("+")) {
phone = phone.substring(1);
}

function determineCountry(phoneNumber) {
let country;
if (phoneNumber.startsWith("54")) {
country = "Argentina";
} else if (phoneNumber.startsWith("59")) {
country = "Uruguay";
} else if (phoneNumber.startsWith("52")) {
country = "Mexico";
} else if (phoneNumber.startsWith("1")) {
country = "USA";
} else {
country = "UNKNOWN";
}
return country;
}

let countryfinal = determineCountry(phone);
setVariable('country', countryfinal);

Try with this (just the result with a deeper inspection by deepseek)

// Obtener el número de teléfono de la variable Typebot y evitar valores nulos
let phone = "{{Phone}}" || ""; // Evita valores nulos
phone = phone.replace(/\D/g, ''); // Elimina todos los caracteres no numéricos

// Elimina prefijos como "+" o "00"
if (phone.startsWith("00")) {
phone = phone.substring(2); // Elimina "00" si está en formato internacional
} else if (phone.startsWith("+")) {
phone = phone.substring(1); // Elimina "+"
}

// Función para determinar el país basado en el prefijo
function determineCountry(phoneNumber) {
let country;

// Comprueba los códigos internacionales
if (phoneNumber.startsWith("54")) {
country = "Argentina";
} else if (phoneNumber.startsWith("598")) { // Uruguay tiene un prefijo de 3 dígitos
country = "Uruguay";
} else if (phoneNumber.startsWith("52")) {
country = "Mexico";
} else if (phoneNumber.startsWith("1")) { // USA y Canadá
country = "USA";
} else {
country = "UNKNOWN"; // Por defecto
}

return country;
}

// Determina el país y guarda el resultado
let countryfinal = determineCountry(phone);

// Establece la variable 'country' en Typebot
setVariable('country', countryfinal);

// Depuración para verificar los datos
console.log("Phone:", phone); // Muestra el número limpio
console.log("Country:", countryfinal); // Muestra el país detectado

Copy paste your code here there is most likely a syntax issue with it
aaltomarketing
attaching now the bot.. error in test is TypeError: bernhrdrreyefbsnxbw6l1l6.replace is not a function
mmichaelvips
much more easy use a api, send the phone number to a phone number api checker like abstractapi, then get only what you need.
aaltomarketing
why should i pay and relay on an external api if i only want to define a variable checking only if it starts in first 2 numbers ?
aaltomarketing
any advice ?
BBaptiste
I was talking about the script code content
BBaptiste
But with the error message I can already guess what's wrong
BBaptiste
You most likely do: "{{Phone}}".replace(/\D/g, "") instead of {{Phone}}.replace(/\D/g, "")
BBaptiste
See the 2nd Info box at the top of this page: https://docs.typebot.io/editor/blocks/logic/script#script-block

See the image, i did {{Phone}}.replace(/\D/g, "")
aaltomarketing
i did copy and paste your code..
BBaptiste
Ok that's because you are passing a number: 1234556
BBaptiste
you can't do 1234556.replace(..)
BBaptiste
you can convert it to string first: 234556.toString().replace(..)
aaltomarketing
lets forget the converting.. it still printing all code instead of executing it..

Im using version 3.2.0
BBaptiste
Now the error is TypeError: phone.startsWith is not a function
BBaptiste
because phone is a number
BBaptiste
as long as the code is failing, the whole content is returned to the variable
BBaptiste
This behavior will change soon
aaltomarketing
thanks for your support.. i will wait
