How do I change phone format

How do I change phone format (999) 777-4444 to 9997774444 so i can use it in my pipeline for an outgoing request

  • Or make a formula in native Quickbase. 

    var text Tel = ToText([Mobile for Drug test Notifications]);

    var text RemoveBracketOne = SearchAndReplace($Tel,"(","");


    var text RemoveBracketTwo = SearchAndReplace($RemoveBracketOne,")","");


     SearchAndReplace($RemoveBracketTwo,"-","")

     

  • I have not tried to change a phone number format in a Pipeline but here is the article on transforming data.

    I suspect you need to change it to a string.  That would look something like

    {a.phone|string()}

     I have not tested that one but will give it a look.

  • I have tried to stringify it, but that didn't work. I was able to find and create a formula field  similar to the solution and that resolved my problem. Thank you!
