Who This Is For / When to Use
Use the country picker when sending a test message from a Send SMS workflow action. The country picker is especially useful when you enter phone numbers in local format without manually adding the international country code.
What Changed
The Test Phone Number field in the Send SMS workflow action now uses the standard Kyrios phone number input.
The updated field includes:
A country flag and dialing-code picker
Automatic selection of the account's country
Support for entering phone numbers in local format
Automatic conversion to full international format before the test SMS is sent
A simplified Invalid phone number validation message
The previous instruction requiring users to manually add a country code has been removed.
How the Country Picker Works
The country picker appears before the Test Phone Number field.
By default, Kyrios selects the country configured for the account.
When you enter a phone number, Kyrios uses the selected country to determine the correct international dialing code. The phone number is converted to full international format before the test SMS is sent. For example, if the United States is selected and you enter 4088613552, Kyrios sends the test to +14088613552.
How to Select a Different Country
You can change the country before sending the test SMS.
Open the Send SMS action in the workflow.
Scroll to Test Phone Number.
Click the country flag beside the phone number field.
Search for a country by name or dialing code.
Select the correct country.
Enter the phone number.
Click Send test SMS.
The selected country determines how Kyrios formats the phone number for the test.
