Phone number validation in your AI funnel asks visitors to confirm the phone number they just entered, using a one-time code sent to that number by SMS. This makes sure that you reach real people instead of invalid or mistyped phone numbers.
TL;DR
To enable phone number validation in your AI funnel, select the phone field in the AI Funnel Editor, click Settings, turn on Verification, and publish your funnel to save the changes.
Turn on the Keep unverified leads setting if you still want to collect the contacts that didn't verify their phone number.
Each plan comes with 25 free validation intents per billing month, and each additional validation intent costs 0.19 in your plan's currency.
How phone number validation works for your funnel visitors
When visitors enter and submit their phone number in your AI funnel, a verification code is automatically sent to the provided phone number by SMS. At the same time, a pop-up appears in the funnel, prompting the lead to verify their entered phone number.
Once the lead enters the received verification code, they are immediately redirected within the funnel.
How to turn on phone validation in the AI funnel?
Open your funnel, switch to Edit mode of the AI Funnel Editor, and click on the phone number field you want to validate.
Click Settings in the toolbar that appears above the field, and toggle Verification on.
Publish the changes on your funnel.
Alternatively, you can ask AI to enable the phone validation for you.
If you have phone number validation enabled and you do not want a lead to be created when the phone validation fails, you can keep the Keep unverified leads toggle off. This way, only funnel visitors with verified phone numbers will reach your contacts.
If you want to keep contacts with both verified and unverified phone numbers, turn the Keep unverified leads toggle on.
To see if the contact completed the phone number verification, go to the Contacts tab and click on the contact's card.
Next to the phone number that the contact entered, you'll see a shield icon showing you that the contact completed the phone validation.
How much does phone validation in AI funnels cost?
Each plan comes with 25 free validation intents per billing month. After you've used those, each additional validation intent costs 0.19 in your plan's currency.
The number of validations resets every month on your billing day. For example, if your Perspective account renews every month on the 5th, the number of your free validation intents will also refresh on the 5th.
If you didn't use all your validation intents within a month, the remaining intents do not roll over to the next month.
ℹ️ Important: Charges are based on validation intents, not on whether a phone number is successfully validated. A validation intent is triggered every time someone enters a phone number in your funnel form.
Validation intents remain active for 5 minutes, so if the same person enters their phone number again after 5 minutes, a new validation intent is triggered and billed accordingly.
