Why Set a Default Country? #
Setting a default country for contacts has several benefits:
- Accuracy: Ensures that communications and automations that depend on the country field operate correctly.
- Personalization: Tailors interactions and campaigns to the appropriate regional context.
- Compliance: Helps maintain compliance with regional regulations, especially for communications and data privacy.
Default Country Setting in Aiphilia #
By default, Aiphilia sets the USA as the default country if a contact does not have the country field filled out. This can be a limitation for businesses operating primarily outside the USA. Fortunately, allows you to customize this setting within your workflows.
How to Change the Default Country #
To change the default country, you need to edit the action in the last “NONE” branch of your workflow. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Access Your Workflows:
- Navigate to Automations > Workflows.
Edit the Workflow:
- Open the B-013-WF-1.0. Set Contact Country -> Set Holiday Dates workflow.
- Find the last “NONE” branch in the workflow. This branch handles cases where the country field is not filled out.
Modify the Action in the “NONE” Branch:
- In the “NONE” branch, locate the action that sets the default country.
- Edit this action to change the default country from the USA to your desired country.
- Example: If you want to set the default country to Canada, update the action to assign “Canada” to the country field when it is blank.
Save and Test Your Workflow:
- Save the changes to your workflow.
- Run a test to ensure that new contacts without a specified country now default to your chosen country.
