Invalid phone number

If you receive an error related to a phone number during an employee import, the phone number format is not compatible with Amelio.

Solution: Use digits only (numbers) and include the country's long-distance code before the phone number.

For example:

  • Canada and the United States: 1

  • Example: 15555555555

Phone numbers that contain special characters, spaces, or formatting will generate an error, such as:

  • (555) 555-5555

  • 555-555-5555

  • 514 555 5555

  • +1 (514) 555-5555

This error will not prevent the employee list from being imported.

You have two options:

  • Cancel the import, update the phone numbers in your Excel file, and import the file again

  • Continue with the import and manually update the affected employee profiles afterward

If you choose the second option, note the employees with invalid phone numbers before completing the import so you may update their profiles later.
