Error
Contact Record Status:
Loaded with error
Error Message:
Phone column is empty for defined country: {Contact Path}
Contact upload failure error messages can be viewed under Contacts > Uploads. Selecting the upload results icon next to the desired file opens the Upload Results page, where the error is displayed.
Root Cause
The error occurs when a value is provided in the Phone Country column but the corresponding Phone column does not contain a phone number. When a country code is present, the system expects a phone number in the associated phone column.
Solution
Only provide a contact path country code if a corresponding contact path value is included in the upload file to avoid this error.
To resolve this error:
- Add the missing phone or SMS number in the appropriate Phone or SMS column for the specified Phone Country or SMS Country, or
- Remove the value from the Phone Country or SMS Country column so the system no longer expects a corresponding phone or SMS number.
After correcting the CSV upload file, upload the file again.
