Is it possible to format the phone number so that I can get a dashed format like this 303-555-1212?

I had the same need — users enter phone numbers in all kinds of formats (with spaces, dots, brackets, or none at all). To keep everything consistent, I connected my form/CRM to Zapier + numverify:

  1. Numverify validates the number and detects the country.
  2. Zapier then reformats it into the style I want (e.g., 303-555-1212).
  3. The clean version is saved back into the system automatically.

This way you don’t have to force users to type dashes, and your database still stays neat.

If you’d like to try it, here’s the Zapier integration:
