    Hello @hurryhurry,

    You can use Input Mask to make the first part of your link only-read. In this way, users can fill their number after your link. And you can pass this modified link to Thank You Page, so users can see their link after they submit the form.

    Here is a step-by-step guide:

    1. Select the Short Text input you want to apply an input mask and go to the Options tab from Properties.1608274715 5fdc531bc864d  Screenshot 10

    You may add a question in the form to ask for the number of digits they have for their number

    and depending on the answer, you can create two fields with each different input mask with 10 and 11 digit phone numbers.

    Please give it a try and let us know how it goes.
