Example usage

NF Process Phone validates and formats the phone value only — it does not update Salesforce records. Add your own Update Records (or another element) when you want to persist the formatted value.

Typical pattern on record-triggered flows:

1. Run NF Process Phone on the phone field.
2. Decision on {!Status} — for example VALID vs Other (default).
3. On VALID, Update Records with {!NF Process Phone.Formatted Value} (or another output).
