ACTION_ID: person_phone_number_verification_using_clearout
NAME: ClearoutPhone: Phone Number Verification
CATEGORY: Person Enrichment
CREDITS: 0.01

Verify a phone number with ClearoutPhone — line status, carrier and line
type — worldwide, at a hundredth of a credit per check.

1. INPUTS

phone_number (type: string, required)
  Phone Number. Phone Number to verify

2. OUTPUTS

phone_verification_status (string) — Status of the phone verification

phone_verification_data (json) — Additional Details of phone
verification

3. HOW TO CONFIGURE

Configure Action body:

{
  "inputs": {
    "phone_number": "{{person_enrich_by_floqer_01ab.phone_number}}"
  }
}

Field-by-field:
  - phone_number  Required. Include the country code. ClearoutPhone
                  cannot infer a region from a bare national number.

4. KEY NOTES

- At 0.01 credits this is the cheapest verification in the catalog and
  it covers international numbers, unlike
  `person_phone_number_verification_using_real_phone` which is US/Canada
  only.
- It does NOT return US compliance flags. Litigator, DNC and DMA checks
  only come from `person_phone_number_verification_using_real_phone` —
  use that one before dialing US numbers.
- `phone_verification_data` is a `json` object holding carrier and
  line-type detail. Reach into it from a `formula` with the bracket
  form, not dotted syntax.
- Numbers without a country code are rejected. Normalise upstream with a
  `formula`.

5. WHERE IT FITS IN A WORKFLOW

Pattern: person_enrich_by_floqer ->
person_phone_number_verification_using_clearout -> filter
(phone_verification_status is valid) -> salesfinity_add_contact.

6. WHEN TO USE

Use person_phone_number_verification_using_clearout to strip dead
numbers out of a large international list before paying for dialer seats
or compliance checks.

7. WHEN NOT TO USE

Dialing US or Canadian numbers and need DNC / litigator flags
