Short answer

How do I fix unformatted postal codes in my CRM?

Your AI uses the format_postal_code tool to take raw, messy strings and convert them into the specific regional format required for your database. This ensures your shipping and billing data stays consistent. You'll see exactly how the data shifts in the breakdown below.

Where every issue lands.

The results of your cleanup.

The AI sorts your data into these four categories based on the results of the formatting process.

SUCCESS

Standardized postal codes

The AI successfully applied the correct regional format. These records are ready to be imported back into your CRM.

RETRY

Ambiguous input data

The postal code was too vague for the AI to determine a specific region. You'll need to provide more context to get a match.

ERROR

Invalid code structures

The input doesn't resemble a real postal code. The AI flags these so you can delete or fix them manually.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

The AI found a potential match but isn't certain. These records are set aside for you to check before finalization.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as a filter between your messy imports and your clean database.

  1. Identify raw input

    Your AI scans your bulk import or spreadsheet to find strings that look like postal codes.

    format_postal_code

  2. Apply regional rules

    The AI runs the identified strings through the formatter to match them against global postal standards.

    format_postal_code

  3. Validate the output

    The AI checks if the new format is valid for the target country or region.

    format_postal_code

  4. Flag discrepancies

    Any code that fails the formatting check is marked for your review.
