Hey guys, so I looked into one of the clients (127126 - Multistate Transmission Naperville) from the attached spreadsheet. We are sending 2 Yext category ids for the client but we got an error from their side:
 
"Update failed with 1 errors. The first error is: This message was not approved because it contains a phone number."
 
I haven’t seen this error before but it seems like it’s failing to show us the real error message.
I think what is happening is, even though it gave us that error message it still saved our client on Yext with no categories, because we don’t do any updates to the categories from our side.
 
I’ve provided the data that we sent to Yext and the response which contains the error message:
