The Settings can be opened from the extension and pin the extension to open it's settings as shown below;

This is useful for those who are saving mobile numbers without country code, this works along with the exact length of the mobile number settings, let's understand with an example;
In India (Country code 91) the mobile numbers are 10 digit long so with country code the number becomes 12 digits
But in the Zoho CRM if you have saved only the 10 digit of an Indian mobile number then it will not work with WhatsApp as WhatsApp needs country code as well to send messages, so in this case you need to configure the settings as below;
Country Prefix : 10
Length of the Mobile Number without Country Code : 10
Now wherever in your Zoho CRM the phone number length is equals to and below than 10 then the extension will auto append the country code 91 which makes the number compatible with WhatsApp
If the length of the mobile number is above 10 digits then the extension will not prefix any values to the number so that it will work with other numbers which are saved with country code
