Hello, I'm new to Umbraco and have inherited a Umbraco site created by a 3rd party company. I'm trying to figure out how our site is replacing text in the HTML. I recently created a page and added in a string with the phone number, (Something to the effect of) 888.111.4143, encapsulated in a span tag, Upon loading the page I see my original phone number show up, and then immediately change to (Something to the effect of) 855.222.3559. I realize that this is the case anywhere that the specific number is placed through the entire application. I have looked up and down in the cms and through the code and can't seem to figure out what is changing the text. I was wondering if anyone had an idea of what could make this kinda change dynamically across the site.
Unfortunately, I can not get in touch with the original creators of the site.
We do this intentionally for a lot of our clients with 3rd party apps like call rail to track calls from ad buys. Have you checked to see if something like that has been implemented?
Nope, unrelated to Umbraco, check if there is a script on the site that's swapping the number. I'm assuming this unexpected change is happening on the front end and not in the Umbraco back-office right?
Can you share a link to the site? I would literally look at the front end of the site, open dev tools, look at network activity, etc. If its something front end you'll be able to see it there.

Thank you in advance!

Hello Amir, Are you referring to the packages under the developer section in Umbraco?
If so I have Starter Kit, Articulate, Formulate, uSync.BackOffice and uSync.ContentEdition installed.

Correct, Its on the front end. I looked through all of the apps in Visual Studio. I haven't seen anything showing a swap in the scripts.

Sure here's the external site. https://carsrelo.com/
The phone number 877.825.4143 is being replaced with 855.339.7537.
Yep, its some script that's replacing it on the front end, nothing to do with Umbraco.
A quick inspect / google says its this product, probably delivered via GTM: https://www.calltrackingmetrics.com/
Oh wow. Thanks Amir! I do see GTM under GoogleAnalytics. I will have to look deeper into how that works.
