These are the functions I have tried to extract JUST the phone number.

Desired Result = (416) 111-2211

Test1
trim(split(split(outputs('Compose'), 'Phone: ')[1], '\n')[0])
Result =
(416) 111-2211

Test2
trim(first(split(split(outputs('Compose'), 'Phone: ')[1], 'Email:')[0]))
Result =
(

Test3
trim(first(split(split(outputs('Compose'), 'Phone: ')[1], '\n')))
Result =
(416) 111-2211
Email: jeff@gtawoodworks.com

Test4
trim(first(split(split(outputs('Compose'), 'Phone: ')[1], ' ')))
Result =
(416)

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

TIA

Try the below expression:

split(split(outputs('Compose'), 'Phone: ')[1], decodeUriComponent('%0A'))[0]

@Chriddle and @Expiscornovus both work like a charm.

What's the difference in the logic between the two expressions?

The approach I shared splits twice, once on the text Phone:, the second item of that array is used to split a second time on the new line character. Finally the first item is returned of that second split.

Criddle his approach splits on the new line character and uses the 4th item of that array and then uses a slice to get the phone value.

Both work if your structure of data always stays the same :)
