Custom fields let you store anything you want on a subscriber: an affiliate ID, a company name, a t-shirt size, a webinar date. Create a field once and it works across the whole plugin.
Three places to create one:
- During a CSV import: every column dropdown has an Add A Custom Field option
- On a signup form: the Fields table has an Add A Custom Field button
- Automatically via the public signup API: any extra field posted with a signup is stored
Field names are normalized to lowercase letters, numbers and underscores (My Phone becomes my_phone), and every field you create is remembered and offered everywhere from then on.
Four places to use them:
- In emails: {{my_field}} or {{custom.my_field}}, including inside links
- In the audience builder: the Custom Field filter matches equals, contains or exists
- In the AI Segment Builder: the AI knows your field names and uses them when you describe an audience
- On signup forms: collect the value straight from the visitor
Subscribers can carry any number of custom fields, and values are visible on each subscriber's profile.
