Understanding Custom Fields
Custom fields are versatile tools that enable the collection of specific information from customers via forms or surveys, allowing for a tailored data-gathering experience. Structuring Custom Fields This section empowers you to design custom fields according to your business needs. Custom fields transcend standard questions like "Name, Email, and Phone Number," enabling the capture of unique data points that are particularly relevant to your operations. Whether it’s gathering information about a customer's job role, their preferred product, or any other non-standard query, custom fields offer the flexibility to refine your data collection to suit specific objectives. Note: Your access to certain features may vary depending on your user permissions. Overview of All Custom Fields When you navigate to the Custom Values tab, you’ll find a comprehensive list of all the custom fields that have been created so far. This overview allows you to efficiently monitor and manage your custom fields. Utilizing the Search Feature Quickly locate specific custom fields by using the search bar, eliminating the need for manual scrolling and saving you valuable time. Filtering Custom Fields by Group The group filter feature allows you to organize and view your custom fields based on specific categories: All: Displays all custom fields across all groups. Contact: Shows custom fields created for contacts. General Info: Filters custom fields under general information. Additional Info: Focuses on custom fields related to additional information.

Automating Lead Worth Based on Survey Input
Establishing Custom Fields Before integrating survey responses into your lead management system, it's essential to create a custom field to store the lead's value. Follow these steps to set it up: 1. Navigate to the CRM’s Settings area. 2. Click on the “Custom Fields” option. 3. Create a new custom field by selecting the "Single Line" type and label it "Lead Worth." Although numerical values are preferable, you can also test other formats such as text or currency. Designing and Connecting Surveys Once your custom field is established, the next step is to design a survey that gathers the necessary data to update the lead's worth: 1. Go to the CRM’s survey section and either create a new survey or select an existing one. 2. Include questions that help ascertain the lead's worth. For example, add a question that directly asks for this value. 3. In the survey’s settings, locate the “Integrate” option and generate a link. This link can be shared with potential leads or embedded into various communication channels. Configuring the Automation Workflow Triggers are key to automating the update of lead values. Here’s how you can configure one: 1. In the workflow section, add a new trigger. 2. Set the trigger condition to “Survey Submitted” and select the specific survey you've designed. 3. Choose the action “Add/Update Opportunity,” and for the lead worth, select the custom field you created earlier. 4. Publish the workflow. Validating Your Configuration To ensure that everything operates as expected, you should conduct a test: 1. Complete the survey using a test lead value (e.g., 497). 2. Submit the survey, then check the “Opportunities” section in the CRM. 3. Confirm that the new test lead is displayed with the correct value (e.g., 497) as specified in the survey response. Troubleshooting and Common Questions What if the lead worth doesn’t update? Recheck the trigger settings and confirm that the correct survey and custom fields are selected. Can this method be used with various custom field types? Yes, while numerical fields are tested, you can also experiment with text and currency fields.
