How it works

Data fields allow you to collect information from your responders with Data Collection and Payment Blocks. Fields can:

• Come in multiple types, including names, dates, addresses, and employment information
• Have customizable names
• Be required or optional
• Be reordered

This guide offers everything you need to get started with custom data fields.

1. making new fields
2. changing the type and name of a field
3. making fields required vs. optional
4. reordering fields
5. using merge fields in data field names
6. deleting fields

<aside> ☝🏼 For Zapier: custom data fields are included in version 1.5 or above. (older versions are still active, but will not include custom data fields). For more on using Zapier, see here
