This article provides instructions to setup custom fields within the campaign and to set inputs on your pages to pass data into those custom fields.
Create custom field within the campaign
On the CRM side of your account, navigate to your campaign setup screen and edit the campaign where you want to add custom fields:
Scroll down to the bottom of the campaign sections to the Custom Fields area:
Click the “+” Button to create a new custom field for the campaign and fill out the configuration window.
For input custom fields, choose the Text data type.
Remember the Field Name you choose. This will be used win the next step, and is case sensitive.
Create input on funnel
Next, go to funnel builder and edit the funnel and then edit the page that you want to add the custom field to.
Once inside the page editor, use the Building Blocks to drag an Input or Input Container block onto the page (or duplicate an existing input and relocate to proper location)
Next, click on the newly placed input element and open the element's settings under the Style Manager.
In the Custom Field input, enter the exact Custom Field name that you added into the campaign on the first step. Do not select a value for Name.
Once this is complete, save the page and then publish the funnel so you can go to the live site and test the functionality.
Checkbox and Radio Button
Custom fields can also be set on checkboxes and radio buttons.
For checkboxes, set Name = custom_[fieldName]. For example, custom_AgreeToTerms. A checked box will have value 1. An unchecked box will have value 0.
For radio buttons, set Name = custom_[fieldName] on each radio button in the group. Set the proper value of the custom field on each radio. The checked radio will pass value as the custom field.
