Collect custom properties

Custom properties can be added to your customers' profiles through the following:

Let's look into each of these options in greater detail.

After the Signup Form is published, the customer selects the checkbox, and the information is collected. On the overview page of the Signup Form, you can see the collected information.

Click on the email and jump to the Profile page, you can also see the collected information.

Add custom properties to the customer profile

To add a custom property to a single customer profile, go to Profiless → click on the contact email address to open the profile page → click on the Edit button next to the Custom properties → choose to Add property.

You may choose to add a new custom property or to select an existing one.
