Create custom form fields

Create custom fields to collect information from customers and prospects beyond standard contact information.

Understanding the field configuration

Field identifier: Internal name for the field that appears in the lead profile and the “My fields” selection drop-down when you create a form. Visitors to the form can not see this name.

Field label: Public name that appears on the form to help guide people who are completing your form. For example, the label may be written as a question to be answered by the contact’s response in the options or text box.

Field options (dropdown, ratio, checkbox): Preset response options for the field. 

• Use dropdown menu or ratio button to allow only one selection from a group of predefined options
• Use checkboxes to allow multiple selections from a group of predefined options
• Use text input (single line) or text area (multi-line) to allow a completely custom, typed response

Field placeholder (text input and text area): Example text that appears inside a text field. This is typically used to help the person completing the form understand what kind of information or details to enter.
