Last updated: April 10, 2026
Custom fields are a powerful feature that allows you to tailor your database to your specific business needs. Instead of being limited to standard fields, you can create your own to capture exactly the information that matters most to your business.
What are Custom Fields?
With custom fields, you can track and store unique information about your prospects that the standard fields do not cover, providing a more complete view of your prospects. This information can be anything from the prospect's preferred contact time to their specific product interests or industry-specific data.
Benefits of Custom Fields
Custom fields enable you to:
personalize your interactions with prospects by storing unique information about them
segment your prospects for targeted marketing campaigns
capture all the necessary data in one place, making it easier to qualify and prioritize leads
By understanding what custom fields can do, you'll be better equipped to design a database that truly supports your outreach strategy and helps you build stronger prospect relationships.
