Custom Values: A Master Help Guide

What Are Custom Values?

Custom Values let you pull in saved details automatically - like a contact’s name, appointment time, or your business info so you don’t have to type them out every time. You’ll usually use these in emails, SMS or workflows when you want things to feel personal or dynamic.

You can also create your own custom values under Settings > Custom Values. For example, you could create a one-liner about what your business does and save it as a custom value. Then, when you're writing emails or landing pages, you can quickly and easily pull in that text about you.


Where Can You Use Custom Values?

You can use custom values in many places - such as emails, SMS, workflows, opportunities, invoices and more. However please note, just because you see a custom value option, it does NOT guarantee the data will populate. Data will only populate if:

  1. The data is in the system, e.g. the information has been gained and stored via a form or other setting

  2. The trigger you are using will pass-through the custom value. For this reason, always test your work to ensure it populates as intended.


How To Insert Custom Values?

There is a custom value icon that you will see throughout the Ivorey™ platform, wherever the feature is available.
