Custom values
Define frequently used details such as the office address, map link and opening hours once, and use them in every message template.
2 min read
Your agents and automations send the same details over and over: the office address, a map link, opening hours, the valuation booking link. Custom Values let you save them once and use them in message templates with a short key. When the office moves, you update one place and both the appointment confirmation and the reminder use the new address automatically.
How is this different from a custom field?
| Custom Field | Custom Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Belongs to | Each client separately | The whole agency |
| Example | The client's budget | The office address |
| Key format | {{contact.budget}} | {{custom_values.office_address}} |
For details that differ per client, see Custom fields.
Viewing custom values
- Open Settings → Custom Values. The list shows each value's name, content and key.
- To add a value, click Add Custom Value at the top right.
Adding a custom value
- Enter a descriptive Name, e.g. "Map link". The key is generated from it automatically.
- Type or paste the Value.
- Click Save.
Using it in templates
Click the copy icon next to the key and paste it into a snippet or automation message. For example, a viewing confirmation:
Hi {{contact.first_name}}, for tomorrow's viewing we'll meet at our office: {{custom_values.office_address}}. Map: {{custom_values.map_link}}
When the message is sent, the keys are replaced with the real values. See Templates and snippets.
Suggested custom values for an estate agency
- Office address — full address
- Map link — the office's map location
- Opening hours — "Weekdays 09:00–19:00, Saturday 10:00–16:00"
- Valuation link — the free valuation booking page (Booking link)
- Office WhatsApp — the number clients can message
- Licence number — for email and offer texts
Heads up
Some custom values are used by automation messages (appointment confirmations, reminders, follow-ups). If you delete one, those messages will have a gap and the client receives an incomplete message. Update the value rather than deleting it; if you need to rename or delete one, tell your consultant first.
Note
The office details the assistant says on the phone (address, opening hours) were taught to it during setup. Updating a custom value updates automation messages immediately; let your consultant know so the assistant says the new details too.
