Summary:

  • A Contact Custom Field can help you identify and label new and existing contacts.

  • It is designated to store the answers to commonly asked customer questions. Questions like "Vacuum location," "Where to park," "Products to Use," etc.

  • Like the Customer Notes section, Contact Custom Fields show on ALL appointments. They differ from Appointment Notes & Appointment Custom Fields, which only show on SINGLE appointments.


Creating Contact Custom Fields

  • From your ZenMaid dashboard, go to Settings > Custom Fields under Contacts.

  • Scroll down the page until you see the + Add Contact custom field button.

  • You will get a pop-up prompting you to create a custom field which you can select if it is a checkbox, dropdown, short text, or long text type.

  • Click Save to create the field

  • Click on Save changes to update your changes.

  • You can also edit, archive, or delete the fields you made using the pencil, folder, or bin icon.

  • Custom fields will be visible in the Customer's profile.

  • You can run a Revenue Report ONLY when you create the Dropdown type of Customer Custom Fields.
