Click Add field. It appears on every contact and in each chat's Details.
Change, archive or delete a field
- Rename a field or a dropdown option any time: every contact's value stays as it is.
- A field's type can't change once a contact has a value. Create a new field instead.
- An option some contacts have chosen can be renamed but not removed.
- Archive hides a field and keeps its values. Restore brings it back.
- Delete removes the field and its value from every contact. This can't be undone.
- Use the arrows to change the order fields appear in.
How many fields your plan includes
- Starter: 10 active fields. Growth: 30. Pro: 100. A free trial: 30.
- Archived fields don't count, and deleting one frees its place.
- The count is at the top of the page, for example "4 / 10 used".
- After moving to a smaller plan, every field and its values are kept; you can't add another until you're under the limit.
Who sees what
- Everyone on the team sees and fills in the fields. Only managers and owners change the list.
- Contact fields are never sent to the AI assistant.
If something goes wrong
- Add field is greyed out, or "Your plan includes 10 active contact fields".
- Archive or delete a field you no longer need, or move to a bigger plan.
- "… is filled in for 3 contacts, so its type can't change."
- Create a new field with the type you need.
