Custom fields are a great way to add extra information to a ticket, contact, profile, or user. Adding custom fields to your Trengo-inbox helps you gather extra information such as e.g. order numbers, license plates, or type of subscription. These fields all have a title and a field that can be filled in by the users in your Trengo account, customised per category.
Custom fields categories
Custom fields can be added as one of four categories, which can be found below.
๐ Ticket: Use this category to add information that is relevant to a specific conversation. Examples of these can be an order number, a link to a webpage, or a specific product.
