Adding custom fields to contacts

Any custom field that you add is automatically added to all contacts in your Contact List. This way, you do not have to fill in this field for every contact.

Sync custom fields from your contacts to Wix Forms to collect this information from your visitors from a form on your site.

To add a custom field:

  1. Go to Contacts in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click the More Actions icon at the top and select Custom fields.
  3. Click + Add New Field.
  4. Click the Field Type drop-down and select the type of content: Text, Number, Date, or URL
  5. Enter the name of the new field (e.g. "Date of Birth") in the Field Name field.
  6. Click Add.
