Bevatel supports Custom Attributes other than standard data attributes (a default set of data about your conversations/contacts like Name, Email, Location, etc.). A Custom Attribute tracks facts about your contacts/conversations. The Custom Attribute can be anything, E.g.:
Subscription plan
Subscribed date
Signup date
Most ordered item
Ordered product link
Last transaction date
The only difference between custom and standard attributes is standard data attributes automatically get updated.
Custom data attributes are the information you attached to conversations/customers, like how many times they've ordered a product when they sign up, or what plan they're on. So you can set whatever attributes you want to understand your customer/conversation better, and it will all show in Bevatel.
To add a new Custom Attribute, navigate to the Custom Attributes by clicking on Settings (1) -> Custom Attributes (2) from the sidebar.
Click on the Add Custom Attributes (3) button available on the top right corner of the page, which will open a modal as shown below.
These are the inputs required to create the Custom Attribute:
| Input | Description |
|---|---|
Display name | Act as a label while rendering a Custom Attribute |
Description | Description about the Custom Attribute |
Type | Type of data it will store. Currently supports Text, Number, Link, and Date |
Key | Unique identifier attached to the Custom Attribute |
You cannot create a Custom Attribute with the same key twice in the account.
Once you enter the details, click on the Create button. A message "Custom Attribute added successfully" will be displayed if the request is successful.
