Attribute Properties
Each attribute has the following properties:- Name - The display name shown in the interface. This should be descriptive and easy to understand.
- ID - An identifier used in integrations and message templates. This field cannot be changed after creation and must contain only letters, numbers, and underscores.
- Description - An optional field that adds extra information about the attribute.
- Type - The data type that determines what kind of values the attribute can store. Available types include: Text, Number, Single-select, Date, and Date + Time.
Text
Text
Stores any text of any length. Ideal for descriptions, notes, addresses, and other text that doesn’t need specific formatting.
Number
Number
Only accepts numbers. Good for quantities, scores, amounts, ratings, and any data that needs calculations or number checks.
Single-select
Single-select
A dropdown field with predefined options. Each option can be assigned a color for easy identification. Ideal for lead status, deal stage, account type, industry, priority levels, and other categories that need consistent values across your contacts.
Date
Date
