Custom Fields

Context capture

Collect the details your team actually needs before a conversation begins

ZChat custom fields let you gather order numbers, account IDs, product selections, severity levels, and other business-specific details without bending your support process around a generic hosted form.

Qualify requests faster

Capture the data that tells your team what kind of problem or opportunity is about to enter the queue.

Route smarter

Use structured context to send visitors toward the operator or department that can help them fastest.

Keep context with the record

Custom inputs stay associated with the conversation so follow-up support is better informed.

Design the fields around your workflow

Ask for the information your team cares about instead of forcing customers through a one-size-fits-all support form.
