Invitee questions are the questions that are going to be displayed on your scheduler form, for the lead to fill out.
Event Custom fields, or custom Invitee Questions are actually secondary questions you can customize, and that will appear in the scheduler after the lead filled out the primary questions, such as phone number or email and name.
For Business/Enterprise plan accounts, all Invitee Questions will be saved as Event Custom Field, and available in Tracking menu.
This additional menu helps you with full overview of all created invitee questions, ensures you're not adding duplicates since previously saved custom questions can be used across all events.
On top of that, you can see data from Event Custom Fields in Global Data columns, to filter them and analyze your data in more detail.
Overview
Navigate to Tracking → Event Custom Fields and check out the information you'll be able to see on the screen:
Invitee question
Is the Invitee Question assigned to any of your Events
Field format type
(see the full list of field types in the section below)Date when the field has been created
Use Count refers to number of times the field has been used
Merge field option, for removing duplicates while keeping the data collected
Edit field option for updating all information inside the field, except the field type
Alternatively you can create Custom Invitee Questions from the Event Builder → Invitee Questions section, but we highly recommend creating them in Tracking menu, where you can see already created fields, which will help you avoid creating duplicates.
Important Notes
Tracking → Custom Fields is accessible to Super Admin and Sales Manager roles by default.
Also, kindly note that there's no "delete custom field" option, since it's important to keep all of your historical data intact. Merging duplicates solves most of the issues, by removing duplicated entries, while keeping all data in place.
