Create, edit, and delete custom fields on a contact record

You can create custom fields for your contact and company records. Keap Lite and Pro customers can create up to 100 custom fields for contact records, while Keap Max customers can create 150 contact custom fields. All customers can also create up to 100 custom company fields, which are distinct from your contact custom fields. For more information about custom company fields, click here.

You can also create, edit, and delete all your contact and company custom fields in the custom fields management settings.

The field type you choose should correspond with the type of data you want to store in a way that satisfies your end goal for the data (i.e. reporting, merge field, etc.). Below is a complete list of all field types that are available and a description of each.
