With the Fields & Mappings feature of CloudFon Inbox, you can create additional fields that help give context to a ticket. These fields allow you to capture information and save it to a ticket. System fields are default, and custom fields can be created to serve your unique operational or business needs.
These are the types of custom fields available: Text, Text area, Email, URL, Radio button, Checkbox, Dropdown list, and Checkbox list.
You can create custom fields with any of these available field types and map them using mappings to fetch data.
