How To Edit & Use Custom Values [Quick Version]

Custom values is one of the best parts of Fern CRM because it let’s you create short snippets of code to use on webpages, emails, text messages, contracts, invoices, and oh so many places that you can instantly update EVERYWHERE by changing the value in ONE PLACE.

If that’s confusing right now, trust me you’ll fall in love with it soon enough!

If you followed the scavenger hunt when you first joined Fern CRM, you would’ve filled out a form inside your Fern CRM account to turn your brand details into custom values:

This form automatically updates some of the Custom Values in your Fern CRM account.

You can find those magical values, edit them, add new ones, delete the ones you don’t want, etc. by going to the Custom Values section of your Settings dashboard.

Click on “Branding” to open that folder. Inside, you’ll see a list of custom values.

If you filled out the Branding Form inside your NEWFERN funnel, then your custom values will have something in the “value” column like this:
