Custom Field - Contacts
In the top right corner of your Sprinthub screen, click the icon of ⚙️ System settings. in the dropdown menu, choose Custom Fields – Contacts.
You will be taken to the main screen of Custom Fields – Contacts, where all fields already available for your leads are listed.
Understanding the main screen
In the fields list you will see the columns:
First name: the label that appears to the user.
Type: defines the data format (Text, Email, Phone, CPF, State, Country etc.).
Alias: technical name, automatically generated from the “Name”, used internally in integrations and APIs.
Group: category to which the field belongs (for example, “Personal Data”, “Primary” etc.).
Required: indicates (with a asterisk) that the user must fill in this field when creating or editing a lead.
Unique Identifier: when checked, indicates that the value of this field will be used to detect lead duplicates and allow merging or ignoring repeated records.
Actions: edit/delete buttons.
What each setting is for
Required Required fields ensure that essential information (such as Email or CPF) is always filled in before creating a lead.
Unique Identifier Prevents duplicate leads: when importing or creating new records, Sprinthub checks this field and, if the value already exists, suggests merging with the previous lead or discarding the creation.
Alias It is the field’s “code name” within the system and in automations via API. You do not need to edit it manually: it is automatically generated from the readable name.
Group Groups fields by area of interest. Besides visually organizing the lead form, each group can have its own color and icon to facilitate identification.
How to create a new custom field
Click the + New, in the top left corner of the Custom Fields screen.
In the Settingssection, fill in:
First name: text that the user will see when filling out the lead.
Type: choose the desired data format (free text, number, date, email, phone, CPF etc.).
Group: select the existing category. If you want, click the pencil icon next to the group to change color and emoji that will identify this set of fields.
Alias: will be filled automatically; no need to edit.
Default Value: optional option to pre-load a value when the lead is created (useful for status or fixed source fields).
In Modifiers (on the left), enable:
Required? to force completion.
Unique Identifier? to use this field in deduplication logic.
After adding all the information, click Save.
The new group will appear on the left side of the lead screen, and inside it all the fields you added.
