Managing Customer Data with Custom Fields in ChatSyncs
How to see and store customer context right inside the conversation, so an agent never has to ask a customer to repeat themselves.
On this page
In ChatSyncs, the Chat Actions panel keeps everything about the customer right next to the conversation, so an agent has full context before replying.
Quick Actions#

One-click shortcuts: Pause Bot, Pause AI, Google Meet, Custom Field, Assign Agent, Messaging Window, Add Label, Add Note, and Start Flow.
Click See More to expand the grid further — Send Flow, Add Label, Assign Team, Add Sequence, Custom Field, Messaging Window, and Google Meet — plus a ⋮ overflow menu with a few less-common actions:

- Unsubscribe — opt the customer out of future broadcasts and sequences.
- Reset User Input Flow — clear their progress through an in-progress Input Flow so it starts over from the beginning.
- Reset Appointment — clear a booked appointment tied to this conversation.
- Clear Chat History — permanently delete the visible message history for this conversation.
Customer Snapshot#

A quick summary: the customer's Email, Last Seen time, which Bot Name/number the conversation came through, and the Assigned Agent.
Engagement Score#

An overall score plus Messages Sent, Replies Received, Broadcast Opened, and Interaction Rate — a quick read on how engaged this customer is.
Messaging Window#

Shows whether the conversation is inside or outside WhatsApp's 24-hour customer service window. Once it shows Outside 24H Window, you need an approved Message Template to message the customer again — a plain text reply won't go through.
Custom Fields and Customer Journey#
- Assigned Custom Fields / Custom Fields — attach predefined fields (e.g. Product Interest, Budget, Preferred Language) or other customer-specific data (Company Name, Order Number, Lead Source) to this conversation.

- Customer Journey — the customer's subscription status and opt-in source.

- View Full Profile — opens the complete customer profile with full interaction history.
Labels live in the same panel too — you don't need to leave the conversation and go to Subscriber Manager to tag a customer or fill in their custom fields:

Right from this same Chat Actions panel, an agent can add or remove a Label, add the conversation to a List, enroll it in a Message Sequence, and assign a Custom Field — all without switching screens. See Labels for how labels work in more detail.
Real example — an order-tracking conversation with everything filled in at once:

- Customer Journey —
Status: Subscribed (2nd Jul 26 09:46),OPT-IN Through: DIRECT. - Custom Fields —
Customer name: Rahul Sharma,Estimated Delivery: Mumbai,Order ID: Lakshit Ukani,Product: Delivered,Status: Shipped,Tracking ID: TRK654321.
With this filled in, an agent opening the conversation can see the customer's order status and tracking number at a glance, without asking the customer to repeat themselves or looking it up in a separate system.
Frequently asked#
A customer's chat hasn't replied in a while — why can't I just send a text?
Check the Messaging Window in the Chat Actions panel. If it shows Outside 24H Window, WhatsApp requires an approved Message Template before you can message the customer again.
Where do I see a customer's order details or other saved data during a chat?
Under Custom Fields / Assigned Custom Fields in the Chat Actions panel — any predefined field (order ID, budget, product interest) shows right there.
How do I tell how engaged a customer is before replying?
Check the Engagement Score in the Chat Actions panel — it summarizes messages sent, replies received, and interaction rate.
How do I stop a customer's stuck Input Flow or appointment booking?
Click See More in Quick Actions, then use the ⋮ overflow menu — Reset User Input Flow clears their progress through a form, and Reset Appointment clears a booked appointment tied to the conversation.
Can I permanently delete a conversation's message history?
Yes — Clear Chat History in the ⋮ overflow menu under Quick Actions. This can't be undone.
