Custom Contact and Account Fields Allow You to Capture More Useful Standardized Data on Your Prospects and Leverage it in Messaging and Reporting
Custom fields can be created for Contacts, Accounts, and/or Users of your Apollo App. They're comprised of specific data types: single- or multi-line text, numbers, dates, date/times, checkboxes, picklists, or mutli-select picklists (with predefined selections) for searchability and standardization of your data. You can also map custom field data to sync to and from Salesforce.
Additionally, you can bulk-set Custom Fields within Apollo. For example: you can mark a large number of Accounts as being a specific vertical at once, which you can then search and filter for.
