Use this interactive demo to learn how to add custom fields to a ConvertKit signup form.

Quick summary

Adding custom fields in ConvertKit lets you collect extra subscriber data directly through your signup form, enabling smarter segmentation and personalized email campaigns. This tutorial walks through every step — from creating a new form to saving a required custom field inside the form editor.


Steps

  1. Log in to ConvertKit and click '+ Create a new' from the dashboard.
  2. Select 'Form' from the creation options.
  3. Select a display format for your new form.
  4. Click the add icon in the form editor to add a custom field.
  5. In the form editor, click on an existing field to open its settings.
  6. Select a field from the available field options.
  7. Check the 'Required' box to make the field mandatory for subscribers.
  8. ConvertKit automatically saves the new field — click 'Save' to apply all changes.

📌 Why this matters

Custom fields in ConvertKit allow email marketers to capture specific subscriber data — such as industry, role, or preferences — directly within signup forms, enabling precise list segmentation from the very first touchpoint. By marking fields as required, creators ensure they always collect the data needed to personalize campaigns and automate targeted sequences. This feature is essential for any creator or business using ConvertKit to move beyond basic email blasts and deliver relevant, high-converting content to the right audience.
