Custom fields in Agorapulse are designed to streamline the process of scheduling identical content across multiple profiles—without the hassle of rewriting each post. By inserting pre-defined values—like names, dates, locations, or signatures—directly into your post content, you can customize each post just enough while keeping your messaging consistent.
Please Note: Custom fields are available for Advanced and Custom subscription plans. If you would like to change your plan to access this feature, feel free to reach out to us here.
