Custom Fields Now Work with the Chat Widget

Last month, we launched Custom Fields for Tickets, so your team could capture structured data right inside every conversation.

Today, we’re taking that one step further.

You can now add custom fields to your chat widget’s contact form – giving you richer insights before a ticket is even created.

✨ What’s New

This means less back-and-forth, better routing, and faster resolutions.

  • Select up to 5 custom fields to include in your chat widget’s contact form
  • Field types supported: dropdown, text input, and toggle
  • Your visitors will fill these out before submitting a message
  • All responses appear directly in the ticket sidebar

💡 Use it to:

Setup is easy — just head to Neo → Open chat widget → Home Widgets → Contact Form → Custom Fields, toggle on what you need, and go live.

  • Ask for order numbers, product areas, account URLs, or custom tags
  • Auto-assign tickets based on dropdown selections
  • Collect key info before your team even replies
