How does it work?

Each module in oboloo comes with unlimited custom fields slots that can be enabled and customised at any time. You can rename fields, choose the data type, and control where each field appears — whether in create/edit modals, overview cards, management tables, or exports. All custom field values are included in the oboloo API and can also be managed through integrations like Zapier. Everything is configured in Settings, making it fast and easy to adapt oboloo to your internal processes without developer support.

3. Manage values via UI, API, or Zapier

Custom fields automatically show wherever records are created, viewed, or managed.

The Benefits of Using Custom Fields

Flexibility to Match Your Process

Custom Fields let you tailor oboloo to your organisation’s internal workflows. Whether you need to track contract owners, supplier ratings, or savings categories, you can define the exact data points that matter — without any technical setup.

Consistency Across Teams and Modules

By using a shared field structure across Suppliers, Contracts, and Savings, your team can standardise how data is captured, displayed, and reported. This ensures everyone is working from the same structured information set.

Integration-Ready for Automation and Reporting

Custom Fields are included in all relevant API endpoints and supported by Zapier, making it easy to automate workflows, sync data with other tools, and build custom reporting dashboards with the exact metrics you care about.
