Using Custom Values in Calendars

Modified on: Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 11:27 PM

You can now use Custom Values directly inside Calendar settings to personalize appointment details, notifications, and booking experiences.


This allows you to insert your own data—such as meeting links, salesperson names, or internal notes—into calendar fields using merge fields.
