Use Custom Values in Sparkforge Courses
Custom values let you personalize course content per learner inside Sparkforge. Use them in post descriptions, offers, and quiz questions to insert contact, time, course, or location data.
Custom values inside Sparkforge courses let you tailor content per learner. Anywhere a custom value is supported, the platform replaces the placeholder with real data when the learner views it.
Types of custom values
- Contact-specific — address learners by name or pull personal details.
- Time-based — adjust references to time zones or schedules.
- Course-specific — insert details like category titles or post titles for dynamic content.
- Location-specific — show region-specific content based on the learner's location.
Where to use them
Custom values render inside:
- Post descriptions
- Offers (in their description and elsewhere)
- Quiz questions
How to use a custom value
- Open the post, offer, or quiz question you want to personalize.
- Insert the custom value placeholder where you want the dynamic content.
- Save the content.
When a learner loads the page, Sparkforge replaces the placeholder with the matching data for that learner.
