How to Use Custom Values in Sparkforge Calendars

Custom Values let you insert your own data — meeting links, salesperson names, internal notes — into Sparkforge calendar fields using merge fields. The values now appear in the merge-field selector across Calendars, Services, and Rentals.

Where Custom Values work

Use Custom Values in any calendar field that accepts merge fields:

• Appointment Title
• Meeting Location (Custom)
• Email notifications
• SMS reminders
• Workflow messages triggered by appointments

Create a Custom Value first

1. Go to Settings → Custom Values.
2. Click New Custom Value.
3. Enter a name and the value.
4. Click Save.

The value is now available in the merge-field selector.

Use a Custom Value in a calendar

1. Go to Calendars and open or create a calendar.
2. Open Calendar Settings.
3. Click into a text field, like Appointment Title or Notification.
4. Click the { } merge-field icon.
5. Scroll to Custom Values or search for the value name.
6. Select it. It inserts as a token, for example {{custom_values.your_key}}.
7. Click Save.
8. Book a test appointment to confirm the value renders correctly.

Why this matters

• Personalize confirmations and reminders without copy-paste.
• Keep messaging consistent across appointment types.
• Reduce manual updates when meeting links or rep names change — update the Custom Value once, every calendar follows.
