Creating and managing account fields

Account fields store custom information at the account level — values that apply globally across your entire Hubhus installation and can be referenced in emails, automations, booking forms, and templates.

TL;DR

Go to Account → Account fields. Click New account field, give it a name (slug is auto-generated), choose type (Text or Checkbox), and set a default value. Use the placeholder <hh-account.fields slug="your-slug" /> anywhere in templates. Update values with the edit icon — changes take effect everywhere instantly.

Get started in 4 steps

Open Account fields

Go to Account → Account fields. The table shows all existing fields with their Name, Slug, Placeholder, Type, and current Value.

Create a new field

Click New account field. Enter a descriptive name (e.g. "Vacation from", "Is feature enabled"). The slug is auto-generated from the name. Choose a field type: Text for dates, strings, or numbers — Checkbox for boolean yes/no flags. Set a default value if relevant.

Use the placeholder in templates

The Placeholder column shows the syntax to use in email templates, automation messages, and booking form content:

<hh-account.fields slug="vacation-from" />

Hubhus substitutes this with the field's current value at send time, across all campaigns.

Update values centrally

Click the yellow edit icon next to any field to update its value. The new value is immediately available everywhere the placeholder is used. Use this to update vacation dates, toggle features on/off, or change global announcements — without touching individual campaign templates.

Account fields vs other field types

Field type	Scope	Use when...
Account fields	Whole account	Data applies to the entire organization (vacation period, feature flag)
User fields	Per user	Data is specific to an individual (employee number, personal vacation)
Campaign fields	Per campaign	Data is specific to a campaign (pricing, local contact info)
Lead/Data fields	Per lead	Data collected from or about a specific customer/booking

Editing or deleting field definitions

Click the yellow edit icon to change a field's name, type, or default value. Click the red delete icon to permanently remove a field. Note: deleting a field removes the stored value and breaks any template or automation using that field's placeholder. Always check usage before deleting.
