Custom values are placeholders for storing and managing specific information in a system. They help organize and retrieve data efficiently. In the context of AgentMoves, they store personalized details like contact info and preferences, allowing businesses to customize and personalize communications to better engage with customers. 

For example, an email template can say "Hey {{ contact.name }}" and AgentMoves will auto-populate the name of the contact so you can send a personal email to a group of contacts or through an ongoing campaign that leads are consistently being added to.

Here are some common examples of custom values you may use in AgentMoves:

• Contact > Full name: {{ contact.name }}

• Contact > First name: {{ contact.first_name }}

• Contact > Last name: {{ contact.last_name }}

• Contact > Email: {{ contact.email }}

• Contact > Phone: {{ contact.phone }}

• Contact > Company name: {{ contact.company_name }}
