How to Add Custom Questions to Your SignUp
Collect the Exact Details You Need, Right in the Sign Up Form
Last Updated June 17, 2026
SignUp automatically collects names, emails, and phone numbers — but sometimes you need more. Custom questions let you gather exactly the information your event requires, right inside the sign-up form. Basic accounts include one custom question; Premium plans allow 2 to 15 depending on your plan level.
How to Add Custom Questions
- Open your SignUp and go to the Details tab in your Organizer view.
- Scroll to Custom Participant Questions and click the blue Add/Manage button.
- Choose from your existing question library or click Add New Question to create one.
- Pick your field type — List (dropdown), Radio Button, Checkbox, Number, Text, or Date.
- Mark it required or optional, add a help comment if it needs context, then save.
- Use the checkboxes to select which questions appear on this specific SignUp.
Answers show up in your reports whenever you log in with organizer credentials — easy to review, export, and act on.
A Few Things Worth Knowing
- Participants answer custom questions once per signup, not once per spot. Keep questions relevant to the overall event.
- Once created, questions are saved to your library and available to reuse across all future SignUps.
- To remove a question from a SignUp without losing it permanently, uncheck it rather than deleting it. Deleting removes the question from all signups and erases all associated answers.
