Your certificate is now available in your library.
You can attach it to any training course or category.

Use custom values in your certificates

CrocoClick now allows you to insert dynamic custom fields directly into your certificate templates.

🎯 Why this is powerful

Previously, you could only insert standard fields such as first name, last name, or course name.

But now, you can also integrate any custom data stored in the contact file.

For example:

• Level of expertise

• Company name

• Subject area

• Final score, special badge, custom date, etc.

🛠️ How to insert them

1. Click on a text block in your certificate.

2. At the top, click on { } Custom values.

3. You will see 4 categories:

   • Contact (name, email, etc.)

   • User (internal)

   • Membership (course name, end date, etc.)

   • Right Now (today's date)

   • Custom values (your own fields)

4. Type the name of the custom field or select it from the list.
   → It will be displayed as {{ contact.nom_du_champ }}

Result: each student will have a completely unique certificate personalized according to their data.

⚠️ Best practices

• Test the display using the preview before publishing.

• Check that the fields are filled in for each contact (otherwise they will be empty in the PDF).

• Use clear and consistent field names in the CRM section of CrocoClick.
