Updated over 3 months ago

Who This Is For / When to Use

Use this when you want a single custom value to output formatted, multi-line text instead of one continuous line (for example: addresses, signatures, disclaimers, or formatted messages).


What Makes Multi-Line Custom Values Work

Kyrios custom values support basic HTML formatting.


To create line breaks, you must use the HTML line break tag:

<br>

Each <br> creates a new line when the custom value is rendered.


Step 1: Add a New Custom Value

  1. Go to Settings.

  2. Select Custom Values.

  3. Click New Custom Value in the top-right corner.


Step 2: Enter the Name and Multi-Line Value

  1. Enter a Name for the custom value.

  2. In the Value field, type your content.

  3. Insert <br> wherever you want a line break.

    Example value:

    This is line one<br> This is line two<br> This is line three

  4. (Optional) Select a Folder to organize the custom value.

  5. Click Create.


Step 3: Use and Test the Custom Value

You can now insert the custom value anywhere custom values are supported.

Example: Testing in an Email

  1. Open a contact record.

  2. Start a new email.

  3. Click the Custom Values (tag) icon in the message editor.

  4. Search for and insert your custom value.

When sent or previewed, each <br> will render as a new line.


Where You Can Use Multi-Line Custom Values

Multi-line custom values work anywhere custom values are supported, including:

  • Emails

  • SMS messages

  • Funnels & Websites

  • Forms

  • System templates


Common Issues and Fixes

Line Breaks Are Not Working

  • Make sure you used <br> (not /br, <br/>, or pressing Enter).

  • Confirm the custom value is rendered in an HTML-supported field (plain text fields may not render formatting).

Extra Spacing Appears

  • Each <br> creates a single line break. Remove extra <br> tags if spacing looks incorrect.
