Custom Object Templates: Pre-Built CRM Setup in One Click

Custom Object Templates let you create pre-built CRM object structures for common industries without building every object, field, folder, and association from scratch.

What Custom Object Templates Include

A Custom Object Template can include:

  • Custom Objects

  • Custom fields

  • Field folders

  • Record associations

  • Predefined object structures

Templates are designed to give you a starting point that you can customize after importing.


Supported Industry Templates

Current template categories include:

  • Automotive

  • Events

  • Home Services

  • Insurance

  • Pets

  • SaaS

  • Real Estate

Additional templates may become available over time.


How to Access Custom Object Templates

Go to Settings from the left navigation menu.

Open Objects from the Settings menu.

The Objects page displays your standard objects and existing Custom Objects.


How to Create a Custom Object from a Template

From the Objects page, click Add custom object.

Select Use a template, then click Continue.

Browse the available templates in the Template Library. Use categories, filters, tags, or search to find a matching template.

Select a template to preview its included objects, fields, folders, and associations.

Click Import objects to apply the template.


What Happens After Importing a Template

After importing:

  • The Custom Object structure is created automatically.

  • Included fields and folders are added.

  • Included associations are created.

  • You can immediately edit the imported objects.

Templates do not create customer records or sample data.


Template Library Visibility Controls

Administrators can manage Template Library visibility settings to control which template categories users can access. Restricting Template Library visibility may prevent users from browsing or importing templates. Objects already created from templates remain editable unless additional permissions are restricted.


Common Issues and Fixes

Template visibility permissions may be restricted by an administrator. Check whether your account has access to Custom Object Templates.


I imported a template but do not see records

Templates create CRM structure only. They do not generate contacts, companies, opportunities, or sample records.
