Map Custom Fields from Google Workspace to Xink

Short answer:
You can map custom fields from Google Workspace Directory to Xink by creating the field in Google, then adding it in Xink using the correct schema format.

This guide explains how to map custom fields from Google Workspace Directory to Xink so the values can be used in email signatures.

Custom fields are useful when you want to include additional employee information that is not available in standard Google Workspace Directory fields.

Example: Create a custom field called Hobby in Google Workspace Directory and map it in Xink to display it in email signatures.

Step-by-step: Map a custom field

  1. Create the custom field in Google Workspace Directory.
    In this example, the field is called Hobby.


  2. Go to Xink > Preferences > Fields and create a new field using this format:

    customField_CUSTOM_SCHEMA_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME

    Example:

    customField_employeeInfo_hobby

    Where:

        employeeInfo = schema name
        hobby = field name


Important

The schema name and field name must exactly match the values defined in Google Workspace Directory.

If the field does not appear in the signature, verify:

  • The schema name
  • The field name
  • That the user has a value entered

Next step

After mapping the custom field, you can use it in your Xink email signature template like any other field.
