Save what a customer says to their contact

2 min readFor adminsVerified 24 Oct 2026

So that what a customer tells your automation — their name, their address, the pack they chose — is on their contact for your team and for the next message.

1Choose what goes where

Add Contacts → Save contact field and open it. Pick what data (1) — a reply, what SkedX already knows, or a value you type — then which field (2). + Add a mapping (3) saves more in the same step. Run up to here (4) tries it with a real chat.

Common questions

Can I save only if they answered Yes?

Not on this step yet. Put a branch before it on the reply you want, and the save on that branch.

Where do I see the saved value?

On the contact (Contacts, or the side panel of the chat), under the field you picked.

What is a new order number?

A fresh number each time the step runs — the date and that day’s count (261019-001). Later steps read it as the order number.
