List of Default Contact Properties

This glossary is the full list of default properties that Gist automatically tracks and can be used both within Gist and our integrations. Included are the name of the property and a brief description. 

Note: The "key" for each property is the lowercase name of the property with an underscore (_) in any space. For instance, if the property is "Contact Type", the key would be "contact_type". You would use this in liquid content, like liquid email tags and liquid properties in live chat snippets and chat prompts.  

Using Properties

Properties allow for detailed tracking of what your customers and visitors are doing on your site. This information can be used to better: 

  • Market your business
  • Sell your products
  • Segment your audience

There are a number of different properties spread out into five categories:

  • Contact Properties
  • Analytic Properties
  • Email Information Properties
  • Conversion Properties
  • Stripe Properties

Note: Keep in mind this glossary will be updated as we add new properties and integrations.


Now, onto the glossary!
