Overview
When your form uses an SSO login page, you can pull in custom attributes from your identity provider — such as department, role, or cost center. Use these attributes to pre-fill fields, add conditional logic, or personalize the form experience.SSO custom attributes require the Enterprise Plan with SSO configured. Your form must have a login page set to the SSO verification type.
Enable custom attributes
Open the login page settings
In the form editor, select your Login page step. In the left-hand panel, make sure the Verification type is set to
SSO.Open the Custom attributes section
Below the SSO status, expand the Custom attributes section. You’ll see a list of all discovered attribute names from your identity provider.
Custom attributes are automatically discovered from actual SSO logins. At least one SSO user must have signed in to a form in your organization for attributes to appear. Click the refresh button to re-scan after new users have logged in.
Use custom attributes in your form
Once enabled, custom attributes appear as references under the Login page in the reference picker — alongside the standard Email, First Name, and Last Name fields. You can use them anywhere that supports the reference picker:- Pre-fill fields — Auto-fill a text field with the user’s department or role. Learn more about pre-filling fields.
- Conditional logic — Show or hide questions based on attribute values, e.g. display a section only for users in the “Engineering” department. Learn more about page logic.
- Calculations and answer piping — Reference attributes in calculations or answer piping.
Attribute values are refreshed every time a user logs in via SSO. If a user’s department changes in your identity provider, the updated value will appear the next time they sign in.
