On Moosend, hidden fields are created using the custom fields feature. The custom fields are created from the Email list.

  • Select Custom field is hidden
  • Click Save custom field

You have now created the channel hidden field.

Create the rest of the hidden fields following the same process and write the information below (the Channel field was included for visibility, don’t add it twice):

You are all set!
