Structures

Types of Structures

• Form Structure – defines the fields collected when a lead is created. Used in forms, APIs, and partner integrations.
• User Structure – defines the fields collected when users register or manage their account. Separate structures exist for Affiliate partners and Advertisers.
• Feed Structure – defines the format of product feeds (e.g. product name, price, availability) imported into PalDock and used in affiliate display or lead distribution.

Fields in Structures

• Global fields – predefined system fields used across all workspaces (e.g. First Name, Email).
• Local fields – workspace-wide fields created by admins, reusable across multiple structures.
• Custom fields – fields created directly inside one structure, specific to that structure.

Advanced Options

• Field settings – define labels, placeholders, default values, and visibility rules.
• Validation – enforce correct data formats or check values against external services.
• AutoFill – automatically enrich fields with data from other fields or external sources.
• Modify Field – transform or reformat field values before storing or sending them.
• Translations – localize field labels and placeholders into multiple languages.

⚠️ Validation and Autofill are powerful features, but because they rely on external services, a misconfiguration can break the entire system – preventing the form from being submitted and the lead from being created.

Why Structures Matter

• Consistent data formats across workspaces and integrations, making field mapping much easier.
• Reusability of fields and forms without repetitive setup.
• Smooth integration with external systems.
• Flexibility to adapt forms, user registrations, and product feeds to business needs.
