Default Fields

My Profile Default fields

Here, you can configure the section Title as well as the placeholders of the Name and Email fields. Please, note that the Update Profile button's Action is predefined and cannot be changed.

Moreover, you have the Avatar image field (we’ll discuss it shortly), which can be deleted in case you don't need it.

Additional Fields

If you've connected users to a data source with additional user parameters, you can add more fields to the User Profile block and link them to these parameter fields in your data source, so that your users are able to edit those as well. If there's no data source connected yet, you'll see a Create Data Source button, which you can use to connect one. Let's examine this on a specific example.

Let's say our users are company employees that have a Position within the company. To account for that, we have an additional Position field in our users Airtable along with its different options.

So, on the User Profile block, we can create a new field and link it to the Position field on Airtable.
