Regardless of your use case, it makes sense to want to have passes with information or content that is specific to different users. This information can include (but is not limited to) their name, identification number, specific affiliate link, or QR code for event access. Fortunately, this can easily be added to your pass using Dynamic Fields.

When on the Pass Editor page, notice the lightning bolt ⚡️ button that appears on the right of every pass field (this applies to fields on the Front and Back). Clicking on this button opens that dropdown with different Dynamic Fields that are available to add to your pass. Email will be available by default. If you don't see what you want to add to your pass, you have an option to add Custom Attributes by using the Badge API (coming soon) or uploading a CSV.

After selecting a Dynamic Field, the lightning bolt tab of the Pass Preview Toolbar will be highlighted in yellow, indicating that you have applied at least one Dynamic Field to the pass. Clicking on this tab will reveal the ability to add test data to populate the Dynamic Field(s) added to your pass. Note how Dynamic Fields in the Pass Preview are underlined to help you distinguish them from static fields—just make sure you switch back to the Apple or Android tabs in the Pass Preview Toolbar to get back to previewing the pass again.

Of course, there's nothing like actually installing a real pass on your phone. We suggest that you take on the role of your user and install a pass as they would (after signing up through your invite link that can be copied from the Passes page). This will allow you to view real, live data. Please note that if you're auto-provisioning passes with our API, you will have to trigger a pass to be issued to you from your system.
