Creating a Custom Content Type
Looking to create a new type of content that you don’t see included in the builder? For any type of content where you want a different label to appear on the content card (beyond workout, meal, exercise, program, article, etc.), you can create a custom content type. You can re-use that content type anytime you want to create another new ‘sound’ or ‘podcast’ for example, allowing you to quickly build many ‘pieces’ of the same content type and maintain consistency with styling and layout.
HOW to create a custom content type:
Click the a ‘+Create New’ button at the top of the white lefthand sidebar, just below your account name.
Scroll down past the pre-existing content types and click the ‘+ Add Content Type’ option.
💡 Note: Any custom content type you create will appear in your content library (in the black lefthand sidebar navigate to Create > Content) and will behave like one of our built-in content types.
3. An ‘Add Content Type’ modal will appear where you have the option to choose from some other common content types that we have prebuilt to add to your app, or create a custom content type.
4. In this case we want to create our own content type, so under the ‘Create Custom Content Type’ heading, give your Custom Content Type a name. You can also change the icon of your Custom Content Type by clicking on the folder icon and selecting from the library of available icons.
5. If you expand the ‘Advanced’ heading, you can choose if you want your content type to be single or multi paged by default. Once you have done this and have named your content type, hit the purple ‘Create’ button.
6. Hit the ‘+Create Sound’ button
7. A modal will appear where you can choose to pick a template from our template library (or start with a blank page) to build your first ‘Sound’ with.
8. Here we will choose an ‘Audio’ focussed template from our template library , but you could choose from any template you like in our entire template library or from your recent or custom templates .
💡 Note: If you need a refresher on how to create a template, check out our article.
9. Give this ‘New Sound’ a name then hit ‘Create’.
10. You will be dropped into the builder where you can modify this new sound however you like, save it as a template, or create a new sound.
11. When you’re ready, you can add pages created in this custom content type to content blocks throughout your app, assign them to your members, and schedule them, just like any other page.
💡 Example: Here’s an example of another custom content type we set up for multi-day events where you don’t want a registration on the page:
