What is the Real-Time Customizer?

The real-time customizer makes setting up new websites for your clients easier and faster than before. The Real-Time Customizer enables you to add additional fields to the site launching process, whose data can be injected into the newly launched site. This saves on the tedious work of replacing emails, names, addresses and other common variables. The real-time customizer only works with your custom blueprints, and not with ones from our public Blueprint library.

The real-time customizer is currently only available when launching sites from the Hub. Using the real-time customizer from the control panel is coming soon.
