## Use custom attributes values
You can also send the SDK custom attribute values for custom attributes enabled in Kustomer. 
**Always** use the attribute name instead of the Display Name listed in the Klasses editor (**Settings > Platform > Klasses**) in Kustomer. The attribute name will always be formatted in camelCase or PascalCase without spaces and also describes the data type for the attribute.
For example, if a custom attribute has a Display Name of "Avg Sat Score" and has a number data type, then the name may appear as `AvgSatScoreNum`. You would use `AvgSatScoreNum`, the system name for the custom attribute, with the SDK. 
Activate custom attributes for the Customer klass
To update custom attributes, ensure you have the custom attribute key-value pairs activated for the Customer klass on the Kustomer platform. To edit or view custom attributes for the Customer klass, go to **Settings** and select** Platform > Klasses > Customer**. 
To learn more, see [Define custom attribute in Kustomer](🔗﻿) in the Kustomer Help Center.

Always send in the system name for custom attributes and check that the attribute is activated in the Klasses editor.
