Tags and Segments

    Label contacts so you can find and target them later.

    Add tags

    Tags are free-text labels on a contact, entered comma separated:

    vip, newsletter, mumbai
    

    Add them when creating or editing a contact, in a CSV import column, or automatically from an automation.

    Use them

    Filter the contacts list by tag to see a group, then act on it — add the group to a list, or send a campaign.

    Tags also drive automation: the Contact tagged trigger fires an automation the moment a specific tag is added. That is how tagging becomes a workflow rather than a filing system.

    Keeping tags useful

    • Agree on a convention. vip and VIP and v.i.p. are three tags.
    • Prefer lowercase, single words or hyphenated pairshigh-value, not High Value Customer.
    • Tag facts, not opinions. renewed-2026 stays true; happy does not.
    • Prune. A tag used once is noise.

    Tip — Before inventing a tag, check whether the fact is already recorded — a survey answer or a company name may be a better filter than a tag someone has to remember to apply.
