Tags

Tags are used to group and categorise your contacts. You can even group your tags, so that within one group of contacts there can be subgroups. For example:

Customers:

• Active
• Failed
• Monthly newsletter
• Potential candidates

You will then be able to view a listing of all your "Customers", so all the customers with any of those sub-tags, or filter by an individual type of customer, say "Active".

Some things to know about Tags

• Tags can be assigned to a "parent tag" to give nesting
• Contacts can be given more than one Tag. The contact is not duplicated, they are simply linked to more than one Tag.
• Tags can have a colour
• Tags can be connected to MailChimp for email marketing segmentation

Add a New Tag

You will be setup with a selection of example tags for you to use straight away, but you can add, amend or remove them to make your own set of tags:

2. Click the Add a new Tag button or click the pencil icon next to any existing tag to edit it.
3. Enter a tag name.
4. If this is to be a sub-tag select the parent tag.
5. If you are using MailChimp you can automatically add contacts using this tag to a mailing list (you will need to connect with MailChimp first).
6. Specify whether you want contacts with this tag to be shown as "Dealers" on your website.
7. Select a colour for your tag.
8. Click Save tag.
