Subscriber Labels

Tags

Tags are the simplest way to save an important label about a subscriber and use the label later.

  • Apply tags from imports, forms, Magic Links, and automations.
  • Use tags to choose who receives broadcasts, sequence emails, and segments.
  • Keep source, interest, and stage labels easy to scan.

Practical Use

What This Feature Helps You Do

See the everyday task this feature supports and the small decisions it helps you avoid handling by hand.

Fast Organization

Tags work well for clear labels such as customer, trial, webinar, VIP, cold lead, or product interest.

Choosing Who Gets An Email

Send broadcasts and sequence emails to subscribers who have the right tags.

Signals For Follow-Up

A tag can start or change follow-up when something important happens.

When To Use This Feature

  • You need a simple label that is either true or false for a subscriber.
  • You want to track source, interest, stage, or behavior.
  • You need an easy rule for broadcasts, sequences, segments, or automations.

When This May Not Be The First Thing To Set Up

  • The subscriber detail can have many possible answers, such as country, plan, birthday, or company size.
  • You need dates, numbers, or text values that should be stored as custom fields.
  • You are using tags instead of a clear subscriber status or consent record.

Setup Steps

Simple Setup Steps

Follow these steps before you add more complex setup or automation.

  1. 1

    Name tags so you and your teammates will understand them later.

  2. 2

    Create source and interest tags before you publish forms or landing pages.

  3. 3

    Apply tags during import when the CSV already identifies the subscriber source.

  4. 4

    Use tags in segments and broadcasts only while the tags still have a clear meaning.

  5. 5

    Review stale tags from time to time, then remove tags that no longer help you make decisions.

Avoidable Problems

Common Mistakes To Avoid

Watch for these mistakes because they can make basic email setup and sending harder to troubleshoot.

Creating Duplicate Tags

Newsletter, newsletter-signup, and signed-up-newsletter can quickly become three tags for the same idea.

Using Tags For Everything

Tags are useful for labels. Custom fields are better for values such as plan name, renewal date, or location.

Never Removing Old Tags

Old email tags can make sending decisions confusing when nobody knows what the tags mean anymore.
