Create and use tags for your campaigns

Tags help you group and identify your email, SMS, WhatsApp, and Push campaigns based on custom criteria that matter to you, like audience segments, campaign goals, languages, or markets. You can use them across different types of campaigns to keep everything organized and easy to find.

What are tags?

Tags are custom labels that help you better organize, filter, and analyze your campaigns. They can be used with email, SMS, WhatsApp, and Push campaigns, and you can assign multiple tags to a single campaign.

While folders let you group campaigns at a high level, tags provide a more detailed way to organize your content. Think of folders as your first level of organization, and tags as additional labels you can use to sort campaigns by criteria like audience, language, purpose, or market. This makes it easier to find specific campaigns later and to segment contacts based on their interactions with tagged campaigns.

➡️  For example
Keep all French campaigns in a “France” folder, but tag them individually by language (FR), audience (VIP, New Leads), and campaign type (Reactivation, Newsletter).

Expand the following accordion to view examples of tags you can use for your campaigns:
