Tags

Tags are a helpful way to sort and categorize your calls and form submissions. Each company in your account has its own set of tags that can be created, edited, and color-coded to help you sort your data faster. 

Tags can be for specific companies in your account, or can apply to the whole account when created by an administrator. If you want to create an account-level tag, you can use this help article instead.

Account-level tags.

Getting started

There’s no limit on how many tags you’re able to add to a company. You can also assign multiple tags to a single call or form.

Editing a tag will change the tag in every place it’s currently assigned. Removing a tag will remove it automatically from any call flow and phone call it’s been assigned to. However, integration triggers and automation rules using a tag will need to be manually updated when a tag is removed.

Creating tags 

Follow the instructions below to configure tags for a specific company in your account. 

1. Click Settings icon on the left navigation bar.
   
   
2. Choose the company where you'd like to use tags.
   
   
3. Click Workflow at the top of the page.
   
   
4. Choose Tags from the Manage header on the left.
   
   
5. You’ll see a list of pre-populated tags. You can create, edit, or delete any of these tags. To add more tags, click + Add Tag at the bottom of the list.
   
   
6. Click Save at the bottom of the page to save your changes.

Deleting tags 

Follow the instructions below to delete tags for a specific company in your account.

Please note: deleting a tag will remove it from all previous interactions that have been tagged with that specific tag.

1. Click the Settings icon on the left navigation bar.
   
   
2. Choose the company where you'd like to use tags.
   
   
3. Click Workflow at the top of the page.
   
   
4. Choose Tags from the Manage header on the left.
   
   
5. Choose the tag you want to delete and click the Delete icon. This deletes the tag from all the call flows and phone calls that it's been applied to in your account.
   
   
6. To delete several tags at once, click the checkbox next to each tag you want to delete.
   
   
7. Click Actions at the top right and choose delete.

Color coding tags

Applying colors to each of your tags lets you quickly differentiate between the types of calls and forms you receive. By default, the background color of any tag is gray, but you can choose different colors for each set of tags in each company. Once a color has been assigned to a tag, all assigned tags will update to reflect the new color.

1. From the Tags page (Follow Steps 1 through 5 from the Creating Tags section above.), select the pencil icon to edit the tag whose color you'd like to change.
   
   
2. Choose the color you'd like to apply to that tag.
   
   
   
   
3. Click Save to update your settings.

Adding the tag column to your activity dashboard

In order to see a call’s tag on your activity dashboard, you’ll want to ensure the Tag column has been added to your dashboard.

1. Select Activity at the top of the page.
   
   
2. Click Edit Columns from beneath the call graph.
   
   
3. Select the Tag Checkbox, under Classification.
