Overview

A tag is a description for a collection of contacts, categorized by their interests, preferences, information, or upload criteria.

Tags can be used to:

• Create Segments to message
• Send Campaigns to Segments

To manage your tags, while logged into into your Voxie account, locate the navigation bar at the top of the screen. Click on the tab titled Contacts and select the first option in the dropdown, Tags.

Tags screen is pretty simple, is basically a list with all the Tags used in Contacts, with the ability to be deleted

Creating a Tag

Tags can be created throughout different processes, such as:

Contact Import

In the context of Imports, there are two ways of adding Tags when Importing a File:

Importing Tags

To add tags to all contacts being imported from a file, use the optional Tag box, where you will have the option of adding an existing tag or creating a new one.

Note: These steps must be done BEFORE you upload your file on the Import page:

• Existing Tag: To tag all contacts in an uploaded file with an existing tag, click the drop down under Select Existing Tags and choose the one(s) you want. Make sure to hit Enter to save the tags.

To import contacts with tags that apply selectively (i.e., not to all contacts in the file), create a column header of “@@tags@@” in your import file. Note: Microsoft Excel requires an apostrophe (‘) before the @@ characters.

• Write the tag names comma separated with no space: “tag1,tag2"

Important note: If there are any automations built in your Voxie team that trigger messages or other actions on a tag being added to a contact, these actions will fire immediately upon the list being imported.
