Tags are a powerful organizational tool that allows you to categorize and manage your calls, messages, or contacts efficiently within your system. By assigning tags to specific interactions, you can quickly identify patterns, prioritize follow-ups, and gain insights into your business communication.

Benefits of Using Tags

Tags provide several key advantages:

  • Organized Data: Tags help you group related calls or messages, making it easier to sort and filter information.
  • Efficient Follow-Ups: Quickly identify high-priority interactions, such as potential leads or customer support issues.
  • Customized Insights: Analyze tagged interactions to gain deeper insights into trends or performance.
  • Improved Team Collaboration: Ensure your team is on the same page by tagging interactions with shared categories like “Urgent,” “Sales,” or “Support.”

How Do Tags Work?

Tags function as customizable labels that you can apply to calls, messages, or contacts. For example:

  • A call from a new lead could be tagged as "Lead".
  • A message requiring follow-up could be tagged as "Follow-Up Needed".
  • A completed sale might be tagged as "Closed Deal".

You can assign one or multiple tags to an interaction, depending on your workflow.

Common Use Cases for Tags

  1. Sales Tracking: Tag calls by stage in the sales funnel, such as "Prospect," "Negotiation," or "Closed."
  2. Customer Support: Use tags like "Issue Resolved" or "Pending" to track customer inquiries.
  3. Marketing Campaigns: Tag interactions by campaign to measure performance, such as "Black Friday Promo" or "Summer Sale."
  4. Team Collaboration: Assign tags like "Escalation" or "Callback Required" for internal coordination.

Step 2: Apply Tags to Calls, Messages, or Contacts

You can assign tags during or after an interaction:
