Managing Your Tags
When you login to your Dashboard and go to the Subscribers tab, you’ll see new options for tag management. Hooray!
In your subscribers list you’ll see a new column on the right side for “Tags.” You may or may not see a tag icon showing next to some of your subscribers. You’ll see the tag icon if you’ve previously added a tag to a subscriber. There is also a new “Manage Tags” button located in the top right that we’ll explain shortly.
Single tag – a quick visual that only one tag was added to the subscriber.
Double tag – a quick visual that you’ve added more than one tag to the subscriber.
If no tags have been added you’ll see a plus icon , you can click it to add a tag.
Quick View – If you see a tag icon on a subscriber and want to take a quick peek of what tag is tied to them, just take your mouse and hover over the tag in the column. You’ll see a little popup appear that lists the tag(s). How handy is that, no clicks involved!
Click Tag to Modify – If you’d like to modify the tag(s) added to a subscriber, simply click the tag icon and your tag editing options will become available. Use the check boxes available to edit the tags, or add a new tag, click save and you’re all set!

Create a Tag
There are a couple ways you can create a new tag. You may have seen the “Tags” field when adding a new subscriber. You can continue to enter a new tag in this field, or choose from your most frequently used tags. You’ll also find a new “Manage Tags” button at the top right of your Subscribers tab.
- After logging in to your Dashboard, click the Subscribers tab.
- Click the Manage Tags button, located top right of the page.
- Click Add New Tag then just type the name in the field.
- Click Save and you’ll see the new tag has been added to your list.
Tags created in “Manage Tags” will not be assigned to any subscribers. Any subscribers that you assign to a tag will show within the tag’s “view all” list. Once more than one subscriber has been assigned to a tag, you’ll then see the option to “Send Email” in the dropdown menu of the tag.
Delete a Tag
Need to delete a tag? No problem, its easy!
- After logging in to your Dashboard, click the Subscribers tab.

Deleting a tag will remove it from all subscribers associated with it. Don’t worry, no subscribers will be deleted in this process, only the tag.
