What Are Contact Tags?

Contact tags are labels you can assign to customer records to help you categorize, organize, and manage your contacts with ease. 

Often used in CRM systems, contact tagging allows teams to segment users based on behavior, status, or campaign relevance. Whether you’re grouping leads, flagging VIPs, or marking campaign lists, tags give you more control over customer segmentation and personalized engagement.

How Does Contact Tagging Work?

Contact tagging works by adding labels, such as “Hot Lead” or “Cold Prospect,” directly to a contact’s profile in your CRM or phone system. These tags make it easy to filter, search, and segment contact lists based on status, priority, or campaign relevance. 

With smart contact tagging in call centers, your team can quickly identify and reach the right people—streamlining targeted communication and improving efficiency across the board.

What are contact tags in a CRM?

Contact tags are customizable labels that help categorize and segment contacts based on attributes like behavior, status, or preferences, enhancing organization and targeting.

How do contact tags differ from contact types?

Contact types define a contact’s primary role (e.g., customer, lead), while tags offer flexible, multi-faceted categorization for more nuanced segmentation.

How can I use tags for customer segmentation?

Assign tags based on criteria like purchase history, location, or engagement level to create targeted groups for personalized marketing and communication.

Can contact tags trigger automated actions?

Yes, tags can initiate workflows such as sending follow-up emails, assigning tasks, or updating contact statuses, streamlining processes and saving time.

How do I manage tags in bulk?

Most CRMs allow bulk tag management, enabling you to add, edit, or remove tags from multiple contacts simultaneously for efficient organization.

Are contact tags visible to all team members?

Typically, yes. Tags are shared across the CRM, ensuring all team members have consistent information for collaboration and communication.

Can I delete or rename tags without affecting data?

Deleting a tag removes it from all associated contacts, but doesn’t delete the contacts themselves. Renaming a tag updates it across all linked records.
