Tags are a great way to segment and label your contact list for simple and efficient organization.
Based on the information you have on your contacts, you will know exactly how to approach them in your campaigns.
Before you start creating your tags, make sure to read this article and familiarize yourself with the tags feature.
Create and Apply a Tag
Create and Apply a Tag – From the Tags tab
To create a new, predefined tag that you can apply to contacts later, follow these steps.
Go to the Tags tab
Click on Add tag
Enter Tag name - You can use both upper-case and lower-case letters and your tag can have up to 100 characters, both letters and numbers
Choose the Tag color - You can choose between 16 predefined colors, and the same color can be assigned to multiple tags
Click on Add
The new tag will be shown in the list.
*** NEW*** Create and Apply a Tag through .CSV upload:
If your contacts already have some tags you can import them through CSV file upload.
Prepare your CSV file:
The CSV file should contain a Tag(s) column, upper T letter is required because it’s case sensitive.
Make sure to have only tag names in the column, if you have multiple tags for contacts those should be separated with commas.

3. Click on Add via CSV button
4. Map all the fields and make sure to map the Tags column with the appropriate (Tags) field in Autoklose
