Using Set a tag action

How to add a tag as an action in a workflow in Automation Builder!

Written by Mihir Lodhavia

A tag action can be very useful in Follow Up Boss. You can create smart lists to identify a set of leads qualifying a certain criteria, or trigger a different automation. Here's how to set a tag using Calls Created as the trigger:

  1. Open Automation Builder and click on Create New Workflow at the top right of the screen


    ​

  2. Enter Workflow Title and Description and click on Continue.
    ​

  3. Click to select a trigger for the workflow


    ​

  4. Select Follow Up Boss as the platform to connect

  5. Select call triggers


    ​

  6. Click on Calls Created

  7. Now, we need to test the trigger. Click on Test Trigger


    This is how the output looks, if the test is successful:


    If the test failed, please log into Follow Up Boss and log a call or make a new one, which would work as a test. Once done, wait for a few seconds and click on Test Trigger button again, and it should give a successful result.
    ​

  8. Select an action by clicking on Follow Up Boss

  9. Select an action of your choice. We will go forward by selecting Set Tag

  10. Click on '+' button to add one (or more) tags.

  11. After adding the Tag name, and click on Test Action.

  12. A successful test looks like this:

  13. Click on Save Workflow, and turn on the Workflow

You can now manually test the automation from Follow Up Boss. Contact support@interface.re if you have any questions!

PRO TIP: How to trace the lead in FUB, for which your test ran.


To identify the test account where the automation ran while testing, open the test results from step 1 (trigger). You may have to click on 'Show previous test details' if the results are not visible.
​

From the results, we need to identify 'person.id' field. The output is the FUB Person ID for our test. Copy the ID. Here's how it looks:
​


Now, open Follow Up Boss and open any lead. We need to adjust the last part of the URL to match the FUB Person we used as a test.
​


Paste the ID and press enter:

On this lead, you can see if the test action ran successfully.
