Tags and properties
Enrich contacts with custom data using tags and properties.
Tags
Tags are simple labels you attach to contacts for quick categorization. A contact can have any number of tags.
Examples: vip, churned, speaker, beta-tester
Tags are useful for:
- Filtering contacts in the UI
- Targeting segments
- Triggering rules
Adding tags
- From a contact's profile
- In bulk from the contacts list
- During CSV import
- Through rules (automatically when events occur)
Custom properties
Properties are typed fields that store structured data on contacts. Unlike tags (which are just labels), properties have names and values.
Built-in properties
Every contact has:
email— their email address (required, unique)firstName— first namelastName— last name
Creating custom properties
Go to Settings → Contact Properties to define custom fields:
- Text — free-form string (e.g.,
company,jobTitle) - Number — numeric value (e.g.,
mrr,loginCount) - Boolean — true/false (e.g.,
isOnboarded,hasTeam) - Date — timestamp (e.g.,
signupDate,lastLogin)
Using properties
Properties power:
- Personalization — insert
{{company}}in email content - Segments — filter contacts where
plan = "enterprise" - Rules — trigger actions based on property values
