Short answer

On the Contacts page, click the tag icon in a contact's Tags column, pick tags or create a new one, and click Save. To tag people automatically, add a Tag Contact step to a flow, Lead Gen or DM automation. You can then filter and export by tag.

Tags are short labels like “hot-lead”, “paid” or “wholesale” that you put on a person. Use them to find people later, export a group, or send different messages in a flow.

Steps

  1. Click Contacts in the sidebar and pick Instagram or Facebook.
  2. Find the person. In their Tags column, click the tag icon.
    • A small window opens with their username in the title.
  3. Pick one or more tags under “Select tags”. Click a selected tag’s × to remove it.
  4. To make a new tag, type it in “New tag name” and click Create (or press Enter).
  5. Click Save. You’ll see “Tags updated.”

You can do the same from a contact’s detail panel: click their name, use the Tags section, then click Save (“Contact saved.”).

Tag people automatically

Add a Tag Contact step so everyone who reaches it gets the tag:

  • In a Flow Automation: add the Tag Contact step, choose Tags to apply (and optional Tags to remove), then Set Live. Flows are on Trendsetter and above.
  • In a Lead Gen or DM keyword automation: click Add Step, then Tag Contact.
  • An AI Reply step can also add tags based on your instructions. See How do I control what the AI says?

On the phone app

The app has no Contacts page. In an Instagram DM keyword automation (Instagram → DM tab), you can add a Tag Contact step with Manage Tags and Create New Tag. On the Flows screen you can filter a flow’s contacts by tag.

Good to know

What you can’t do

  • Combine Filter by tag with Filter by flow.

Questions people also ask

Can I tag many contacts at once?

Not from the Contacts page. Tag people one by one, or add a Tag Contact step to your automation so everyone who reaches that step is tagged.

How do I rename or delete a tag?

You can't rename or delete a tag from the Contacts page. You can remove a tag from each contact.

Can the AI tag people for me?

Yes. An AI Reply step in a flow can tag people based on your instructions. Those tags show on the Contacts page and you can remove them.
