Managing Tags - Create, Edit, Rename and Merge
Tags is just a standard contact field that is automatically available on all accounts. Think of Tags as a multiple choice contact field.
As such, you can manage your tags via the Contact Fields settings area.
Head into the account settings and select "Contact Fields". Locate the Tags field and click the "Edit" button.
Within the Update Contact Field section, you can view all currently created tags.
To rename a tag, simply update the name within the list. When renaming a tag, this will also update the name across all modules of the platform (eg: Forms, Automations, Contacts, Reports etc...).
If you wish to remove/delete a tag, select the "X" button associated with that tag. Deleting a tag will also remove it from all contacts that have the tag applied. As well, all other modules of the platform will be affected (eg: if a form was set to add users into that tag, it will no longer do so). An important note: If a tag is used as part of a criteria block in an automation, we recommend that you first update that automation before deleting the tag.
To merge two or more tags together, select the tags and click the "Merge Selected Options" button. Provide the name of the new tag that all your selected Tags will be merged into.
