💡 Best Practices

• Use consistent naming conventions for tags.

• Avoid duplicate tag creation — search before creating.

• Keep tag names short and meaningful.

• Use tags strategically for segmentation and broadcast targeting.

• Do not delete tags actively used in automations unless necessary.

How Tags Work with Contacts

You can:

• Create tags using the Contact Tag API

• Assign tags to contacts using:

  POST /v1/contacts/{contactId}/tags/add
  

• Remove tags from contacts using:

  POST /v1/contacts/{contactId}/tags/remove
  

This allows complete programmatic segmentation control.
