Infusionsoft Cookbook – Chapter 2.5 – Creating Tags For Database Segmentation

The more targeted and relevant our marketing is, the more effective it will be. In order to segment the database so we can be targeted and relevant, Infusionsoft uses tags. A tag can be thought of as a specific list or specific segment of people within your database. We can apply or remove a tag manually from an individual or a group of individuals. A campaign can automatically apply or remove a tag as well. Besides segmentation, a tag can route automation logic or filter a search/report. They can also be used as a goal within a campaign to start or stop it. In short, understanding how to create a tag is a critical skill for automated experience design.

Infusionsoft Cookbook – Chapter 2.3 – Using Campaign Merge Fields

Sometimes, there is information that needs to be merged into a communication or process that is the same for all contacts that flow through a campaign. The date and location of an event is an example of this kind of information because that information is fixed for all contacts flowing through the campaign. A campaign merge field is the tool we can leverage for this kind of data.

Infusionsoft Cookbook – Chapter 2.2 – Using Merge Fields

Merging contact information into an automated communication can be an extremely powerful tool to create a relevant, personal experience for the recipient. It can also ruin the customer experience if not properly implemented. As a tool itself, it thrives on context and so merge fields always need to be used strategically. While this recipe specifically covers how to insert a merge field into an e-mail, the concept extends to any object with merging capabilities (tasks, letters, and so on).

Infusionsoft Cookbook – Chapter 2.1 – Creating Custom Fields

At its core, Infusionsoft is a CRM (short for Customer Relationship Management) system. In other words, it is a database of humans that contains information about their interactions with a business. In this database, there are common pieces of information that all businesses would need to know about an individual: first/last name, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and so on. There are even more interesting pieces of data as well, such as the person’s birthday or their spouse’s name. However, there are pieces of data a business might need to collect that don’t exist out of the box. Take a dog trainer for example. They might want to store a dog’s name on the dog owner’s contact record. This recipe will show you how to create a custom data field on a contact record. A custom field can be merged into a communication or a task, submitted on a form, used as a search/report filter, and used to route automation logic.
