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.
