Standard Triggers – Contact Tag on Workflow in GoHighLevel

Labels serve as a method for organizing your contacts, enabling you to categorize any contact within your list using one or multiple labels for future reference. Utilize labels for effortless searching, browsing, sorting, and content organization. Additionally, leverage labels to trigger automation, send bulk emails, SMS messages, and more.

 In this article, we will be covering How a Tag can fire off a Workflow.

What does the Contact Tag Workflow trigger do?

The contact tag workflow triggers step checks if any tag is added to a contact or removed from a contact.

Specify through Filters whether you prefer activation triggered by tag addition or removal. Failure to specify will result in activation for both scenarios.

What can cause a tag to get added or removed?

Tags can get added or removed by the following means, and hence fire off a workflow with the trigger step set to Contact Tag with a filter for Tag Added or Tag Removed in case of removals:

Added/Removed manually via the contacts list (single contact or bulk action):

You can add tags to a contact or a group of contacts by going to the Contacts List> Selecting the contact(s) > Clicking on the Add tag button. You can Click the Remove Tag button to remove tags.

Added/Removed via a workflow:

Utilize workflow actions to incorporate or eliminate tags. As leads venture into a deployed workflow and encounter the add or remove tag action, their tags are either added or removed accordingly.

Added (only) via third-party integration tools like Zapier:

You can use many third-party integration tools to get tags added to your contacts in the CRM. Zapier is one of the most commonly used 3rd party integration tools to make actions happen inside the CRM in response to changes in external apps you may be running. Tags cannot be removed through this method.

Added via a CSV import

You can add tags during a CSV import process by having a tags column with a tags column header in the CSV and have tags written out for each contact in that column. You can insert commas and multiple tags for each contact in the same cell.

You can also add tags during a CSV import by the advanced options of the import process:


Please Note:

CSV Imports are also used to update the tags of existing contacts, if Allow Duplicate contacts is turned off and the Email and Phone of the contacts being imported is the same as the already existing ones.
