Creating and managing Tags

How to create a Tag, add Tags to new and existing subscribers, rename and manage Tags, and more.

Tags help you organize your subscribers in meaningful ways. For example, you can tag all subscribers who signed up for your newsletter with “Newsletter," and all subscribers from Chicago with “Chicago subscribers.”

Where to find Tags: Tags live on the Subscribers page (under the Grow tab), in the right-hand sidebar under All Tags. Click the > icon next to All Tags to expand the list.

It is not a separate menu item under Grow. You'll find it as a section on the Subscribers page itself.


Subscribers can also have multiple Tags. So a subscriber from Chicago who signed up for your newsletter can have both the “Newsletter” and “Chicago subscribers” Tags, for example.

The number in the gray circle to the right of the Tag's name indicates the number of subscribers who have the Tag.

In this article, we’ll cover how to:

How to create a Tag

To create a Tag:

  1. Go to the Subscribers page.

  2. In the right sidebar, scroll down and click the + icon to the right of the All Tags section.

A window will pop up, where you can fill out the name of your new Tag.

Click Save. Your new Tag is created, and you can now add it to your subscribers.

Tag or untag existing subscribers

NOTE: If you want to have your subscribers automatically tagged once they sign up to your email list, follow the instructions here instead.

You can tag (or untag) subscribers manually from either the Subscribers page or from individual subscriber profiles.

From the Subscribers page

The Subscribers page is the fastest way to tag or untag multiple subscribers at once. Follow the step-by-step instructions in How to tag subscribers in Kit. To untag subscribers, choose Remove Tag instead of Add Tag in the bulk actions menu.

From a subscriber profile

Go to the Subscribers page. On this page, click the subscriber whom you want to (un)tag.

Their subscriber profile will load. Click the greater-than icon (>) next to their profile's Tags section if the section isn't already expanded. Then, click the + icon that appears.

Use the dropdown menu to select the Tag to add to the subscriber, and then click Add tag to save your changes.

If the Tag you want to add hasn't been created yet, you can type the Tag's name into the dropdown menu to create the Tag first.

To remove a Tag from the subscriber, click the trash can icon next to the Tag.

Then, in the pop-up window that appears, click Remove to confirm your choice.

Rename a Tag

To rename a Tag, go to the Subscribers page, click the All Tags dropdown, and then click the three vertical dots next to the Tag you want to rename.

Click Edit, and a window will pop up for you to rename your Tag. Type its new name, and then click Save to save your changes.

NOTE: If you've clicked the Tag to view the subscribers who have been added to it, you can rename it by clicking its name (between the Status and Product dropdown menus).

Add Tags to Folders

You can group related Tags, Segments, and Product Tags in Folders to keep your workspace organized.

Delete your Tags

NOTE: To delete all subscribers who have a particular Tag, follow these instructions instead.

Deleting your Tags means removing the Tags from your account. Deleting a Tag:

  • Will remove it from subscribers who currently have it, and

  • Can impact Segments, Rules, Sequences, or Visual Automations that use it.

To delete your Tags, go to the Subscribers page and click the All Tags dropdown.

Then, select your Tags:

  • If you're deleting just one Tag, click the three vertical dots next to it > Delete.

  • If you're deleting multiple Tags, select them using the checkboxes. (Tip: Hold Shift on your keyboard while selecting your Tags to quickly select everything between your first and last selection.) Then, click the Bulk actions dropdown (pictured below) > Delete.

A window will pop up, asking you to confirm the deletion.

If you want to go ahead, click Yes, delete.
