Is there a way to apply tags to a large group of contacts?
October 08, 2012, 10:32:20 pm
I have several thousand contacts that I would like to add tags to.  I am hoping that there is an easy way to add some tags to a group of contacts other than manually editing each contact and adding the tag one by one?

Thanks in advance.

Find your contacts via Find or Adv Search - then under 'actions' you will find the option to 'Tag Contacts'. Is that what you need?

Hello mcgeehon,

Go to Search-->Advanced Search. Now search for your contacts using whatever criteria is necessary. Next Select all of the contacts you need to tag. now look in the Actions dropdown For "Tag Contacts"

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Jason
