What is a Privy Tag?

Privy Tags are labels that you create to organize your contacts. Privy Tags are highly customizable and can be applied during an import or via a contact’s profile. Privy Tags can be used in a variety of ways to identify customers, such as wholesale clients, local customers, VIP customers, and more. Once a tag is applied, it becomes available for contact filtering and audience segmentation. 

Add Tags during a Contact Import

When you import a spreadsheet (CSV) of contacts, you will reach a Tags step. This step in the import process allows you to apply new or existing tags to all of the contacts included in the import file.  Screenshot showing the page of the import process where you select or create tags for your Contacts
