The problem it solves

Keeping your email marketing tags accurate is tedious when you're doing it one contact at a time, especially when tags need to sync with another system like your CRM. It's easy to leave stale tags on a contact or miss adding a new one, which throws off your segmentation and campaign targeting.

Who it fits

Marketing teams or agencies who manage segmented email campaigns and need contact tags to stay in sync with another system.

How it works

  1. Triggers when another automation sends a contact's email with lists of tags to add and remove
  2. Looks up the current tag list to match tag names to the right records
  3. Adds the requested tags to the contact
  4. Removes the requested tags one by one
  5. Leaves the contact's profile updated and ready for the next campaign
What you get

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
