How to Use Tags to Trigger Automations

Tags in MONDAi are labels on contact records. They mark behavior, interest, stage, or status: "Downloaded Lead Magnet", "Purchased Course", "VIP Client". Every tag is also a potential automation trigger — apply a tag and a workflow fires.

What Tags Do

  • Segment contacts without creating separate lists
  • Trigger automation workflows based on specific contact behavior
  • Power smart lists for targeted campaigns
  • Provide a readable behavioral history in every contact record

How to Apply Tags

Manually: Open a contact record and add directly. Via form: Configure an Apply Tag action in form settings. Via workflow: Add Apply Tag as an action in any workflow. Via pipeline stage: Configure tag application when a contact moves to a stage.

Tag as Workflow Trigger

1
Go to Automation → Workflows → Create Workflow
2
Set trigger to "Tag Applied"
3
Select the specific tag
4
Build the workflow actions — this fires for any contact that receives this tag from any source

Tag Naming Convention

Use a category prefix to keep things organized at scale:

  • Lead: — opt-ins, webinar registrations
  • Buyer: — product purchases
  • Interest: — behavioral signals
  • Status: — active, inactive, do-not-email

Common Mistakes

  • a
  • r
  • t
  • i
  • c
  • l
  • e

Next Steps

  • No naming convention — tags become unusable at scale.
  • Applying tags manually at scale — automate via forms and workflows.
  • Never removing tags — stale tags create confusing contact histories.
  • Using tags instead of pipeline stages for sales tracking — pipeline is the right tool for that.
