Campaign tagging

Create and manage your own custom set of tags and use them to visually organize and filter your campaigns with Swrve’s Campaign tagging.

Tags are a quick and easy way to organize your campaigns. Use the Tags manager to create or edit an agreed upon set of tags and then apply them to your campaigns during or after campaign setup.


Manage your campaign tags

To view and manage your campaign tags, on the Manage menu, select Tags. The Tags screen is available to all users, however we recommend you first agree on a schema with your team regarding your tagging needs and color coding. The number of campaigns using each tag will indicate the most popular or unused tags.

Add tags to your campaigns

There are two options to add tags to a campaign:

  • For campaigns in draft state, from the Actions menu on the campaign card.
