## 🏷️ What is a tag on HuntReach?

**Tags** are custom attributes associated with your contacts.\
They help you:

* Segment your lists
* Precisely target your campaigns
* Analyze performance by group

🧠 Tags are **not dynamic**: you can't use them as variables in your emails (`{{name}}`). They're meant for **segmentation and analysis**, not content personalization.

## ✍️ Creating tags in a Google Sheets or Excel file

### Step 1: Recommended file structure

| Email                                     | Position | Industry   | City          | TAGS                           |
| ----------------------------------------- | -------- | ---------- | ------------- | ------------------------------ |
| [elon@tesla.com](mailto:elon@tesla.com)   | CEO      | Automotive | San Francisco | CEO, Automotive, San Francisco |
| [jeff@amazon.com](mailto:jeff@amazon.com) | Founder  | E-commerce | Seattle       | Founder, E-commerce, Seattle   |

✅ **Best practices**:

* Prefer descriptive tags like `CEO, E-commerce` instead of just `Yes/No`
* All tags should be in a single cell, separated by commas

### Step 2: Automatically generate tags

In Google Sheets, insert this formula in the `TAGS` column:

Then **copy and paste values** to freeze the content:

* `Ctrl + Shift + V` (Google Sheets)
* `Paste special > Values` (Excel)

### Step 3: Export as CSV

* **Google Sheets**: `File → Download → .csv`
* **Excel**: `File → Save As → CSV (UTF-8)`

## 📤 Import your file into HuntReach

1. Go to [HuntReach Contacts](https://app.huntreach.com/dashboard/contacts)
2. Create a new list
3. Import your `.csv` file:
   * Make sure the email column is named **`email`** or **`e-mail`**
4. Review the preview
5. Click on **"Import Data"**

✅ A confirmation message will appear:\
**"Contacts successfully added to the list!"**

## 📊 Why use tags?

* **Target** the right segments (e.g. SaaS SMBs in Paris)
* **Compare** response rates by group
* **Optimize** campaigns based on results

## 💬 Useful tag examples
