Create Email Campaign Tags on the Fly No More Prepping Ahead

This update saves marketers valuable time by eliminating the need to pre-create tags before scheduling emails. Now, you can tag, automate, and launch campaigns in one smooth flow all from a single screen.

Previously, when setting up an email campaign in GoHighLevel, you could only choose from tags that were already created. If you needed a new tag, you’d have to exit the campaign flow, go to the Contacts section, create the tag manually, and then come back to finish your setup.

Not anymore.

Now, you can create new email campaign tags right from the Send or Schedule screen. That means less clicking around, fewer browser tabs, and a lot more momentum when building and launching campaigns.

Here’s what’s changed:

• You’ll now see an option to add a new tag directly from the tag dropdown.
• Just type your desired tag name and click “Add.”
• The tag is instantly created and applied no need to leave the screen.

This may seem like a small shift, but it smooths out a major friction point in campaign setup. And if you’re running last minute promos or testing segments on the fly, that agility matters.

The ability to create email campaign tags right from the Send or Schedule page brings a surprising number of wins for GHL users. Here’s how it makes life easier:

• Save Time on Every Campaign
  No more detours to the Contacts or Settings area just to create a tag. Do it all in one flow and launch faster.
• Stay in the Zone
  You can keep your focus on building and scheduling your campaign without bouncing between screens.
• Instant Segmentation
  Use new tags right away for Smart Lists, workflows, or follow-up sequences—without missing a beat.
• Better Automation on the Fly
  Quickly create tags tied to new automations without needing pre-planning. Perfect for agile marketers and fast-moving teams.
• Reduced Errors and Forgotten Tags
  When you can create tags during scheduling, you’re less likely to forget tagging altogether or mislabel contacts later.

If you’re serious about using email campaign tags to power your automation, this update gives you the freedom to act faster, stay organized, and move your leads through the funnel with less hassle.

Creating email campaign tags during scheduling is now quick and seamless inside GoHighLevel. Whether you’re building a brand-new campaign or updating an existing one, this new tag option is built right into the workflow. Here’s how to use it step-by-step:

Now that you can create email campaign tags directly while scheduling, it’s time to get strategic. These tags aren’t just labels; they’re powerful triggers for automation, segmentation, and follow-up.

Here’s how to get more value from your email campaign tags:

• Stick to a Naming System
  Use consistent naming for your email campaign tags (like “launch_august” or “lead_magnet_optin”) so your automations stay clean and searchable.
• Immediately Connect Tags to Workflows
  As soon as you create a new email campaign tag, tie it to a trigger in your workflow. This lets your automation fire off without delay.
• Build Smart Lists Around Tags
  Newly created tags can be used to power Smart Lists in real time. This is huge for fast segmentation and dynamic follow-ups.
• Tag for Retargeting
  Think ahead: apply email campaign tags during launches so you can easily retarget or re-engage that segment later.
• Avoid Tag Clutter
  More isn’t better. Too many unused or duplicate tags can clutter your system. Only create tags you’ll use in automations or list filters.

Used correctly, email campaign tags make GoHighLevel’s automation engine more precise and efficient. This small update makes it even easier to stay agile and organized.
