Partner tags

Learn how to organize, filter, and manage partners with tags in your partner program.
4 min read
Tip

This feature is only available on Business plans and above.

Partner tags help you organize partners with flexible labels. You can use tags to track partner types, campaigns, outreach status, lifecycle stage, or any other internal classification that helps your team manage the program.

Unlike partner groups, tags do not control rewards, discounts, or referral link settings. Use groups for program configuration, and use tags for flexible organization and filtering.

Common examples include:

  • Source: YouTube, Newsletter, Agency, or Customer referral
  • Status: Needs follow-up, Contract sent, or High intent
  • Campaign: Q2 launch, Black Friday, or Webinar cohort
  • Relationship: VIP, Strategic, or Community

Adding tags to partners#

This can be done from either the partner table or the partner details view.

Partner table#

With the tag column enabled, click the tag icon button to add tags to a partner. This will open the modal view for all your created tags.

You can also bulk edit partner tags using the multi-select checkboxes on each partner row, then click Update tags at the top of the table.

Tags modal#

Both the partner table and partner details view will open the same tags modal, where you can manage all your tags in one place. Any changes you make here will update across the entire program.

From here, you can select any number of existing tags to assign to your partners. Learn more about managing tags.

Managing tags#

With the tags modal open, you'll be able to see all the tags that you've created and the number of partners assigned. Here you can create new tags, search, update, and delete existing tags.

Adding new tags#

To add a new tag, click into the text field and type the tag you'd like to create. If one already exists, you'll see the match below. If one doesn't exist, click Create new tag to create one.

Creating partner tags from the tags modal

This will create the tag and assign it to the partner you're currently editing. You can create as many tags as you'd like and assign multiple tags to a single partner.

Note

Tags have a 190 character limit

Updating tags#

To update an existing tag, click the Edit option from the tag dropdown. This will open a text field where you can update the name of the tag. This will update the tag name for all partners assigned.

Deleting tags#

To delete an existing tag, click the Delete option from the tag dropdown. This will remove the tag from all partners assigned, so be sure as this isn't reversible.

Filtering partners by tags#

Partner tags can be used alongside other partner filters such as group, status, and location. This makes it easier to segment your partner table for follow-up, reporting, and other workflows.

Filtering partners by tags

For example, you can filter for partners tagged VIP who are also in a specific partner group, or partners tagged Needs follow-up after an outreach campaign.

You can also use the same filtering when viewing your program analytics and commission analytics.
