As you manage your inbound communications in Inbox, you may want to organize your conversations beyond the inbox they are a part of and who they are assigned to.

Depending on how your shared inboxes are set up, these tags may be used for departments, processes, portfolios, common question type, topic, or all of the above.

Tagging your conversations makes it easy to search and filter the Inbox by these categories. (They are especially helpful if you have one shared email account across departments rather than multiple shared email accounts. The benefit to having one shared email account is that the client doesn't have to guess which email to send their inquiry to. Learn more about possible shared inbox configurations here.)

Some examples of categories to include are:

Note that you do *not* need to add tags for:

as these are already easily searchable and filterable in Inbox.

Tags are a versatile way to organize your emails, calls, and texts in Inbox by:

If you use folders in Gmail or Outlook to organize conversations by Owner, Tenant, or Property, this is done automatically for you in LeadSimple - don't go off to create tags for each owner, tenant, or property. You don't have to 🙂

Search for an owner, tenant or property in LeadSimple and you'll see all the communications with that person or about that property!

You can create tags in two ways:

1 - Create tags from the Inbox settings (admins only)

Navigate to Settings > Inbox Settings or click the gear icon in the top right in Inbox.

Open the "Tags" screen. Click "Add" and add as many tags as you need:

2 - Create tags on a conversation

Navigate to the Inbox and open a conversation.

Find "tags" in the right-hand sidebar. Click + and type a tag name. If the tag does not already exist, hit "enter" to create the tag and apply it to the conversation at the same time.

Tags can be edited by admins in the Inbox settings. Navigation to Settings > Inbox Settings.

Open the "Tags" screen and click on any tag to edit its name.

Follow the instructions under "Editing Tags" above, but instead of editing the tag, click the trash can/delete icon on the right side of the tag to delete it.

Keep in mind, this will remove the tag from your account entirely and it will no longer be applied to any conversations. No other users will be able to see or use the tag afterward either.

Once you've added tags to your conversations, you will want to filter your conversation list by those tags.

Click the filter drop down above the conversation list:

You can also use the open, snoozed, and closed filters as well as the assignee filters to filter the list down further.
