Tags are an excellent way to categorize your mentions, similar to subfolders. They are easy to set up and provide a quick way for you to get to specific groups of mentions within your alerts. Tags can be completely automated, and also serve as a powerful tool within your reports. Tags are incredibly helpful for alerts with large amounts of mentions.
You can apply tags manually through the feed or automate the whole process. With automated tags, there is no need to click on a mention and select a tag. If your mention contains certain keywords, we’ll tag it for you!
★ Tag Mentions Manually
1. Click on a mention in your feed.
2. Select the tag icon and type in a name for your tag or select an existing tag to apply:
You can apply a tag for several mentions at a time.
★ Set Up Automatic Tags
1. Hover over the alert and click on the Edit button that appears. This will open your Alert settings. On the left-hand side, click Tags Settings
2. Next, click on the + create tag to see a pop-up that will allow you to give your tag a name and list keywords and/or phrases below it that will define the mentions that will have this tag applied. Make sure to click Enter on your keyboard after each word (you’ll know they are registered when they turn grey).
3. You can auto-tag mentions that are older by selecting 'Also apply to previous mentions'. This is a powerful and popular method.
4. Select Create when you’re done.
Now, whenever one of the listed keywords or phrases is found within one of the mentions of this alert, it will automatically be tagged and available within your tag folder, as well as existing within your feed inbox.

★ View Tagged Mentions
There are two methods to view tagged mentions:
Tag Folder: within your dashboard, you will see a Tag folder appear after your create your first tag! This folder will contain all of the tags created for the specific alert you are on.
Mention Feed: the Mention Feed will show you which mentions are tagged by listing the Tag name directly in the preview. Mention will list multiple Tag names if the content is tagged in more than one tag folder.
Important notes about tags
Each tag is unique to one Alert. If you’d like to have the same tag across Alerts, they have to be created one by one.
Each Alert can have up to 100 tags.
An individual mention can be tagged up to 10 tags.
Each automated tag can contain up to 100 keywords.
Tags are shared with all team members who have access to that Alert.
You can use tag folders as a filter in your Mention Reports. The graphs in your Report will only show mentions from the folder.
You cannot create a tag folder with special characters including @, #, or $. You must use regular text.
