* ***Please Note:** if you have not created any contact tags yet it won't display any under the “**Select Tag**”* \*\*\*\**drop-down*

* **For Example:** If the customer is a subscriber I will type “Subscriber”
* Next, select the blue “**ADD NEW TAG**” button to create the new contact tag (see below)
