We now have a new function to allow you to bulk tag contacts from custom field search results.
This feature is actioned via a new button which can be set up inside your Custom Field section of your account.
The button allows you to search the custom fields that are set up inside your CRM account and choose the relevant custom field heading and look up the 'search criteria' which match, to then allow you to bulk tag those contacts that meet the search results with an existing tag or new tag of your choice.
Please note: you cannot search on custom field checklists or custom fields that are inside a row or are read-only.
You can search a custom field in the following formats:
- Dates
- Drop downs
- Text Box
- Text Area
