Classifying Contacts with Tags in Zendesk Sell

Learn how to effectively classify contacts using tags in Zendesk Sell and avoid data contradictions.

Can I use tags to classify contacts in Zendesk Sell?

While you can use tags to classify contacts in Zendesk Sell, it's important to avoid contradictions. For example, a contact shouldn't be tagged as 'Silver', 'Gold', and 'Platinum' simultaneously.

To avoid such ambiguities, consider using custom fields, which allow for more precise classifications. Custom dropdown fields, for instance, can be set to only one value at a time, ensuring clear and accurate data representation.
