Tags are essentially labels that you can attach to conversations to help categorize them and make them easier to find later. One conversation can have multiple tags associated with it.
Here's what you can do with tags:
1. Categorize conversations
2. Filter / search basis tags applied
3. Use tags as folders - pin and unpin important tag folders
4. Set up rules to tag conversations automatically
5. View reports on tags to identify trends, team performance etc.
Note: When you connect a Gmail or Office 365 account as an inbox in Helpwise, your labels in Gmail and folders in Office 365 will automatically sync to Helpwise as tags.
