Email tagging is a great way to keep on top of messages in your inbox. In a couple of clicks, add a colored email tag with a title to your message so you know exactly what the message is: an invoice, a customer request, or some information from a team member. Never lose track of what’s what again.

Easily label your signatures

Your sign-off is important – it’s your brand, a chance to do some passive email marketing, and the easiest way for your recipient to find your contact information. By tagging your signatures, you ensure you can always find the right signature for the email you’re sending, making sure your sign-off is appropriate in every situation.

Manage your tags with ease
