In Smokeball, you can create contacts to gather and save different details about an individual, group, or trust. You can later utilise this information in letters or forms. Each contact will be categorised based on their specific role in a matter, but you can also add extra, personalised tags to the default Smokeball tags.
To avoid confusion, it's recommended that you discuss and decide on the custom tags to be used by everyone in your organization. For instance, having similar tags like "Holiday List" and "Christmas List" may serve the same purpose and lead to redundancy.
Contact Tagging can be used to create additional lists that can be exported to CSV (Excel). The exported lists can be used for a variety of things, but not limited toĀ Email Marketing. Talk to your account manager or trainer about ways you can utilise contact tags for your firm.
