Tag a contact

Tag a contact

Adds or removes tags on one audience contact, creating any active tag that doesn't exist yet.

Note: Set is_syncing to true to keep automations based on these tags from firing.

Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

API (official)

• Base URL: https://{dc}.api.mailchimp.com/3.0
• Endpoint: POST /lists/{list_id}/members/{subscriber_hash}/tags
• Auth: send the header Authorization: Bearer $MAILCHIMP_API_KEY
• Get a key: https://us1.admin.mailchimp.com/account/api/
• Docs: https://mailchimp.com/developer/marketing/api/

Note: {dc} is your data center, the part of the API key after the dash, such as us6.

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

Rules

• Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
• Never print API keys.
