In the perfect closet, everything would be organized by color, season, and occasion. (Uh, just us?) You can bring that same level of organization to your ConvertKit subscriber list with tagging. But while tagging is a super useful feature for segmenting your audience, it’s an annoying task to have to do over and over again. Streamline the process with our Add tag to subscriber form template.
This template connects your ConvertKit account to Zapier. Then, through an easily customizable form, it collects any information you want for your specific tagging system and quickly adds those tags for you. It’s not a dream closet, but it’s a ,dream contact list,. And isn't that pretty close?
Zapier products the template uses

- Tables — databases that let you track and automate your data
- Zaps — automated workflows
- Canvas — a diagramming tool that helps you visualize your workflows
How Zapier's add tag to subscriber form template works
This template creates a seamless process for adding tags to your ConvertKit subscribers all in Zapier.
Here's a breakdown of how it works:
- The template starts with a customizable form where you or your team can input subscriber information. The form includes fields for essential data like email address and name, but you can also add custom fields you'd need for your specific tagging system.
- Once the form is submitted, the information gets automatically stored in a table. This table acts as a holding place for the data, allowing you to manage and review the data before using it for tagging.
- Automation trigger: The submission of the form triggers a Zap, which is the automated workflow that'll handle the tagging process in ConvertKit. That Zap communicates with your ConvertKit account, using the API to add the specified tag to the subscriber's profile.
- The entire process will get visually mapped out in Canvas, giving you a clear view of how the data flows from the form to ConvertKit.
To set up this template:
- Start by customizing the form to match your specific needs. Add or remove fields as necessary to capture the information most relevant to your tagging system.
- Set up the table to store your form submissions. This step is handled automatically by the template, but you can customize it if you want to.
- Review the Zap to make sure it's connecting to your ConvertKit account correctly. You might need to authenticate your ConvertKit account if you haven't yet.
- Test the workflow by submitting a sample form entry and verifying that the tag gets added correctly in ConvertKit.
- Activate the Zap and start enjoying your new automated tagging system!
With this template in place, you'll have a streamlined process for adding tags to your ConvertKit subscribers, saving time and reducing the chance of errors in your email list management.
