Auto-tagging

Automatically label conversations by intent, channel, sentiment, and custom keywords.

4 min read Updated July 2026

Tags make it easier to filter your inbox, run reports, and trigger downstream automations. Auto-tagging applies tags to conversations the moment they arrive, without any manual effort from agents.

AI-based auto-tagging

Liya detects intent and other signals on every inbound message and can automatically apply tags based on those signals. No rule-writing required for the basics:

  • Enable Auto-tag by intent in Settings → AI → Tags and Liya will apply your intent taxonomy labels (e.g. billing, shipping, technical) automatically.
  • Enable Auto-tag by sentiment to tag conversations with frustrated, positive, or neutral.
  • Enable Auto-tag by urgency to apply urgent or high-priority tags.

Rule-based auto-tagging

For custom tagging logic, create automation rules with a Add tag action:

Rule exampleConditionAction
VIP customerContact tag has 'enterprise' OR contact attribute plan = 'Enterprise'Add tag: vip
First-time customerContact conversation count = 1Add tag: new-customer
Churn riskMessage contains 'cancel' OR 'cancellation' OR 'leaving'Add tag: churn-risk, set priority: high
Legal languageMessage contains 'lawsuit' OR 'attorney' OR 'legal action'Add tag: legal-flag, assign to Legal group
Weekend ticketDay of week is Saturday or SundayAdd tag: weekend
Long-form complaintMessage word count > 300 AND sentiment is frustratedAdd tag: complex-complaint

Managing your tag taxonomy

Maintain a consistent set of tags to keep your inbox and reports clean. Go to Settings → Tags to:

  • Create new tags with names and optional colours
  • Merge duplicate tags
  • Archive tags no longer in use (existing tagged conversations retain the tag)
  • View the conversation count per tag
Tags are workspace-wide. Avoid creating tags that are too granular (e.g. "billing-cancellation-Q3-2025") — they're hard to maintain and rarely useful in reports. Prefer 10–20 stable top-level tags and use custom attributes for more detailed classification.

Using tags in analytics

Tags are first-class filters in the Analytics and CSAT dashboards. Filter reports by tag to understand performance on specific ticket types — e.g. "What is our average resolution time for billing tickets?" or "What is the CSAT score on churn-risk conversations?"
