Automatic tags for incoming contacts

WaFloW.ai allows you to assign automatic tags to contacts who write on WhatsApp.
This facilitates organization, segmentation, and automation within GoHighLevel without manual work.


What are automatic tags? #

Automatic tags are labels assigned to a contact when a specific action occurs, for example:

  • First incoming message via WhatsApp.
  • New contact.
  • Message received on a specific number.

These tags sync directly with GoHighLevel.


What are automatic labels used for? #

Automatic labels allow you to:

  • Quickly identify the source of the contact.
  • Enable workflows and automations in GHL.
  • Classify leads without human intervention.
  • Keep your CRM organized from the very first message.

They are the basis of intelligent automation.


Where automatic labels are configured #

Automatic labels are configured:

  • At the subaccount level.
  • From the integrations or device settings section.

Once configured, they are automatically applied to incoming contacts.


Common examples of use #

Some practical examples:

  • WhatsApp - Lead Entrante
  • Soporte WhatsApp
  • Cliente Potencial

These tags can then be used to:

  • Move contacts in the pipeline.
  • Assign responsibilities.
  • Send automatic replies.

Integration with GoHighLevel automations #

Once the label has been applied:

  • GoHighLevel can detect the event.
  • Automatic workflows are activated.
  • Actions such as the following are performed:
    • Send messages.
    • Assign users.
    • Change pipeline stages.

WaFloW.ai acts as a trigger, GHL as an automation engine.


Best practices #

  • Use clear and consistent label names.
  • Don't use too many labels.
  • Define a common logic for the entire team.
  • Document what each label is used for.

Common mistakes #

  • ❌ Create duplicate labels.
  • ❌ Using unclear names.
  • ❌ Do not link tags to automations.
  • ❌ Change labels without reviewing active workflows.

Summary #

Automatic tags:

  • They organize contacts from the first message.
  • Automations activated in GHL.
  • They reduce manual labor.
  • They improve scalability.
