Tagging Your Emails for Easy Analytics

A tag is an ascii alpha-numerical string under 30 characters. The dash (-) character is allowed.

One or several tags are attached to a delivery. Each time you tag an email you signal the service to add it to a reporting with the name of the tag. Reporting contains all the information we have collected about the deliveries with this tag (see below for the list). Tags are also shown in the Analytics section of our website. For instance, if you use CritSend to reliably send invoices, password reminders and newsletters each type of delivery should be tagged.

Tagging allows you to categorize your mails, and take actions based on those categories rather than account-wide. For example, you have two different email types that you like to send. One is an invoice, which you tag by passing the header X-Tag

Example: X-Tag: invoice1
We will automatically categorize/tag that email type as invoice1 .
If you do not use tags for a particular mail, it is automatically tagged as "default" tag.

tag:'invoice1' or tag:'forgot-password' or tag:'june-newsletter'

Where tag is an alphanumerical ascii string (can contain dashes) under 30 characters. If you don't attach a tag to your deliveries, CritSend will create a tag named default.

There are two ways to tag your CritSend messages:

1. By Subject Line
2. By using the X-Tag: header

Using Your Subject Line to Tag your Emails

Example:
	[tag: invoice1] This Is My Subject
	
	The subject of your email will show up as:
	This Is My Subject
	
	and the tag "invoice1" will be created.
	the tag name invoice1 will be received by CritSend servers and will be used to create a tag, 
	this tag will not be visible to your recipients.
	
	To create multiple tags:
	[tag: invoice1, california] This Is My Subject
	this will tag this message with both "invoice1" and with "california"

All tags must be alpha-numeric and must be 30 characters or less. A dash (-) is allowed.

Using the X-Tag: header to Tag your Emails

Add the header: 
	X-Tag:
	Tags must be alphanumeric only, but can contain a dash (-).
	Example:
	X-Tag: invoice1
	
To create multiple tags:
	X-Tag: invoice1, california 

All tags must be alpha-numeric and must be 30 characters or less. A dash (-) is allowed. Limit 10 tags per email.
