How to apply tag at the end of an email sequence? [solved!]
I created an automation that includes starting a 7 email sequence.
Later I apply a tag ("got-sequence") tag, but it applies it as soon as it sends email #1
How can I apply a tag only after the whole email sequence has been sent? I don't see anywhere in sequences to apply tags.
I may change the length of the email sequence, so adding a day delay won't be reliable.
Thanks in advance!
You've got the right idea, the issue is just where the tag is firing.
The "Set Sequence Emails" action doesn't actually pause your automation. It just drops the contact into the sequence and then immediately moves on to the
next step, which is why your "got-sequence" tag gets applied the moment email #1 goes out.
What you want is the "Email Sequence Completed" goal. Pop it in between your sequence step and your tag step:
- Set Sequence Emails (your 7 emails)
- Goal → Email Sequence Completed (pick the same sequence)
- Apply Tag → got-sequence
The key bit: in the goal settings, set the type to "Essential Point" (the required option). That's what makes the automation actually wait there until the
whole sequence has finished sending before it moves on and applies the tag. If you leave it as "Optional Point" it won't pause, so make sure it's set to
required.
Best part is it's based on the sequence completing, not a fixed delay — so you can add or remove emails later and it'll still tag people at the right
time. 👍
That is perfect Shahjahan Jewel! I knew it could be done...with FCRM there is always a way. Thank you very much.
Very useful for chaining email sequences too.
I can't imagine when one would use "Email Sequence Completed" as an optional point trigger since it's not a conditional node. But that's a question for another time maybe.
