Tagger

Tagger automatically tags items based on similar items’ tags, saving time and making it easier to search for specific content.

How Tagger works

When a new item is created in a workspace (via the web interface or a tipline), Tagger examines the text fields of the item and looks for similar items already in the workspace. It then applies the most common tag on the similar items to the new item.

Tags added by Tagger always start with ⚡so that they can be easily distinguished from tags added manually.

Turn Tagger on or off

To turn Tagger on or off:

1. Navigate to the Integrations settings page.
2. In the Tagger window, turn on or off the Add tags to items automatically based on similar items button.

Tagger settings

Detecting similar content is an imprecise process, so Tagger offers several tools to help you dial in automatic tagging:

• Threshold—Use threshold to adjust Tagger’s sensitivity. If Tagger is frequently adding tags that don’t fit, you may want to raise its threshold. If items aren’t being tagged automatically when it’s clear they should be, you may want to lower Tagger’s sensitivity.
• Minimum count—Reflects the number of similar items that must have a certain tag for Tagger to apply it to a new item. Increasing the minimum count will decrease the number of incorrect tags added.
• Ignore auto-tags—By default, Tagger includes auto-tags when finding the most common tag among similar items, which allows it to automatically expand a tag as a topic slightly shifts over time. Ignoring auto-tags disables this behavior, in case it causes runaway automatic tagging.

Change Tagger’s settings

To configure Tagger’s sensitivity:

1. Navigate to the Integrations settings page.
2. In the Tagger window, click the gear icon.
3. Adjust the Threshold, Minimum count, or Ignore auto-tags.
4. Click Save.
