Two funnel types are supported currently.&#x20;

Choose "i want to send openers and clickers from a broadcast to this funnel " to make the funnel appear as an option in the dropdown on the broadcast review page of your broadcasts.

Tag contacts to add them to a funnel.

Choosing " I want contacts to be sent through this funnel when they are assigned a tag" creates many possibilities and contexts for adding contacts to a funnel.

{% hint style="info" %}
Use the dropdown to select the tags that will send a contact through this funnel when a contact receives any of those tags.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Use "contact exits funnel if tagged with" to withdraw your contact from the funnel once they've achieved a goal you've set, such as making a purchase through another platform.&#x20;

The contact could then be tagged through Zapier or through our API as a purchaser, stopping them from receiving any future automated messages.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Another goal could be your contact opening or clicking a specific message in the funnel which narrows their area of interest down, causing them to be sent into a second more targeted funnel. &#x20;

You would achieve this by adding tags to their open and click actions when you compose your funnel messages.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The same tag can remove a contact from one funnel while adding that contact to a new funnel.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Following the example from the images above:

1. The contact goes into our funnel when they're tagged with "pet owner". &#x20;
2. The contact is withdrawn from the funnel upon being tagged with "dog owners" after they open a dog-related message.&#x20;
3. The contact is added to a new funnel for contacts tagged with "dog owners".

**Changing your tag choices**

To remove selections you have made, simply click on them as shown in the example below

There are many ways to tag your contacts
