How to Use Lists as Tags in HealthdeskAI
Last updated: October 1, 2025Overview
Lists in HealthdeskAI function as tags that help you organize and segment contacts for efficient communication and follow-up.
You can use lists to categorize leads and clients (e.g., New Leads, Active Members, Past Clients) directly from the Inbox without switching to other modules.
These lists/tags can be later used for Email Blasts, SMS Blasts, and automated workflows.
When to Use Lists as Tags
To group new inquiries or leads by date, campaign, or location.
To identify contacts by engagement level (e.g., Trial Members, Interested Prospects).
To manage communication pipelines within Inbox.
To quickly tag contacts during live chats or SMS conversations for future follow-up.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. From the left sidebar, click Inbox to view ongoing conversations.
2. From the Details panel on the right side of the screen, click Create new list, and a pop-up window titled Create new static list will appear.
3. Confirm the Contact has been added to the list (i.e. has been tagged) by viewing their list membership on the Details panel of the right side of your screen. You can remove this user from this list/tag by clicking the red minus button.
Pro Tip
You can tag contacts directly from the Inbox — ideal for real-time lead management.
Example: While chatting with a new inquiry, tag them as “New Leads - October” immediately for follow-up or inclusion in automations.
