Tag a new customer

Hi- i would like to automatically tag a new customer when they set up their account. This is not something we can code for as we want to tag different groups based on where they have been sourced from. For example, we will be marketing through a third party data base and want all people that set up an account with us to be tagged as having come from that data base through a code aligned to that group.

any ideas?

Hey @TDE1

Consider passing a long a URL param and capturing it with a customer note, then using something like Shopify Flow to tag the customer based on the note.

Hey @TDE1 !

One potential option for this would be to use an app like Helium Customer Fields to create a custom registration form with rules to automatically tag a customer based on some criteria. For example, you could have a dropdown field on the form with several different options for “Referrer” or something similar, and the create a rule to apply a different tag based on which option is selected.

Alternatively, if you wanted to use something like a URL parameter to automatically detect the source, you could implement this using our Javascript API to read the URL param and then apply a a certain tag.

Here are some resources you can check out:

You can check out the app itself in the Shopify app store here.
