Profile tags is a feature that lets you create and manage tags which can be assigned to profiles (who can be found in the **Behavioral Data Hub**). This feature will help you effectively organize and group profiles, enabling precise targeting of specific profile segments. 


## Tag management
---
All profile tags you create are stored in **Behavioral Data Hub > Tags** in an alphabetical order. In this place, apart from creating new tags, you can also search for the tags, [edit](#editing-profile-tags) or [remove](#removing-profile-tags) them.

### Adding new profile tags

You can create tags in the following ways:
- On the interface of the Synerise platform:
  - [On the list of profile tags](#on-the-profile-tag-list)
  - [On the profile cards](#on-the-profile-cards)
-  With the [Create a tag API method](https://developers.synerise.com/AssetManagement/AssetManagement.html#operation/createTagUsingPOST)
- When you create or update profiles with Imports or the API

## Assigning tags to profiles
---
You can assign tags to profiles:
- **Manually** - This option lets you assign a tag to individual profiles.
  1. Go to <img src="/api/docs/image/54176ad07f146575310749eba44b7c2f42c1b327/icons/behavioral-data-hub-icon.svg" alt="Behavioral Data Hub icon" class="icon"> **Behavioral Data Hub > Profiles**.
  2. Open the card of any profile to whom you want to assign a tag.
  3. On the left pane, under the personal information of a profile, in the **Tags** section, click **Add tag**.  
    **Result**: A text field and list of tags appear.
  4. From the list, select the tag or [create a new one](#on-the-profile-cards).
- **Through the Automation Hub** - This option lets you create workflows which either mass-assign tags to profiles or assign tags to them based on specific conditions, for example, when a profile performs a particular action. Such workflows must contain the ["Update Profiles node"](/docs/automation/actions/change-attribute-node) which assigns a specific tag defined in the node configuration to a profile that goes through a workflow.
- When you create or update profiles with Imports or the API.

  You can read the ["Send messages only to unique phone numbers"](/use-cases/double-phone-number) use case in which the Update Profiles node is used to tag profiles whose phone number is unique. This way, you can prevent sending the same message to the profiles who have the same phone number. This may happen when a person creates two accounts with different personal data but the same phone number.
