# Create, Update and Assign Contact Tags

## Manage your Tags for your contacts

### Why do you need tags for Contacts?

Often, you work with a project-based structure or need to distinguish and organize customers within your dashboard and API. You may also want to filter and structure them in a flexible way.

For this purpose, tags are a very useful feature. You can assign tags to contacts (as well as DNS zones and domains, see other articles) to better organize your data and structure.

Tags are also available via the API and can help you organize and automate your domain reselling business, as well as support internal documentation and workflows.

Please note that you cannot change the type of a tag once it has been created. Each tag is assigned to a specific object type, such as “contact”. Therefore, a contact tag cannot be converted into a domain tag or any other type.

### Where can i manage my contact tags?

Path: Left sidebar → Settings → Tags  
Direct URL: `/settings/tags`
