This action will allow you to remove tags that your leads currently have. Perhaps you have a workflow for when they submit an opt-in form that adds a tag, and you have another workflow for when they purchase a product. In the second workflow, you can remove the contact tag that was added in the opt-in workflow.
A workflow
Click on “Add your first action” or the “+” to add an action.
Select the option Remove Contact Tag
Filter by the tag you want to remove.
Toggle between standard values and a custom value picker for specific field types. To do so, simply change the field type to "Custom" via the three dots next to the field and select the desired value from the custom value picker.
In the custom values tags that are added can be string ‘tag-1’ or [‘tag-1’, ‘tag-2’], or ‘tag-1, tag-2’
Note: The feature currently applies to "Add Contact Tag" and "Remove Contact Tag" actions.
Real-Life Use Cases for Standard values and Custom Value picker:
Create tags combining service type and location, e.g., "bushtrimming-{{contact.postal_code}}."
Generate tags based on the user setting a lead, like "setter_{{user.name}}."
Add tags for sign-up offers or dates, such as "Signup-{{right_now.month}}-{{right_now.year}}."
