How to Create Tags for Your Facebook Contacts Using ChatSilo

Organizing your Facebook conversations into clear categories helps you prioritize hot leads, track customer follow-ups, and avoid losing valuable messages in a cluttered inbox. In ChatSilo, tags act as custom color-coded labels that you can assign to any contact or conversation.

Follow this guide to create and organize new tags directly inside the ChatSilo extension.

Step 1: Open ChatSilo inside Facebook Messages

Open your browser and navigate to facebook.com/messages

Once the page loads, click the purple ChatSilo icon in the top-right corner of your browser toolbar to open the extension panel.

Note: Make sure you are logged into your Facebook account before opening ChatSilo so the extension can automatically link with your messages.

Step 2: Click "+ Add Tag"

Inside the ChatSilo extension window, make sure you are on the My tags tab. Then, locate and click the + Add Tag button in the upper-right corner.

Step 3: Enter a tag name and confirm

An ADD TAG modal will appear on your screen:

1. Click inside the Tag Name field and type your desired label name (for example, "New Leads" or "Chatsilo Customers").
2. Click the green + Add button to save your new tag.

Tip: Choose concise, descriptive names that reflect your pipeline stages or customer segments (e.g., New Leads, Follow-Up, VIP Clients). This makes them easy to find and apply when sorting through messages.

Step 4: Verify your new tag in the list

Once saved, return to the My tags section of the ChatSilo panel. Your newly created tag will immediately appear in the grid, displaying its name, color badge, and associated contact count.

You're all set! You can now start assigning this tag to any contact from your Messenger chat list, Facebook Friends page, or Facebook Group member lists.
