How to Use Notes and Tags to Organize Contacts

With HiHello Professional and HiHello Business, you can organize your contacts with tags and notes. Adding notes and tags is a wonderful way to keep essential things organized, like who you met and when you met them.

With a HiHello Professional, HiHello Business, or HiHello Enterprise subscription you can add notes and tags to your contacts.

Notes are a great way to maintain that personal connection you’ve made while networking. When adding people on HiHello, I will often add a note to their contact that includes something they may have mentioned in passing, like their dog’s name or favorite color. Next time I connect with this person, I can ask Juan—who I met at Summit 2.0—how his poodle Gerald is doing. 


Adding tags to your contacts is a great way to keep your smart address book organized. For example, if I add a “Summit 2.0” tag to each person I met at that event when I look at my HiHello contacts, I’ll see a distinct contact group that includes everyone with a Summit 2.0 tag.


Tags and notes are private to your account, so rest assured none of your contacts know you are keeping them organized with other event attendees!

A group of CEOs went out for ice cream after the conference. I wanted to remember that Juan said his favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip. We also bonded over bagels, so I put his favorite type of bagel in there as well, so next time we do breakfast, I can make sure the bagel shop has egg everything bagels handy!

4. Click Save.
