# Organize and categorize emails with tags for better overview

> Organize emails with tags and categorize them to maintain better oversight in your Lettermint dashboard.

Our [SDKs and API](https://lettermint.co/integrations) now support adding **tags** to emails. Whether you're sending [transactional emails](https://lettermint.co/features/transactional-emails)
or [broadcast emails](https://lettermint.co/features/broadcast-emails) like campaigns and
newsletters, tags let you organize and categorize emails for better oversight.

Examples of using tags:

- **Campaigns**: categorize emails by campaign and gain insights
into each campaign's performance.
- **Email types**: distinguish between different types of emails, like
orders and payment confirmations.
- **Priority**: mark emails based on their urgency, such as
password resets.
- **Departments**: assign emails to specific teams, like
customer service or marketing.

## Using tags

Tags can be used through our SDKs, SMTP, and API. Here's how to assign tags
to emails using PHP:

```php
$lettermint = new Lettermint\Lettermint('your-api-key');

$lettermint->email
    ->from('John Doe <john@yourdomain.com>')
    ->to('recipient@example.com')
    ->subject('Your acount is ready!')
    ->html('<h1>Welcome!</h1><p>Thanks for signing up.</p>')
    ->text('Welcome! Thanks for signing up.')
    ->tag('onboarding')
    ->send();
```

If a tag doesn't exist yet, it's automatically created. Tags
can be used multiple times and assigned to multiple emails.

For more information about using tags and requirements, check our
[documentation](https://docs.lettermint.co/platform/emails/tags).

## Dashboard overview

Within the Lettermint dashboard, you can easily filter by tags to get a
better overview of emails. This is especially useful when you want to
find specific emails or view campaign performance.

Besides the dashboard, you can also [filter by tags through our API](https://docs.lettermint.co/platform/emails/tags#filtering-messages).
