A tag is removed
Filters define which tags should trigger the workflow
Without filters, all tag changes trigger the workflow
When Triggers Apply
Contact Tag triggers only apply to future changes.
Only tags added after workflow publish will trigger
Existing tagged contacts are NOT included automatically
Retroactive enrollment must be used for existing contacts

FAQ
Do Contact Tag triggers apply to existing contacts?
No. They only apply to tags added after the workflow is published.
How do I include contacts who already have the tag?
Use retroactive enrollment to add existing tagged contacts to the workflow.
What happens if I save without filters?
The workflow will trigger for every tag added or removed across all contacts.
Can I disable the warnings?
The retroactive banner can be dismissed. The no-filter warning can be bypassed by choosing “Save without filters.”
Why is my workflow triggering unexpectedly?
This usually happens when no filters are configured, causing all tag changes to trigger the workflow.
