Tags & Labels

Categorize tasks with tags — add, remove, filter, and organize work by type, area, or any custom label.

Tags let you categorize tasks beyond status, assignee, and channel. Use them to track work types (bug, feature), areas (frontend, backend), or any custom label your team needs.

Adding tags

At creation via @mention

@Tickr create a task to fix the login crash — it's a bug in the frontend

Tickr automatically suggests tags like bug and frontend based on categorization cues in your message.

At creation via modal

Use the Tags field in the /tickr create modal. Enter comma-separated labels:

bug, frontend, urgent

After creation via slash command

/tickr tag 01KH9DN3 bug frontend

Add one or more tags to a task.

Tags are merged with any existing tags on the task. Maximum 10 tags per task.

Via @mention

@Tickr add tags bug and frontend to the login task

@Tickr tag the checkout task as urgent

Removing tags

/tickr untag 01KH9DN3 frontend

Remove one or more tags from a task.

@Tickr remove the urgent tag from the login task

If all tags are removed, Tickr confirms with "Removed all tags from Task Title."

Filtering by tag

@Tickr show me all bug tasks

@Tickr what frontend work is open?

@Tickr list tasks tagged urgent

Tickr filters the board by tag and returns only matching tasks. Tag filters can be combined with status filters (e.g., "open frontend tasks").

Tag normalization

Tags are automatically normalized:

Converted to lowercase (Bug becomes bug)
Spaces replaced with hyphens (tech debt becomes tech-debt)
Special characters removed (only letters, numbers, and hyphens allowed)
Duplicates removed
Maximum 10 tags per task

Where tags appear

Surface	How tags are shown
Task cards	`#bug #frontend` context line
Task list (`/tickr list`)	`#bug #frontend` suffix
Suggestion cards	`#bug #frontend` context line
Board canvas table	Tags column
Board canvas details	Tags: bug, frontend
AI board context	Included in per-task context for AI interactions

💡 Organize within a channel

Use tags to slice your board by work type. For example, tag tasks as bug, feature, or tech-debt, then filter with @Tickr show me all bug tasks to focus on what matters.

Availability

Tags are available on all plans (Trial, Pro, Max).
