How does one bulk-remove a tag?

Ask a question
1

I want to remove a tag from 1000 (or 10k) users.
how would I go about doing this via the API or the bulk API?

You can do an advanced search in the contacts list page to narrow down all the contacts that need to be edited, then click ‘Edit All’, then ‘Remove a tag’

Alas, this did not answer my question.
:frowning:

In the meantime, I have jerry-rigged something whereby

  1. we can use the bulk API to bulk apply a tag named e.g. “delete-tag-FOO”
  2. implment an automation which is invoked by delete-tag-FOO and removes FOO as a result

This is of course not a general solution and it seemed to work for a week, and now bulk-tagging seems to have mysteriously stopped working :frowning:
