How to Sync Labels and Tags Effectively in Unito

Keep your work organized with synced labels and tags in your flow's field mappings or apply them as rules to filter out unrelated data.

What this article covers:

When you create a flow between supported tools, Unito automatically matches identical labels and tags if they already exist in both tools.

If your labels or tags have different names in each tool (e.g., "Bug" in GitHub vs. "Defect" in Asana), you can easily map them together in Unito to ensure they sync correctly by adjusting your field mappings.

How to customize label and tag field mappings

  1. Go to your flow's settings and click Edit mapped fields. quickstart walkthrough
  2. Find the "Labels/Tags" mapping (or equivalent if you're working with a custom field that has a different name) and click on the gear icon to expand it. Here, you can:
    • Add new mappings: Click + Add more .... to set new pairs of labels or tags between tools. In the above example, we've told Unito that a "red label" in the left-hand side is the equivalent to a "yellow label" on the right-hand side. 
    • Remove mappings: Hover over a mapping and click the trash bin icon to delete it.
    • Modify mappings: Click on the existing labels or tags to change their pairing.

What happens if I don't map labels or tags?

If you don't map labels or tags, Unito will not sync them. Alternatively, you can set up default rules when creating new work items in a one-way flow to apply labels without a label mapping.

In the above example, any time Unito creates a new ClickUp task, it will be set to the default tag masterboard.

Wrike example: labels and tags

Wrike doesn't use traditional labels, but you can still map tags from other tools to the Wrike task description footer. This ensures that all relevant information is captured and synced, even if it doesn't fit perfectly into Wrike's structure.

Using labels and tags in rules

Rules in Unito let you filter which items are synced based on specific conditions, including labels and tags. Here's how:

  1. Go to your flow settings and click Edit rules. quickstart walkthrough rules
  2. Select Add a new rule, then "Labels" or "Tags," depending on the tool and your use case. 
  3. Choose the operator (e.g., "is," "is not," "includes," "does not include").
  4. Select the specific label or tag you want to use for filtering. Note that multiple can be selected from this list in any one rule. Users will not have to add additional label/tag rules for every label/tag they wish to include.
