How to Sync Labels and Tags Effectively in Unito

Keep your work organized across tools by ensuring labels and tags sync smoothly in your field mappings or as rules to filter unrelated data from syncing.

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 and click on the gear icon to expand it. Here, you can:
    • Add new mappings: Click the "+" sign to create new pairs of labels or tags that should be synced together.
    • Remove mappings: Hover over a mapping and click the trash can icon to delete it.
    • Modify mappings: Click on the existing labels or tags to change their pairing.

Label and tag syncing with Wrike

Wrike doesn't use traditional labels, bit 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.

Label syncing in Jira

Jira has a few quirks when it comes to syncing labels. First, unlike some other tools, you can't manually customize the syncing of labels. That's because labels have to match exactly in order to sync to — and from — Jira projects. That requirement is case-sensitive, so make sure you're not trying to sync a To-Do label with a to-do one.

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.
