Steps

  1. POST name, color, and optional description to https://api.buttondown.com/v1/tags
  2. Tag names must be unique per newsletter; a duplicate name returns 400 with name_already_exists and the existing tag's id in the response metadata
  3. To upsert instead of erroring, send X-Buttondown-Collision-Behavior: overwrite, which updates the existing tag and returns 200
  4. Apply tags to a subscriber at creation time via the tags array on POST /v1/subscribers, or update an existing subscriber's tags
  5. Set subscriber_editable: true if subscribers should be able to add/remove the tag themselves via the subscriber portal
