Overview
The Remove Tags operation for the Tags resource in this custom n8n node allows you to remove one or more tags from a specific record in a selected Zoho CRM module (such as Leads, Contacts, Deals, etc.). This is useful for keeping your CRM data organized and up-to-date by programmatically managing tag associations on records.
Common scenarios:
- Removing outdated or incorrect tags from CRM records.
- Automating cleanup of tags after certain workflow steps are completed.
- Ensuring compliance with new tagging standards across modules.
Practical example:
Suppose you have a lead in Zoho CRM that was previously tagged as "Prospect" and "Newsletter". After the lead converts, you want to automatically remove these tags. This node operation can be used in an n8n workflow to remove those tags from the lead record.
