Summary

Adds tags to a person in Follow Up Boss.

Inputs

  • authentication (required) — Authentication method for the Follow Up Boss API. Defaults to API Key; OAuth2 is also supported via node configuration or runtime selection.
  • personId (required) — Identifier of the person. Three modes are available: By ID (numeric string validated against [0-9]+), By URL (full person URL with regex-based ID extraction), or From list (select via the getPeople search method).
  • tagsMode — Choose how to provide the tags. Defaults to Manual; can be switched to JSON Array for dynamic tag sources from previous nodes.
  • tagsManual — Enter one tag per line. Commas inside lines are preserved. Displayed when tagsMode is set to manual.
  • tagsJson — Map an array of strings here (e.g., {{ $JSON.tags }}). Displayed when tagsMode is set to json.

Output shape

The person record with tags applied, as returned by the Follow Up Boss API.

The exact return shape follows the API's response for the person update endpoint. n8n passes the resulting item downstream.

Examples

Example 1: Add static tags to a person by ID using API Key authentication.

authentication: API Key; personId: { mode: ID, value: 12345 }; tagsMode: manual; tagsManual: Lead Source: Zillow

Example 2: Add dynamic tags from a previous node's JSON array.

authentication: API Key; personId: { mode: list }; tagsMode: json; tagsJson: {{ $JSON.tags }}
