Every draft in Typefully carries more than its text. Tags, an internal title, and a scratchpad live alongside your writing, and they're what keep a growing pile of drafts findable, for you and for any AI agent you connect.
The Draft Properties sidebar
You'll find:
Draft title. An internal name for the draft. It's only ever shown inside Typefully, never published. Click the ✨ icon to have AI suggest one from what you've written.
Tags. Color-coded labels for organizing and filtering. More on these below.
Scratchpad. A notes field for anything that isn't the post itself: hooks you cut, links to sources, reminders. Start a line with
[]and a space to turn it into a to-do you can check off. Type:for emoji, and use bold, italic, underline, and bullet lists as you like.
Below those, Typefully shows read-only info about the draft: its Draft ID, character and post counts, and the activity log of who changed what and when. See Draft Activity for more on that.
Note: if a draft is shared with you and you don't have edit access, the title, tags, and scratchpad are visible but locked.
Tags belong to a social set
Each social set has its own set of tags. A tag you create while writing for one account won't show up on another.
This is deliberate: a personal account and a client account rarely want the same labels. If you do want the same ones in both, you can copy them across in a couple of clicks (see Import tags below).
Adding tags to a draft
Click the Tags field in the Draft Properties sidebar and start typing.
Pick an existing tag from the list, or
Keep typing a new name and hit Enter to create it on the spot. It's added to that social set's tags and applied to the draft.
You can also tag the open draft from the Command Bar (⌘ K on Mac, Ctrl K on Windows). Your tags are listed there, and selecting one toggles it on or off.
Managing your tags
Open the tag manager from the ••• button next to Tags in the Draft Properties sidebar, or from Manage and create... in the Command Bar.
From there you can:
Rename a tag by clicking its name
Recolor it by clicking its dot and picking from the palette
Delete it with the ✕ button
Filter your drafts by it with the 👁 button
Renaming and recoloring apply everywhere the tag appears, on every draft that uses it.
Import tags
Setting up a new social set doesn't mean starting from zero. At the bottom of the tag manager, pick a source and click Import tags:
Starter tags, a small ready-made set to get going
Any of your other social sets, to copy the tags you already use
If the social set already has tags, Typefully asks whether to add the imported ones alongside them or replace what's there.
Filtering drafts by tag
In the left sidebar, click the filter icon next to the Drafts / Queue / Posted tabs, then open Tags and pick one or more.
The filter applies to whichever tab you're on, so you can narrow your drafts, your queue, or your posted content
Active filters show up as chips under the tabs. Click the ✕ on a chip to drop it, or Reset filters to clear everything
The same menu also filters by platform, and sorts your drafts
One shortcut worth knowing: any new draft you create while a tag filter is active starts with those tags already applied. Filter to newsletter, hit new draft, and it's tagged.
The Command Bar (⌘ K) lists your tags too, if you'd rather filter from the keyboard.
Tags in the calendar
The calendar is where tags pay off most. Tags show right on the post cards, so a month of content reads as a content mix rather than a list of dates: how much is product, how much is hiring, how long it's been since you posted a customer story.
Filter the calendar by tag
Click the filter icon in the calendar toolbar and open Tags. Pick as many as you like, and combine them with the status and platform filters to answer things like "show me everything tagged launch that isn't scheduled yet."
The calendar shows every social set you have access to, so when several sets are on screen the tag menu offers the tags from all of them. Focus on a single set in the sidebar and the list narrows to that set's tags.
Choose how much the cards show
Next to the filter is the display icon. Turn off Show tags for a cleaner board, or switch cards to compact when you want more weeks on screen. These are your own viewing preferences and don't change anything for your teammates.
Tag posts as you create them
Click an empty slot in the calendar to open Quick Create, then click the Tags chip. You can pick existing tags or create new ones without leaving the composer, so posts land on the calendar already organized instead of waiting to be tidied up later.
The calendar has three views, and your tag filter follows you between them. See Scheduling and Calendar for the full tour.
Tags and AI agents
Tags aren't only for you. Connect Typefully to an AI agent like Claude, through the Typefully MCP server or the API, and your tags become the handle it uses to find things.
The text of a post is unstructured, but a tag is not. That makes tags the most reliable way to point an agent at a specific slice of your content:
"Pull everything tagged
launch-q3and tell me what still isn't scheduled""Write three posts in the style of my
hot-takeones"
Draft titles travel with them, so an agent can tell your drafts apart without reading every one. Which is a good reason to tag consistently: the vocabulary you use becomes the vocabulary your agents work in.
