Hello,  
  
  
  
Could you please tell me if while creating a campaign there is any option (condition) to exclude a contact if this has a specific tag?  
  
  
  
Basically, I would like to be able to run a campaign to all contacts from “XYZ list”, but only if they don’t have the ‘Welcome’ Tag.  
  
  
  
My idea would be something like this:  
  
1- Launch Campaign Builder  
  
2- Lead Source \> Choose the (Forms or Lists)  
  
3- Conditions \> Tags – (‘Exist’ or ‘Doesn’t Exist’) – ‘Welcome’  
  
4- Add Lead Source.  
  
  
  
Is this somehow possible?  
  
  
  
Thanks in advance.

Conditions are only for lead fields and form fields for now. But it is a good idea for a feature request ( [https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues) )
