Documentation

Does exactly as it says. :) Optionally, use combinations of tags to require, and/or combinations of tags to add.

Configure this task with customer tags to watch for on the left, and associated tags to add on the right. (Feel free to use comma-delimited lists on either side of that mapping!) This task will run whenever a customer is created or updated, tagging as configured.
