Outpost automatically applies labels to members as they move through subscription lifecycle events, interact with your conversion tools, and sync with integrations. These labels are visible in your member list and Ghost, and can be used as triggers and conditions in email flows and the rules engine.
Labels prefixed with ZZZ_ sort to the bottom of Ghost’s label list — this is intentional to keep system tracking labels out of the way. Labels prefixed with # are behavior flags.Several labels use dynamic suffixes (dates, IDs, GUIDs, slugs) to carry extra data within the label name itself.
