Tags allow you to categorize and filter errors in Honeybadger. You can use tags to:

* Group errors by feature area (e.g., “checkout”, “auth”, “api”)
* Mark errors by severity or priority
* Filter errors in the Honeybadger dashboard

## Adding tags to errors

To tag errors when reporting them to Honeybadger, use `honeybadger.Tags`:

```go
honeybadger.Notify(err, honeybadger.Tags{"timeout", "http"})
```

You can add multiple tags as separate strings in the slice.

## Combining tags with other options

Tags can be combined with context and other notification options:

```go
honeybadger.Notify(err,
    honeybadger.Tags{"checkout", "payment"},
    honeybadger.Context{"order_id": 12345},
)
```

See the [Go package documentation](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/honeybadger-io/honeybadger-go) for more details.
