Move conversation, not forward, for shared inbox handoffs
When a support thread needs a new owner during a migration, move the conversation into the right shared inbox instead of forwarding a fresh copy.
Why this can grow a startup
Forwarded copies split the context right when a team most needs continuity. A move keeps the thread history, status, and accountability tied to one object. That makes escalations easier to trust and gives evaluators visible proof that the new support system can hand work across teams without losing the story.
Source-backed example
Front recommends moving conversations to another inbox when the goal is to hand a thread to the right team, because the same conversation stays intact instead of becoming a forwarded side thread.

When to use it
Use this when Support, Email, Workflow is relevant to handoff, support ops, migration and you can run a bounded test with a free budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
How to do it
- Choose one target segment and define the exact next action this tactic should prompt.
- Adapt the tactic to Support and Email, using evidence from Front Help as context—not as a promised result.
- Record a baseline for: Share of the target cohort repeating the core action within the chosen period. Set a guardrail that would make you pause the test.
- Run a narrow pilot and choose a test window that fits the normal decision or use cycle; do not scale before you have observed the full cycle.
- Compare the signal with its baseline. Scale only if the intended action improves without crossing the guardrail; otherwise revise one variable or stop and record what you learned.
