Required tagging before archive or move
Force teams to tag a support thread before they archive or reroute it, so the queue keeps producing usable product and operations signal.
Why this can grow a startup
A lot of support analytics fail because categorization is optional when the team is busy. Front's required tagging rule moves that discipline into the workflow itself. If a conversation cannot be moved or archived without a tag, the queue starts generating cleaner topic data, cleaner routing, and better evidence for product decisions. The move is simple, but it turns support from memory-driven anecdote into something the team can actually measure.
Source-backed example
Front's required tagging rule prompts teammates to add approved tags before they can archive or move conversations in the targeted inboxes.

Required tagging blocks archive or move actions until the conversation is tagged, while still preserving automated archive rules.

When to use it
Use this when Support, Operations, Product is relevant to feedback loop, support ops, queue hygiene 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 Operations, using evidence from Front Help as context—not as a promised result.
- Record a baseline for: Users who resolve the issue and complete the next useful action. 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.
