# How to Merge Email Conversations

Merging conversations combines related email threads into a single conversation, keeping all messages, comments, and context together.

[Missive](https://missiveapp.com) is a collaborative email app that makes it easy to merge conversations. When you merge, all messages, comments, labels, and assignees transfer to the target conversation.

## Ways to merge conversations in Missive

### Drag and drop

Drag a conversation from the list and drop it onto another conversation. Confirm the merge when prompted.

### Using copy and paste

1. Right-click a conversation and select **Copy link**
2. Open the target conversation
3. Press <kbd>⌘/Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>G</kbd> or right-click and select **Merge...**
4. Paste the conversation link
5. Click **Merge**

{% hint style="warning" %}
You must paste a **conversation link**, not a message link. Copying a link from inside a message (e.g. via **Copy message link**) will result in an "Invalid URL" error. Only links copied from the conversation list or via right-clicking a conversation work here.
{% endhint %}

### Batch merging

1. Select multiple conversations by holding <kbd>⌘/Ctrl</kbd> and clicking each one
2. Right-click the selection
3. Select **Merge**

### From the sidebar

In the right sidebar's **Latest conversations** section, drag and drop one conversation preview onto another.

### Automatic merging with rules

Create a rule with the **Merge in conversation** action to automatically combine incoming messages based on conditions you define.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Merging cannot be undone. The source conversation is permanently combined into the target.
{% endhint %}
