404 for newly imported message?

I’m successfully creating new conversations by posting `/inboxes/inb_1234/imported_messages` endpont. it returns something like:{ conversation_reference: '...', message_uid: 'abcdefg88fbc88046053ecd6e319', status: 'accepted' } I want the conversation id from that so I can add links etc. So I’m passing the message_uid to messages as so:curl --request GET \ --url https://api2.frontapp.com/messages/alt:uid:abcdefg88fbc88046053ecd6e319 \ --header 'accept: application/json' \ --header 'authorization: Bearer <token>but that returns: { "_error": { "status": 404, "title": "Not found" }} What am I doing wrong?

Archive Conservations not Unarchiving when I receive an email. And new emails going to Archive.

Why is it that all of my archive messages when i get replies, are no longer showing in “Open”? They are not unarchiving and I have no idea why. I currently dont have any rules in place so that should not be the issue.

Get Token from Plugin SDK

Building a plugin using the plugin SDK and now I need to use the Core API to create a comment on a ticket. Instead of handling API Tokens or going through the OAuth dance, is it possible to just get an appropriate token from the Plugin SDK to use for Core API requests?

Trying to Set up Front - with x3 Users... but only 1 email address

Good afternoon, We are VERY green to Front… Initially, I was under the impression, we would be able to set x3 team members - so that we can each log in to access the same 1 email inbox. We do not have different email addresses - as we currently only log on via web access to gmail. moving forward, Would love it so that we can chat between us remotely - but each time I try to set up a team mate, it asks for an email address… and naturally - we only have the 1 for all 3 of us?? My head is boggled!! please help… cheers

Teammate Transparency/Multiple companies using Teams

Hello. I am looking for suggestions, tried sales and sent a support ticket, but there is no reply. I would like to set up my clients as individual, siloed TEAMS. They would have full access to the other users on their team (all 50 users at a salon), 100 users on another team at an insurance company, and 5 people on another team at a dance studio for example. The idea is that the Salon would have about 50 people doing scheduling, having a shared inbox, individual google business emails etc. They could use Front, well, like Front. But, today, when I started to set them up, I noticed a user in 1 team can see ALL of the other members of every other team, this does not seem right to me. In fact, my client noticed it before I did and was like why do I see this person and that person, who are those people? I want to add them to MY account so I can get stuff pushed to me from them that I need to take care of, and they can share messages and chat with each other and me but NOT the insurance c

About Message ID and detecting mail or multiple mails within conversation

Hi,I am currently visioning kind of an order recognizion plugin which potentially could automatically detect which orders does the conversation consider.Idea behing this is that we currently do add the Message ID of received orders to the order itself while adding it to our ERP. This helps greatly but I’d like to make it even easier and potentially with added possibility to even edit the orders via iFrame element within Front.But to make it happen, I would need to know if it’s even possible to create a plugin with a function to detect multiple Message ID:s from conversation (and then do the math with the data which comes from the ERPs server)?What do yo say? Would it be possible or would you have better ideas? 😊

Where do Webhook URLs come from?

Replying with email to a custom channel

Hi there, When sending a message to a custom channel via the API (https://api2.frontapp.com/channels/{channel_id}/incoming_messages), is it possible to set an email address that should be replied to for when a user in Front tries to reply? Or, is there a better way of sending messages to Front as if they were an email? My use case is a customer filling in a form on our website, which triggers sends a message to front (currently a custom channel) - our team will then action the request & reply to the message, which I'm expecting to be delivered via email to the initial customer.
