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.

Light body of message through core API

Hello, I am trying to retrieve the light body of the message (i.e the last message without the former messages). I saw that you had something similar with the API on your end but it seems that there no such thing with the CoreAPI, is there any way I can come any closed to this ? I will suggest it through the product form. Thanks,Best regards,

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?

Building a Front Application Webhook handler in Make.com

Sharing a quick snippet of how to build a Front Application Webhook handler in Make.com. This differs a little from handling a simple webhook call from a Front rule, as you need to perform a setup step and have your webhook respond to a challenge sent by Front’s webhook server. To start, head to Make.com and create a new Scenario with a Webhooks (Custom webhook) trigger. Click the Create a webhook button, and open up the advanced settings. Be sure to enable Get request headers; these are required in the next step. Hit Save. Creating a Webhook trigger in Make.com Next, we can add a Flow Control > Router step. We’ll use this to branch into two different paths, depending on whether this is the initial setup challenge webhook call, or receiving regular webhook updates.For our challenge path, we’ll configure a filter that looks like this:Make.com Router, filtering on request headersWhat this does is access the HTTP headers of the webhook request, and extracts the one header with the name

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

Removing Formatting?

How do I remove formatting in front? Here is a typical scenario. I do a copy and past and it pastes the formatting. In Apple mail I would just do “remove formatting”. Only way I have found in front is to change it to markup, remove any urls, and then go back. This is cumbersome

Authenticate a specific user against a plugin / verify user in plugin context

I would like to know if I can have front to authenticate a user against a front plugin. The plugin does receive an auth_secret but it is a global value and can easily be traced in the http inspector.Is there an option to have an auth_secret per user that only that user can see?How secure is the `tea_XXXX` id I can find in `context.teammate.id`. I think that these don’t seem to be not visible / guessable on the front end?Basically, how sure can I be that in the context that my plugin receives, the teammate is actually the currently logged in front teammate and that the context has not been tampered with? Thanks,Tilmann

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? 😊

Integrations

Hi all, Not sure if this is the correct location for this. I run a Technical Support team and we have inbound via email and WhatsApp as well as Zoho CRM tasks. Zoho Desk didn’t work out for us as it would not work with custom modules of CRM. We don’t a yet have a developer. Front looks like it may suit us but we use personal email, shared team inboxes and we also use WhatsApp groups that involve the team but also customers in those groups. Can Front work with WhatsApp groups (as well as 1 to 1 WhatsApps) and Zoho tasks?
