Archiving emails from boxes

I have tried to find this, I am sure it is easy I just can’t find it.We have a shared Team inbox, its for our emails, we actually have one for our messaging too. Now here is the problem. Say I am in the inbox I respond to customer and archive. Our other users still see it as open in the inboxI have looked up and down for settings I can’t figure out how to change this behavior.When we archive from the shared inbox we need it archived from there across all agents, I am sure I am missing it and it is super simple :)

How to make a knowledge base available in more than one language

Hello! I am getting started on creating an internal knowledge base (and an external one later). Both our staff and customers are dominantly either French or English speaking, is there a way to make the content of a knowledge base accommodate different languages without manually creating the same content in both French and English? Thank you for any help!

Workspace Rules - Forward To actjk

The Frontapp workspace rules action currently has Forward To as a valid selectable action. This action is intended to forward the conversation to a configured email address. However, if the source of the conversation is not of type email, the action is skipped. There is currently no hints, documentation, logs, or indication that this action is not supported or that the action only works when the source of the conversation is email. The user interface presents itself as a included feature and silently fails.

Extracting Dates

Hello, I know extracting dates from the message body is not currently built in to Front, but curious if anyone has any workarounds? I can extract the date as a string and then convert to a number but having trouble pulling it all together?Would love to take this: 08/12/2023 and say if within 30 days do X action, otherwise leave alone.

Combining Shared Inboxes Into Consolidated Channels

My group specifically had multiple shared inboxes created for our different customers that were ported into Front. Our current setup has each shared inbox routing into its own channel. I have a thought to combine certain shared inboxes that are managed by specific teams into consolidated channels. Has anyone in the Front Community had success with this?

Best way to handle customers replying to old threads for new cases

Hello,It seems the default action is for Front to simply place a reply on an old thread back in to Assigned to me box.In the past we have seen a customer reply to an old thread for a new request, and for one reason or another the reopened thread in Assigned to me was missed by that person.It seems like within Edit Rule, there could be a condition if Archived to send it back to unassigned. I have tried a few combinations but nothing clicks.Ideally, if a conversation is Archived, and a reply reopens it, it goes back to the unassigned box.Thanks for any guidance.

Is an API required to trigger tasks creation in Hubspot?

We are using hubspot for most of our current automation and processes. Can I use a automation rule to generate a task in Hubspot when XYZ conditions or do I need to create an API for that?

Can an action be to create an email using IA

I know that it is fairly easy to setup automation and have an automatic reply using a template but is it possible to trigger an action that would generate an IA answer and have it saved as draft for a teammate review before sending?

AMA with Front's Head of Customer Support, Kenji HaywardAMA

We’re back with another exciting AMA, this time with Front’s Head of Customer Support, @Kenji Hayward! We know many of you run your support teams on Front, so we’ve invited Kenji to answer all your questions about how we’re able to run an award-winning, yet very lean, support team fully using the power of Front. You might’ve even written in to our support team yourself and experienced the fantastic service they provide! Fun fact: I was the second hire on our support team years ago, and have worked with every person on the team since then, so I know first-hand how great they are — I will always have a special place in my heart for support 😃 But don’t just take my word for it — here are a few stats about our support team (which we also continuously update on our website):We’ve had a 97% CSAT rating over the last 3 months, but this stat has been consistent over time, with many 💯 CSAT months (we wrote all about it here) Our email response time is 2h 9m 18s Our live chat response time is

Context Link Implementation - Order number not present in URL

Hi all!I’ve tried working with context links and I’m a bit stuck. I’m trying to build one that pulls our Shopify order page, using the order number. The format is Order #XXXXX. The main issue I’m having is that the order number appears nowhere in the URL, they seem to differ quite a lot. I’ve poked around on Shopify’s forums trying to figure out an alternative but I’m a bit stumped. Any advice would be appreciated!

Monday.com integration and workflow

Hello! Has anyone been using the Monday.com integration in your sidebar? Are you finding it useful? Time saver? How are your teams using this feature as it relates to Front? Some of our teams are heavy Monday.com users and some moderate users. Some of our team does not use this at all, they have no need and no access. So given all the levels our team experiences, I am trying to find the best uses for this across the board.

Leveraging the power of Summarize with AI

Hi! I’m interested to hear any input about how other teams are leveraging the power of the Summarize with AI tool. Are you seeing marked differences in team collaboration, time savings/efficiency, improved team member satisfaction? Have you been able to quantify the improvement(s) in any way? In what use case examples is this tool proving to be the most effective?Thanks :)

We are looking for ways to organize both our personal inboxes and shared inboxes. We would like to be able to see unread messages first/at the top of the inbox. We also would like for shared inboxes to have send settings. We do not want emails to archive when we reply to them.

Is there a way to export all emails/threads containing the same filter?

For instance all emails from the same sender, or all emails tagged with the same tag. Is there a way to export all of this content from Front? Our team’s idea here is that they want to be able to use ChatGPT/AI to extract info in bulk or summarize content.Thanks!

See Non-Front Users Calendars (in our workspace)

Is there any way to see non-Front users calendars in our workspace in Front? I can see them when I go to view calendars and enter their email in there but it does not auto-populate when generating meetings. Any workarounds anyone is aware of?
