I was thinking of creating shifts for when we have people coming in to work on the weekends they can be temporarily added to the weekend shift. That way others could see who else was working. Is there a better way to handle this? If not, how do you create a shift without having someone assigned to it?

Is there a Teams plugin in available or any plans to integrate it in the future?

Hello, esteemed Front community,In my desire to monitor my own performance, I wanted to understand how to interpret the data obtained through Front analysis, what it relates to in my case, and how to improve processes to have a clear vision of my activity.How can we balance workload and response times within the team to ensure both operational efficiency and customer satisfaction, considering individual differences in handling and response times of team members?Interpretation of DataMessages sent: 30 Average reply time: 59m 20s Average first reply time: 1h 14m Average handle time: 6m 17s Archived conversations: 45Methodology of Calculation and Definition of Indicators

Hello Front Community,In an effort to streamline our customer service processes and enhance efficiency, we've been exploring the use of chatbots to handle customer inquiries and process orders. Here's an overview of our approach and some insights into how we monitor customer satisfaction using Service Level Agreements (SLAs).Utilizing Chatbots for Customer Responses and Order ProcessingChatbots for Customer InquiriesWe have implemented chatbots to manage routine customer inquiries. These chatbots are programmed to provide instant responses to common questions, freeing up our human agents to handle more complex issues. This not only reduces response times but also ensures that customers receive prompt assistance at any time.Automated Order FormsOne of the key functionalities we've developed is the use of chatbots to process customer orders. When a customer sends an email with an order, our chatbot extracts essential information such a

Hey Folks, What is the best way to utilize front when also using a ticketing system with slack? How do you utilize slack to integrate with Front? 

Hello,  I am trying to convert a rule (send to slack rule) into a rule set, so it can be replicated for different mailboxes.However, I keep getting “an error occurred during conversion” Anyone has experience with this? Thank you

Hello Everyone,  Just wanted to check in if anyone has had experience with connecting MS Forms as a channel.We are exploring the possibility of having Form based data coming in from our users, and since MS Forms is part of our M365 suite, wanted to check if it is recommended, if not, we will explore 3rd party forms to connect instead. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hello! I’m currently trying to configure the AI portion of my chatbot. I have set up an external facing knowledge base for the Chatbot to pull from. I have also editing my flow code to incorporate the AI answer feature after open-ended questions as well. However, every time I go to test the feature within the “Preview Mode” the AI Chatbot never produces any answers to my question. Based on this I had a couple of questions: Does the AI feature only work on the User End? Is there another method of testing the AI Chatbot? I would like to see if my knowledge base needs to be updated before making the feature live to my users. 

Hello everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to send one of the preconfigured WhatsApp template messages through the mobile App ?I can do this through the web UI but can not seem to find the equivalent on the mobile App. Thank you in advance.George

Hi Team, I have somebody who's primarily in a different email that is not part of Front and they want to be notified at that different email when something happens regarding them in Front so that they can log in their Front account and address the notification. What is the best setting approach you recommend?  I am looking forward to your response.

Hi,Our team recently started using Front to help triage incoming emails within a shared inbox. We have a set portfolio of customers, and created rules to automatically assign emails to individuals based on the customer name and the @ domain of the originating email. However, there are some customers and business partners that use the same @ domain in their email address so the rules are assigning to the wrong employee or not assigning at all.Has anyone else run into this issue, or know of any additional rules we could put in place to separate multiple accounts that use the same email address? 

Is there is any way to force this rule to work after the priority tag was added to the conversation manually?What we trying to do:P1 - SLA is hourly updatesSLA Warning - Add "SLA Warning" tag after 45 minutes after the conversation arrives and notify indicated users that the SLA deadline is approaching SLA Breach - After 1 hour remove the "SLA Warning" tag, add the "SLA Breach" tag and notify indicated users that SLA was breachedP2 - SLA is daily updatesSLA Warning - Add "SLA Warning" tag after 23 hours after the conversation arrives and notify indicated users that the SLA deadline is approaching SLA Breach - After 24 hours remove the "SLA Warning" tag, add the "SLA Breach" tag and notify indicated users that SLA was breachedP3 - SLA is weekly updatesSLA Warning - Add "SLA Warning" tag after 144 hours after the conversation arrives and notify indicated users that the SLA deadline is approac

Hello everyone!     Our team uses front as an internal ticketing system between contact center agents and us. This could be requests from attendance to volunteer time off. We have the CSAT form implemented in the signature of all our replies. But rarely get responses. Any ideas to improve the use of CSAT surveys from our contact center agents?  Thanks!

Hello everyone!     We have been using front for over a year now, and just realized it had a knowledge base function! We have added multiple types of information and are happy with the finished product. But I am interested in the functionality of the “Knowledge” icon on the plugin bar. Once clicked I see that no KB has been published for our company yet. What is the best way to publish our existing KB, so end users can view content while responding to messages. Do I just have the knowledge base published for only our workspace?  I appreciate the help!

Hello Everyone,There’s been a recent happening in Front, not sure if it’s a bug. We have two customers emails coming through to Front under the same email thread. Has anyone experienced this before and what’s the fix for it? Thank you.

Hi everyone,I’m reaching out to gather some ideas and best practices on how to effectively use Front's analytics features to optimize team efficiency in our accounting firm. We’ve started leveraging Front's analytics to improve our operations, but I’m sure there are many more ways to enhance our use of these tools.Here are a few areas where we’ve found Front's analytics helpful, and where I’m seeking your advice:Tracking Response Times: We’ve been monitoring our response times and setting benchmarks (e.g., responding to all client emails within 24 hours). This has helped us improve client satisfaction, but I’d love to hear how others are using response time data effectively. Workload Distribution: Analyzing the distribution of messages across our team has helped us balance workloads and identify peak times. What strategies do you use to ensure an even workload distribution? Identifying Bottlenecks

Looking for all possible methods of linking the conversations if we need to link the conversations if only one word in the subjects matches.Example:Conversation#1Subject: Load Number <T001945718> of Customer <Test customer1> booked with DNU Carrier <Test carrier2>Conversation#2 (arrived after Conversation#1)Subject: Load Number <T001945718> of Customer <Customer test2> booked with DNU Carrier <Carrier test2>The load number matched on both conversations and it is a unique number.So when Conversation#2 is arrived we need Front to recognize that we have other conversations in the same inbox with the same Load Number and link these conversations.At this time we are not able to use the Dynamic Objects that can link to externally-stored information.
