Front users

Hi Front Reps, We are trialling your software and are finding it hard to figure out how we are best to use it as it is actually creating ALOT more work for our team Let me explain what is happening specifically. Our shared inbox, and some personal inboxes, have automations from email platforms that send email from our accounts. This is incredibly common, it saves our team dozens if not hundreds of hours a month.  For example, if a new lead comes in, a series of 10 emails get automatically sent from my inbox over the course of the next few months. If a project is completed, the request a review email gets sent. We also have a CRM that sends emails directly from Gmail and syncs with that. In front - it seems that every time one of these platforms sends an email (they do sync with my gmail inbox, and send from my gmail itself, eg: these emails send from the gmail account via api using these email automation tools so we can see all emails) - all these automations then appear in my INBOX in

Hello everyone,I'm currently using Front as part of my workflow in an accounting firm, and I'm looking for some advice and inspiration. Our team consists of several accountants, administrative staff, and interns, and we seeking seamless methods to manage client communications, schedule appointments, and share important updates within our team.I've started utilizing Front's shared inbox feature to streamline client inquiries and ensure that no message goes unanswered. However, I'm curious about how other firms are maximizing their use of Front for internal communication and task management. Specifically, I'm interested in:Automated Workflows: Are there specific rules or automations you have created that have significantly improved your efficiency? Integration with Other Tools: We use a few different tools for client records, billing, and financial analysis. How have you integrated Front with other tools in your tech stack? Team Collaboration: Any tips on using Front's tagging, commentin

Hi! Excited to be part of the Front community, as there’s a lot of things I love about the application.During the weekdays, we have one box the whole team uses and responds to, but a lot of the members don’t sign out, so conversations still get assigned to them.On the weekend, it’s just me and one other person taking turns managing the box, and it’s SOP to clear out 100+ emails at a time as they are “inquiries”- in other words, people asking to do a job for us, where hundreds of emails will come in, but then only one of them actually gets it, and it’s unnecessary to even respond to the others (they know that).I need to stay in open view so I see all conversations, even ones that are assigned, but when I try and close out a ton at a time, I keep getting this popup saying that the conversation is assigned to someone else, am I sure I want to close it out.I’m 100% sure that I need to close all these out every day, is there some kind of “don’t remind me”, “don’t bug me”, “don’t ask again”

Is there a way to bulk archive Shared with me emails?

Hey Fronteers!When we’re mentioned on Instagram, is there a way to click on the mention from Front and get redirected to Instagram rather than going to Instagram to view the story?Thanks.

I currently have a rule to move certain messages with the same subject into a new conversation, in the same inbox.This is a specific type of transactional message that’s received when customer’s complete a form. We don’t have control over the subject line, which is always the same, so they stack up in a single thread otherwise.The rule is successfully splitting up these messages. However, tagging does not seem to work.The first message of the day for this type does get tagged per what I have setup in the rule, but subsequent messages do not.I’m not sure if there’s a specific order of operations that should happen, if a separate rule can catch these “Move message to new conversation” actions, or if this is a limitation of the rule action itself.Curious to know if anyone else has run into this or if there’s a solution.

I’m trying to send a WhatsApp mesaage to around 200 contacts but I get this error “This channel is limited to 5 recipients per message”How can I change this limit? 

Currently Front is asking users who need to log email to salesforce to send the email and then seek out the sent item and log it manually as a second step.  This is not productive and difficult to get user buy in for.When will Front have a send & log feature to automate the look up to the contact and opportunity record to have a single step to log the email activity?Right now Front is sending all sent email at the account level which is creating noise and reporting difficulty and none of that mail is related to the opportunity record.

I am looking for Audit logs for users added recently on Front. Is there any specific place i can go to extract this information.

Hi, I have a rule setup that says when an individual gets an email it should be moved to a shared inbox. I want to set the rule that says not to move calendar invites sent to the individual. I have tried a rule to say if the header contains Exchange-Calendar then to notify the inbox owner and stop processing any other rules. I had this set up as rule number 1 but it still went to rule number 2 and sent to the shared mailbox.  I am probably looking at the wrong header section but is there a better or correct way to set a rule against a calendar invite?

Hi Everyone!We have been using Front in conjunction with Twilio and Courier to send WhatsApp messages to our users. Using all three platforms is a long and tedious process. We use Twilio to approve WhatsApp marketing templates and add buttons, then we copy that template to a Courier template and add our list of users we want to send the WhatsApp message to and then send the template to the users on Courier and then we respond to user replies on Front. My question is can we do all of this just on Front? If so please let me know how or how to simplify this process.  

When I’m viewing Message Templates, I’d like to be able to see the Date Last Modified. Right now, the view only shows “Date created.”  There’s plenty of screen real estate to do so.  

I have setup a simple chatbot that collects a device brand, and the repair that is needed for the device. Ideally after collecting these two pieces of information, the chatbot would use the connected Knowledge Base to find the article with pricing and provide the repair price back. Right now, the chatbot asks the question “How can I assist you with the *device model*? Is it possible to skip this question either through a setting or by providing more information prior to the AI Answers module? For further clarification, I’ve attached a screenshot below.

Hi, I have a calander linked to my email address that I am able to share with my teammates. It appears as avi@zervtek.com, but I also have a couple of additional calanders that my teammates cannot add because it does not show up in the “Find People” search bar.  If that’s not possible, is there a way to have a shared calander that we can all access and add/subtract items from?Thanks in advance!
