Hi,Can admins remove participants from a conversation? It appears that each user can only unsubscribe themselves.

Hey! Been using Front for a bit of time now, but have been struggling with the calendar not having any to-do list add-ons. Todoist does not offer the functionality we need in that you can’t see your upcoming tasks, and snoozing emails is not exactly the same. Currently still referring to google calendar for this. Any suggestions on how others may have integrated it all in Front would be welcomed! 

Auto replies are a big selling point that our teams would like to take advantage of, but we typically run into issues since using a distribution list is not compatible with the feature per testing and the setup guide. Has anyone found a good workaround, or an easy way to automate replies when there’s a distribution list in the recipients field?

In the section where you want to enable other languages we still have to do all translations.  There should then be an option to add Another language which you then give a name.  Then the other features to translate all entries etc should be the same as for “supported” languages.

I am new to the Front Community, but my employer has been using Front for approximately 4 years now.I am in the process of completing the FCA exam and needed to add a post. 

HiOur team of 5 receive email requests into the shared inbox from a defined pool of around 50 service users. Sometimes it might be two or three months between an email from the same person.Currently, we’re finding that a new email request will often attach to an old thread from that same service user, even if that thread was previously archived (sometimes months, even years ago!) The new email will also be assigned to the same person who dealt with the original thread.Similarly, if the same service user sends over multiple requests in a short period, they all end up attaching to each other and being assigned to the person who dealt with the original request.This can make it harder to spot the new requests, as it looks they are already assigned and being dealt with by another team member.I suppose what I’m asking is, is there an easy way to prevent new emails attaching to old archived threads? Thanks for any ideas!GarethPS We ar

New to Front, but so far very useful they really thought of everything! Combining all my favorite features from other platforms in one domain, game changer. Can’t wait to keep exploring! 

For an operations and logistics based company - which analytical feature do you think best suit the needs to meet expectations of customers.

I use Front on my phone quite often and one feature that’s really missing is the following. When you have Send & Snooze enabled, there is no way to Send & Archive a message on the phone in an open thread.  On desktop, you can just press CTRL + Enter. There should be an option for mobile as well.

Hello!I’m very curious on how as a remote team we could potentially manage a SLA across team members across different time zones? I really think that SLAs would really benefit our account managers, but unsure how we could implement the standard across our team with us being so spread out.Thanks!

We’ve recently moved our shared outlook inboxes to Front, but we still have some emails that need to be sent directly via outlook. This is caused one large issue: Every time an email is sent via outlook, that email shows up as a new ticket in our shared Front email box.Is there anything that can be done to prevent this - somehow either not sync emails sent via outlook or automatically move those emails to the Front Archive folder?thanks!!

Hello - we have a strict need to know policy at my company. We’d like to take advantage of the Accounts section but we would like it to be on a user/admin level only. Is this possible?

Hello! We currently have 4 account managers spread over 100+ clients. I’m curious what you may suggest as to how we can route these to the appropriate account manager? Currently the AMs monitor one singular inbox and assign the messages as appropriate, but I think if we may trigger them to automatically send to the AMs, it will help reduce our main inbox.Thoughts?

We have teams from all over the world working but we want to keep responses to those individual time zones separate based on the team. How can we set up different working hours per team?

Question for the community. Has anyone had someone they have setup Front for, and they simply do not get how it works? Totally stuck within the Outlook realm no matter how many training sessions, and guidance you have given? Keen to understand how others have overcome this. 

These integrations are great but could someone explain why the same phone number cannot be used for both SMS and Whatsapp through Twilio?

Hi,We have set up two rules for automatic receipt confirmations. These worked without any problems until yesterday. Now the message no longer goes out via email, but it still works on WhatsApp. When I look at the time of the last rule application, both show December 14th. 17:**. I can't find any reason why the rule no longer works today. Can you help me there?

Is there a way to hide any of the announcement popups, placeholder graphics, and maybe even all the front jokes? They’re just big, repetitive, and unnecessary for our team. It gets really old. 

All of our teammates (including agents that do not have admin access) have used the team inboxes dropdown menu every week for the past several months (some of us have used that feature even longer than this). We use the analytics feature weekly and everyone reports their own analytics per inbox. Each of our agents have always been able to do this regardless of whether or not they had admin access. However, since last week, they have no longer been able to filter their personal analytics by inbox/channel. Has this happened to anyone else?

I work for a tourism company where guests book trips with us. We use Front as a way to manage customer questions. Does anyone have any suggestions on ways to link those conversations directly to the guests's bookings? I’ m also wondering if anyone else in the same industry has any additional suggestions for automations using dynamic objects?
