Front users

Hi,We work with custom views to divide inboxes because we don't have teammates for individual topics, but we have different teams for different areas. We sort these views using tags and corresponding rules. If we remove such a TAG, the conversation will, of course, immediately disappear from the view. It is then relatively difficult to find them again, e.g. to archive, reply or set another TAG.Do you have any suggestions for solutions to this? BestNina

Hi, I’m receiving a error saying “Draft Failure Mail Server rejected a command”. Can you help me please? 

Hi there, I’m wanting to setup a workflow where our @sales team requests our @production team for a piece of information (e.g. lead time to get an order out) but I want the conversation to stay in the @sales inbox.Is there a good way to do this? Using tags and views for the @production team members? Thanks,Tom

Hello, i would like to ask if it’s possible to import the users’ emails to Front. Thank you in advance. 

Once reply is sent is there anyway to remove? or edit?

When you add an item to your email calendar will it automatically be added to your teams’ calendar and be able to be viewed just like in your email? 

Hi everyone!I’m just playing around with Front, as it has most of the features I am looking for.However, I am quite puzzled about why there is no way to import history from custom SMTP -adresses.I understand that it might be difficult to support this against all the different service providers out there. But shouldn’t it at least be possible to import a PST -file from Outlook?Does anyone know if they plan to add it? Or any other smart way of importing a file like this?Thanks in advance!

Finding Front VersionMany of us, who are long-time Microsoft users, are used to using the:Help > About’ or‘File > Account > About _____’option to find the Version number of the Microsoft product they are using.  How does a user accomplish this in Front?What’s NewAnother common convention used by other software is when an updated version is installed, upon relaunch, a ‘What’s New’ summary or link to same is provided.  Am I missing something?

Hi Sales Leaders,  Front has been an incredibly powerful tool for me and I’m such an advocate for all of it’s features. I’ve made tremendous strides with support teams, customer success teams, and internally but I’ve failed to find tangible ways that it’s impacted my sales teams. What ways have you used Front to help your sales team drive revenue, or optimize their processes?  I’m finding this specifically difficult for my BD reps that are a bit more individualized and not a standard SDR or AE. Thanks,Ryan 

I've received a lot of marketing emails that appear in my inbox as being from a specific person, but come from a general email address (e.g. hello@). I wonder if this can be replicated on Front - e.g. the sender will appear in recipients inboxes as a ‘Joe Bloggs’ but the email itself will be sent directly from a general email address.

IP RestrictionsThey use IP restrictions to prevent unauthorized users from accessing their emails. The office IP address is included in the allowed list.However, this option doesn't work for the mobile app because the phone's IP address isn't static. Is there a solution for this?A potential fix could be allowing access based on the MAC address.

Hello Front Community! I would like to make the most out of the Front knowledge base feature; however, I do not wish to recreate exisiting documentation. Currently, we have a knowledge base in Service Now, but it would be fantastic if we could bring that same information (If not simply make it accessible to search from from) into the Front knowledge base as a resource for our techs when assisting end users. My other concern is whether or not I have the ability to restrict the knowledge base view to ONLY our IT team. What would be the best avenue to accomplish these asks?

Is there a way to have the Time off auto-responder not mark emails as “read” when responding? And further, is there a way to have it not respond to automated emails? 

Hello!I am currently trying to build a Dynamic Object that returns a URL format where the first two numbers after the static portion of the URL represent the numerical value of the letter + 1.For instance,  our order numbers are in the format of AV123456. I have this set to work as a dynamic object and it returns the correct URL. It is currently set as:Target String: A,Letters (exactly 1), Digits (Exactly 6)Target URL: ************************************next/21Digits(Exactly 6) It works beautifully. However, there are previous orders and future orders where the second letter is not V, and for this reason, 21 will not remain permanently static.​21****** represents the value of V(20) + 1 and the * represent the remaining numerical digits of the order number.Is there a way to build o

My personal email account is an O365 account, and my main calendar is added to Front. However, I would like to access a secondary calendar as well, that is created in Outlook under “My calendars”. Is there a way to add this to Front?I have read this article about getting access to a shared calendar, but this is my own personal, secondary calendar, not one that has been shared by someone else. 

Has anyone seen any information that may give a time frame when AI responses will be available for other channels/inboxes other than email?   I know you can use templated responses and chatbot responses for web chat, but would be interested to see how an AI generated response to an SMS or Instagram message for example.  

Hey Community,  Over the last few months we have been continuing to experiment with rules to attempt an equal distribution across our SMB CSM Team. With the exception to them being in multiple time zones, each of these CSMs should have equal distribution of emails daily over the full 24 hours in a day. What we have found consistently week or week is that 1-2 of our CSM’s typically has 2-3x the # of assignments as others. After many alterations and chatting with support we have determined that the primary reason for the outlier here is that a few CSM are exceptionally good at their job and move quicker than others. Because this particular CSM is very quick to answer emails, he/she has more capacity for the “assigned to me” queue to continue giving more and more work. On the other side of the house, the slower CSM queues are full so they are not getting additional work throughout the day.  Obviously I don’t want to “slow down” an

Working on updating my companies Front account and settings as we transition to using Front Chat as well, and I noticed that I do not have the option for setting business hours as listed in the knowledge base.  I am a company and workspace admin, however the setting is just not there when I go into analytics or inbox settings.Can someone point me in a direction I may be missing? Or is this a system issue of some kind.Thanks!
