Front users

Hey everyone,I’m new to Front and really excited to explore everything it can do - both internally and externally. There’s clearly a lot of potential, and so I’m curious:What’s helped your team build consistent habits with tags, rules, or shared inboxes?I’d love to hear any best practices or little things that have made a difference in adoption or team workflows.

Does anyone know how to make it so that the CC address line is always available and I don’t have to click CC to open the line?

I’m having an issue integrating front with individual users who receive direct communication from clients on new requests and ensuring these requests are handled within our dedicated SLA times. The team dedicated to handling new incoming orders (Client Service) should be the primary team that receives all new requests, while the other handles updates on existing order (Client Experience). The issue that we’re facing is that the client services team has one inbox that handles all incoming orders, while the client experience team each use their own unique inbox to respond to client concerns or requests for updates. I’d like to utilize Front to mirror this set up within our client experience team, but still allow transparency when clients are reaching out to ensure SLA’s aren’t breached our missed by each Client experience rep.  In addition, there are times that clients will email new orders to the client experience rep and exclude the client services team what would be best method to ens

How does Front work with Microsoft DLP, aka Purview?  For compliancy, outbound messages need to be scanned for sensitive information, leakage, and security.  Also, things like labels for content, etc.

As a new Front user, I have just recently begun to experiment with the "Invite guests to conversations or internal discussions" feature. This feature allows you to bring external collaborators—such as clients, vendors, or contractors—into specific email threads or internal discussions without granting them full access to your inbox or workspace.Benefits I’ve noticed: Improved collaboration: Instead of forwarding long email chains or creating new threads, you can bring a guest directly into an existing conversation. This helps reduce confusion and ensures everyone is aligned. Streamlined communication: It keeps all related messages and participants in one place, cutting down on scattered emails and improving response times. Controlled access: Guests only see the conversations they’re explicitly invited to, which helps maintain security while still enabling collaboration. Challenges as a new user: Understanding permissions: Initially, it wasn’t entirely clear how much visibility a gu

What has been the single BEST tool you have used in Front?

Our organization is using ClickUp to manage work by creating a ticket for each task. In the case that we are using Front as the primary communication tool with clients, how do we ensure seamless transition between ClickUp tasks updates and collaboration comments in Front?

Anyone know where I can find a Front Consultant?  Front was already in place when I started here about two years ago and has been problematic since day one.  Our Front setup is a hot mess and generates way too many helpdesk tickets for all kinds of different reasons.  I really need someone that can look at our setup, analyze it, suggest and make changes.  I’m an IT Manager but I don’t have the bandwidth to revamp our whole Front setup.  A Google search turned up nothing and Front doesn’t seem to offer such a service that I can tell.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

New to Front and wondering if anyone has SLA tips and tricks for a team that covers all time zones in the US?

Hallo Front-Community,wir erleben in unserem E-Commerce-Geschäft regelmäßig saisonale Spitzen, die zu einem massiven Anstieg an Kundenanfragen führen. Aktuell haben wir damit zu kämpfen, die Reaktionszeiten aufrechtzuerhalten, ohne die Qualität unserer Antworten zu beeinträchtigen.Wir nutzen Front, um alle unsere Kommunikationskanäle (E-Mail, Chat, Social Media) zu zentralisieren, was bereits hilfreich ist. Allerdings suchen wir nach spezifischen Workflows oder Automatisierungen, um diese Spitzen effizienter zu bewältigen.Hat jemand Erfahrungen mit ähnlichen Herausforderungen gemacht? Insbesondere interessieren wir uns für: * Regeln zur automatischen Priorisierung von Anfragen basierend auf Keywords oder Dringlichkeit. * Vorlagen oder Snippets zur schnellen Beantwortung häufig gestellter Fragen während der Spitzenzeiten. * Integrationen mit anderen Tools (z.B. Lagerverwaltungssysteme), um Echtzeitinformationen in unsere Antworten einzubeziehen. * Wie man die Team-Zusammenarbeit verbess

Will it be possible to integrate our Telus phone application into Front ?

Hello, Are there limits to the two levels of Admin types? What I mean is how many workspace Admins and how many Company Admins are permitted in a given plan?

I often review multiple schedules, identify shared openings, and provide clients with options.Is there a scheduling assistant or AI integration that can automate this? Ideally, I’d love to select team members and get a summarized availability report to copy/paste into emails—or even have AI pull this from Front calendars.Any suggestions?

Hello,I like to think that I am pretty well versed in Front. But I was trying to create a message template for an email that I have to send out weekly/biweekly/etc and noticed that it has a subject option but does not allow you the option to preselect whom it goes to?I am kind of big into saving time. 😊Sometimes I send these emails to the same group of people and thought that if that wasn’t something that exists for message templates maybe it could be added?Thanks,Brandy Ferguson, CFEAn Veritas Accounting

I created 2 inboxes managed by 2 different teams. We are merging the teams, what is the best way to consolidate the inboxes moving forward while keeping the history separate?

Hey folks,  I used the tool of shifts in Front for my team, and I wanted to share with all of you that this has been a great way to know who is working at which time and to define the worktime for the team so everyone who is available or outline can be responsible for the correct tasks. How to make this? Defining their shifts is essential because that will help us determine the correct OOO times for the team. I love it! I can see the fluency of the team's work in the analytics session.

Hey team, I have learned about Front and the great tools we as a company have to make decisions most effortlessly as a team. What tips do you have to start using Front for a company? We already used Front and the essential tools, but not everything is organized correctly. So, what are the first steps you took to make Front the best thing for your company?  Thank you! 

I’m doing a name/email address change for one of my Microsoft 365 users.  They have a user mailbox in Exchange, but a shared mailbox in Front.  Should I… One, do the name/email address change in Microsoft 365 and hope everything syncs over to Front and hope for the best? Two, should I delete the Teammate, Inbox, Channel, and Rules associated with that user and start from scratch? Or three, is there something else I should be doing? Thanks!

One of many things I use Front for is to view my team members’ calendars to see when all parties are available to meet.  I am constantly scheduling in my line of work (consulting)… so I have to look at 3-4 peoples schedules within 1-2 weeks, find openings that we have in common, take note of those openings, then provide the client will all possible options.  Is there any scheduling assistant tool or integration that can help with this? To me this would be an amazing AI feature… not sure if that already exists as well.  I would love to select team members and get a “summary” of all of our availability so I can copy/paste that in an email to a client. Or even prompt AI to get this information for me using the Front calendars.  Does anybody have answers or ideas?  

Hi everyone!I have tags saved in sidebar for quick access to the list of emails per tags. However, i noticed that archived emails with tags are not showing up on those sidebar list. Is there a way to include Archived emails (with tags) in the sidebar?when i search for the tag in the search box [TAG: XXXX] it would show all the tags despite of being in Archived. Essentially i am wondering if the sidebar tags can work the same way.
