Hello, I hope you're doing wellI've just read all the details about the reporting part in Front and would like your help.What I noticed is that Front calculates the number of messages. My question is: does “message” in Front only mean an email, or does it encompass something else?To give you some context, we're a company and my job is to create custom reports for the business. I want these reports to give me more visibility into the team's activity. My goal is to be able to generate a report that gives a clearer picture of the team's day-to-day activity. For example, how many mails have been received and processed, the period during which the number of mails has increased or decreased, how many mails have not yet been processed, and any other details enabling me to assess the team's productivity during the day.Can you tell me how to go about creating this type of customized report?Thanks.
Hello - Is there a way as a Company admin to reset a user's Front password?
Hi, is it possible to dynamically change the SLA for a conversation based on the sentiment of the messages?
Hi, can’t the filters I set when i look for a specific rule in a large set remain active if I open one and then go back? Otherwise I always have to insert them again.
Hi guys! Some of our rules have stopped working. Any idea why this might be, and how to restore their functionality?
Is it possible to create a rule based on a domain only? We receive emails from Facilities which have numerous staff emails that are all based on a single domain. We would like to create a rule based on one domain for a facility and not a rule for every staff email from it.

Hi! We recently switched to Front and used to use the function in Microsoft Outlook a lot, where you can see other peoples shared calenders. Super handy of course. I couldn’t find this in Front however - is it possible to see your and your teammate’s calender next to each other to find a time slot?

I have created a chatbot conversation flow using the "Branch by Visitor Data" blocks. However, the conditions "If Name exists" and "If Email exists" always evaluate as true, even when I initiate a conversation from an incognito window and no name and email are passed during the chat initialization. Additionally, in some cases, customer names are prefilled with a UUID string.This chat is running on top a Shopify store and no matter if a customer is logged in or not, the message in green is aways presented.How can I avoid that issue?
Is it possible to take out the trash? There seems to be no way to delete the emails in the trash bin or clean it up.Thanks,Harry

Hi, How can bot help in Front? Thank you,Sharifah
How (if possible at all) can I get a report for Conversations (live chat) by visitor source URL?
Dear Front Community, When I export the contact list from the “Customer satisfaction” tab on a desired period of time, the contact column displays a mix between names and email addresses. This is hard to filter and generate graphs.Do you know if there is a way to dislay ONLY email address in the contact column? Thank you very much for your help.Cheers,Ben
When an email in Front is moved to a different inbox and that new inbox replies to the original inbox it was moved from, that email does not make it to that original inbox. Instead, a copy of it comes back to the second inbox it was moved to. Other than forwarding as new conversation, is there a workaround?
Updates to Electron 32.2.3
Hello everyone! Currently we have 1 main shared inbox, with rules that split the different emails between two teams. The main team is hourly and is consistently completing emails while in available status. Our second team is salary and takes care of specific types of emails and ones escalated by the first team. Each email that needs to be escalated (to the second team) goes to a specific “primary” person that is designated for that department’s emails. However we have noticed that when the primary person is out, it sits in their inbox, which causes a delay in response. We want to build an automation that will automatically reassign the email to a secondary person after a set amount of time. Is there a good way to do this with automations/macro buttons. Or should I set up a new inbox just for them? Will an SLA automation work when we already have one set up for the inbox? Sorry for such a long question. I appreciate the help!
Hi,Since my Front role shifted to Company Admin, I am not able to save a View in Analytics.I add a new View, and choose my filters, and click save View.Once I type in all the necessary information, the pop-up closes, and the View is not saved.If I want to go back to the Default view, it asks me if I want to save or discard changes.Log out and log in did not work.Does anybody have an idea, please?
Hi,Is there a way to save a View in Analytics and also have the date span fixed to this view?I would like to create Analytics views for quarter, monthly, weekly, and rolling 7 days, but I have not found any option to fix the date period.Thank you.
Hi Front Community! As someone who is new to using Front, I have seen that one of the primary benefits of using Front is that people have the option to link many different platforms that are used for customer service applications. As a result, is there any benefit for linking my personal inbox to Front. I do apologize if this is a stupid question, but am just looking to get some clarification on this topic.
Hello! Just wondering if you are able to translate emails sent in another language with any feature already in Front and better yet if you are able to reply back and have it translate to whichever language the message was sent in?
