I was thinking of creating shifts for when we have people coming in to work on the weekends they can be temporarily added to the weekend shift. That way others could see who else was working. Is there a better way to handle this? If not, how do you create a shift without having someone assigned to it?
Is there a Teams plugin in available or any plans to integrate it in the future?

Hello Everyone,  Just wanted to check in if anyone has had experience with connecting MS Forms as a channel.We are exploring the possibility of having Form based data coming in from our users, and since MS Forms is part of our M365 suite, wanted to check if it is recommended, if not, we will explore 3rd party forms to connect instead. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Hello! I’m currently trying to configure the AI portion of my chatbot. I have set up an external facing knowledge base for the Chatbot to pull from. I have also editing my flow code to incorporate the AI answer feature after open-ended questions as well. However, every time I go to test the feature within the “Preview Mode” the AI Chatbot never produces any answers to my question. Based on this I had a couple of questions: Does the AI feature only work on the User End? Is there another method of testing the AI Chatbot? I would like to see if my knowledge base needs to be updated before making the feature live to my users.Â

Hi Team, I have somebody who's primarily in a different email that is not part of Front and they want to be notified at that different email when something happens regarding them in Front so that they can log in their Front account and address the notification. What is the best setting approach you recommend?  I am looking forward to your response.

Hi,Our team recently started using Front to help triage incoming emails within a shared inbox. We have a set portfolio of customers, and created rules to automatically assign emails to individuals based on the customer name and the @ domain of the originating email. However, there are some customers and business partners that use the same @ domain in their email address so the rules are assigning to the wrong employee or not assigning at all.Has anyone else run into this issue, or know of any additional rules we could put in place to separate multiple accounts that use the same email address?Â
Hello everyone!   Our team uses front as an internal ticketing system between contact center agents and us. This could be requests from attendance to volunteer time off. We have the CSAT form implemented in the signature of all our replies. But rarely get responses. Any ideas to improve the use of CSAT surveys from our contact center agents?  Thanks!
Hello everyone!   We have been using front for over a year now, and just realized it had a knowledge base function! We have added multiple types of information and are happy with the finished product. But I am interested in the functionality of the “Knowledge” icon on the plugin bar. Once clicked I see that no KB has been published for our company yet. What is the best way to publish our existing KB, so end users can view content while responding to messages. Do I just have the knowledge base published for only our workspace?  I appreciate the help!

Hi! Does anyone have any information on how the auto-tagging works? What is it looking for? We just set Front up and it’s pulling in newsletters under the Sales Response tag.
Would be wonderful if we can track AI usage in the analytics ? We pay for this feature and we have no idea how our colleagues use this new crazy feature. Are you planning this in the roadmap for the coming weeks ? Â
Hi everyone,I'm encountering a problem with how Front handles new email addresses from our clients in conjunction with Salesforce.Here’s our setup:We use Salesforce to store all our contacts. These contacts are then imported into Front as shared contacts.The issue arises when:A new client emails us, or an existing client emails from a new email address.Front auto-creates a new contact for this email address.When we update Salesforce with the new email address, it does not merge with the existing shared contact in Front. Instead, it remains as a separate contact.This results in duplicated contacts and can cause confusion within our team.Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how did you resolve it? Any suggestions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!Thank you!
