Does Front automatically change your availability status from “Available” to “Busy” when you join a meeting that is on your Outlook calendar and synced to Front? Right now, when I join a meeting through my Front calendar my availability doesn’t change automatically, so I still appear available. It feels like this is a feature that should automatically work.

Hello! So our plan is to quickly setup and use Front to handle all customer feedback, organise it and make sure we do not miss anything important. We will have a few mail channels and maybe a couple of other types in time to come. Based on your real world experience what are the most important steps to follow in order to ensure a clean base setup in front?

Hey Front Community! My job consists in a lot of introductions between my clients and our ecosystem. I am therefore trying to add as many variables as possible in my email templates (Name, Company Name, Job title, LinkedIn, etc) that I have populated in my ‘Contacts’ to automate most of that recurring task. So far, I have not been able to use variables such as {{recipient_1.first_name}}, {{recipient_2.first_name}}, etc. and it seems it is not an option. Do we know if front is planning on developing such a feature. Moreover, have some of you found workarounds? Thanks a lot. Pierre

Is there a single place you can look at everything that occurred with a conversation with time stamps and who touched what instead of going to the bottom of the individual conversation
We are implementing Front and all very new to the system. Does anyone have additional information on the Salesforce integration? We currently use the Salesforce plugin as well as Calendly for meetings and want to ensure events and emails flow through correctly to Salesforce. Thanks!
Hi guys, I`ve started exploring the Dialpad integration in Front and was curious to know if anyone could share some best practices and how to best leverage this integration. Thanks in advance!
Hi Front community,we are migrating from Freshdesk to Front and setting up our taxonomy from scratch. We need consistent reporting and automation across multiple teams, so we are trying to choose the right balance between tags and custom fields.Our main use cases are tracking client, request type, priority, and SLA category, while keeping rule maintenance and agent usage simple. In your experience, what should be modeled as a tag versus a custom field in Front when you care about long term analytics quality? Are there common pitfalls you would recommend avoiding early (for example tag sprawl, inconsistent tagging, too many fields, or fields that become obsolete)?Thanks in advance for any guidance.
CX automation is not about “can we automate it?” It’s about making defendable decisions about where automation is safe, where AI should assist while humans stay accountable, and what should remain human-led.Join Kevin Yang (Director of AI at Front) and Alyssa Medina (VP of Customer Support at Fathom) for a practitioner conversation on frameworks, guardrails, and real-world trade-offs — plus live Q&A. 📍Register to save your seat and get the Customer Operations Automation Field Guide after the session.

From what we can tell, there is currently no way to link TikTok messages to Front. A handful of other apps are starting to do this. Curious how the community is dealing with messages from TikTok?
Hi folks 🖐Is there a way to automatically update the internal knowledge base, based on the content of messages? For example, if a customer emails to give blanket authority for specific transactions accross their account, can I automate capturing this into the knowledge bank? Thanks all!🙂
Load balancing as a foundation to distribute conversations based on teammate capacity and then layer AI features like topics and classification on top to route messages by intent and skill, ensuring the right group receives each conversation and within that group the least-loaded available teammate gets it, while teams monitor response and resolution times to fine-tune assignment limits and rules over time.
We’re starting the rollout for Front Desktop version 3.69.1:ChangelogImplemented automatic cache management to prevent excessive disk usage. Fixed an issue where a “not found” message is shown when starting Front on Windows.
I have an email thread going with a customer and two of my team members, I wanted to delete one of the messages in the thread but its greyed out. Says that the admin had disabled this but i am the admin and the company admin. In the security settings there isn’t anything related to disabling this.
Hi there, may I please know how long does it take to fully sync Asana to Front?
Regarding the new ticket system shown during the latest Frontline Presentation, do you have any documentation on this?
Hi,We have a single workplace with two inboxes, each representing a different product. AI is enabled for both inboxes, and we use shared rules and templates.We’ve noticed that AI-generated replies (Copilot, and I assume Autopilot as well) will sometimes reference information from the other product when composing a response, even though the conversation is clearly in a specific inbox. As a result, the replies sometimes need manual editing to correct product-specific details. For example, the AI may compose a response for one inbox that should only apply to another product’s inbox.It appears that AI responses are not factoring in inbox context when generating replies.Is there a way today to scope AI behavior by inbox? If not, is inbox-level AI scoping something on the roadmap?Thanks!
