Hey community, Cori here from Front!As a manager of a customer support team, I wanted to share about a feature Iβve been using heavily that might be helpful for you as well: Smart QA has become a valuable assistant to help me spot support quality opportunities quickly and better coach in 1:1s with my team members. The best part β it happens automatically and doesnβt add any additional manual review time for me.Β Hereβs a walkthrough of how I use it:Β As you can see, Smart QA helps me accomplish a few key goals:Close the loop quickly: Turn QA findings into targeted coaching notes and actionable follow-ups. Catch what matters, not just whatβs βmeasurableβ: Smart QA flags responses that miss answering key questions or drift on tone, so I coach to substance, not just speed. Consistent coaching at scale: Apply the same rubric across the team to reduce reviewer bias and keep feedback aligned. Save time and resources: No need to implement a new tool for QA, as this feature is built into Front w

Hello everyone,Β I am facing a problem with Front, when ever I assign an email that is left unassigned or change the assignee name then front automatically archiving the email.Not really sure if I changed something lately in the settings or this is as part of new updates in front.This is very frustrating after assigning the email to someone, I also have to click Unarchive in my email in order to bring the email back to my shared section.Β I appreciate if you can share any work around or some sort of setting which could solve the issue
Anyone else have front erase all the ccβs on any draft email left open over night? Iβm assuming they all get erased when the computer goes into rest mode but it doesnβt happen to a co-worker.Β
We have enabled smart QA for our customer service team, but we noticed that some internal emails are affecting the scores and we can`t get a real picture of what is going on (i.e. when you forward and email without writing any messages it drives you empathy score down - this is part of our order entry process so there`s no need to write anything). How can we get Front not to take these emails into consideration?
Using the Front webapp (as a PWA) on Windows, how can I disable notifications about calendar events? We use Google Calendar, so I rely on Google Calendar for notifications and Front creates duplicate notifications. On Settings > Notifications, I've set Desktop and Mobile to "No notificationsβ, but I am still receiving Desktop and Mobile calendar notifications. See screenshot below.Β Β Β
I have a user who was having email issues during the AWS outage yesterday.Now her email is working, but her Sent items folder is only showing the past 2 days. We can search and find older emails in the Sent folder so we know they are there, but we cannot scroll back past yesterday morning.We did try turing off sent item tracking and turning ir back on to see if the sent folder would resync, but that does not appear to have made any difference.Β Are there any other things I can try? The are connected to O365Β ThanksThomas
We are newer to Front, but for anyone managing ongoing conversations, donβt forget about the βWaitingβ status,Β itβs a great tool for keeping your inbox organized and transparent.When youβre waiting on a clientβs reply or an internal follow-up, switching the thread to βWaitingβ helps signal that action is pending elsewhere without losing visibility. It also keeps response metrics clean and prevents things from falling through the cracks,Β especially importantΒ whenΒ turnaround time matters!Β This has been a game changer for our team!
On Windows, when I print a PDF from Front using Microsoft Print as PDF, the resulting PDF has embedded images, not text. In other words, I canβt select or copy text in the PDF using Adobe Reader or any other PDF viewer. Is there a way to print a PDF that would enable me to copy text from the PDF?Β
Hi, is it possible to have Claude read all of Frontβs transcripts and extract insights? Grain (our call recording software) has an MCP integrationΒ https://grain.com/release-note/06-18-2025Β that is wildly helpful for marketing teams to understand patterns.Β Β One use case is, βWhat are people reaching out most about in the last 30 days in Front. Extract exact quotes and replies that our team said. Then group by themesβ. Weβll then set up webinars for these topics.Β Thereβs just so much raw data in Front that itβs hard to make sense of it manually for marketers, so an integration would really help!Β
Hi Iβve been struggling to have our contact list up to date and it would really help me to have the ability to mass delete auto-createdΒ contacts. Perhaps you can integrate this feature or at least allow front support to have an internal way to achieve this.

Hi, I am new to front and wanted to learn from others that have a small group of 2-5 sales reps and how they are currently using front and what type of automations are helpful to ensure a smooth customer experience while ensuring the app is being used proficiently?
Hello, Iβd like to raise another problem I encounter regularly after the new interface and see if other users also struggle with this.Β I have several teams using Front and swap between them in the Settings pane.Β I am used to design where the selection pane/sidebar on the left inΒ off-white shows my selections.How come the workspace is only a small letter βIβ icon? Then I have to look over into the white configuration pane to confirm I am looking at the βIT Opsβ workspace which takes me away from locating my setting, next my eyes go back to the left selection pane to click on Rules (which are also too far down for a commonly-edited settings page).When I swap over to the next workspace, it shows a green letter βIβ. Why are they just βIβs and canβt be the full workspace name in the off-white sidebar? Itβs unnecessaryΒ that I cannot see the workspace selection on the left and am given only different colors of βIβ.Β Green I for IRPurple I for ITΒ

I have customers who are filing tickets through our portal, and when they file via our help center, they are being prompted to verify their email address. They will confirm their email by clicking the button below, but will be prompted again when they submit another ticket.Β The customer will verify their email above, directing them to their requests.Need guidance on why this is happening and any solutions to allow customers to only verify their email once. Thank you.
I have one primary inbox with a channel setup of incoming email.Β I route based on rules to a series of other Inboxes based on clientβs domain from their email address.Β All of the forwarded-to Inboxes work as expected except for one.Β One of them, and the moved messages that land in it, does not allow me to forward or reply to the message.Β The button is missing and there are no options to do so. Also, when I choose resend or forward as a new conversation, I donβt get the normal email message popup.Β Β Β It feels like a rights config issue, but Iβm the admin on teh account, so Iβm not srue whatβs missing.Β Thanks in advance!
I have been using front for about a week, andΒ initially had no topics. Then onΒ Sept 30th, four topics were created. No new topics were created since then.My questions on topics are:Will they automatically appear or does it take 30 days (as per your docs) for Front to evaluate new topics? If it does take 30 days since the last discovery, is there a way to βtriggerβ new topic discovery? If a flood of new emails come in about a new topic, such as a live site issue, will Front be able to create a new topic on the fly as needed without having to wait 30 days?Thanks in advance for your clarifications!

At the moment, at the new interface version all inboxes on the sidebar are merged together. There is no clear distinction, so it seems that all inboxes merge together. It would be great if certain boundaries were marked. Is separation planned?Β
What setting can we use to stop this from happening? Β What is the use case for which it is _useful_ to unassigned a conversation just because of a change in inbox?
