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.

Hello everyone in the Front Community! I'm thrilled to share that I've completed the Front Certified Admin training courses and am eager to leverage Front's capabilities to enhance our customer communication, agent user experience, and detailed analytics reporting. Our company, a large entity with multiple communication platforms, aims to improve the onboarding process for our teams gradually. I'm curious to learn about the strategies you've found successful in transitioning your teams to Front. Thanks for any advice you can give!

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.Is there a way to remove the unused, standard, fields when viewing contacts in Shared Contacts? For example, a clients X handle is not something we need to track and it pushes the Shared Contacts custom fields we do want to track lower or off scree entirely.Maybe being able to sort the order of all of the fields would work as well. Where we just move the fields we are not using to the end.Thank you!

I just finished setting up our front platform and hopefully it is set for launch date! Any advice on what’s the best CRM tool available as a plugin for us to use? 

I am not receiving any email notifications on my Mac, using the Front 3.57.5 app. I have enabled all notifications in the app. I have enabled banner notifications on my Mac.

My company utilizes teams for internal communications for items that may not need a full request or ticket started.  Are there plans on the Front Roadmap to allow communications with Teams channels? We’re exploring some custom projects to unify our communication channels and need to determine if it is worth the lift. 

Hello, I may have missed this point during the Academy training, but when you Archive emails using Front, does that also sync those actions with the connected channel inbox?  Or is archiving specific to the Front platform and does not affect the channel email inbox? Hopefully this makes sense, thank you for any insight!

Hi Front Community!I have just moved my teams into Front over two weeks ago, everything is going smoothly but I would like them to use more the Discussions tools in Front to communicate between them, instead of Teams.The challenge I have is that we are collaborating with many teams in our business not using Fromt and using Teams, so it is difficult for my teams to understand why they should use the Discussions channels. How do you compete with MS Teams for your teams to use Front? And what tools we could be using to attract them into Front Discussions?Thanks

I’m looking for advice and best practices on setting up inboxes in Front for an operations team that manages accounts and workflows. Our goal is to organize inboxes in a way that helps the team efficiently handle account-specific communications while maintaining clear visibility and collaboration. Specifically, we need guidance on structuring shared inboxes, using automation or rules to route messages to the right team members, and managing workflows between team members as tasks or requests evolve. If anyone has experience with setting up Front for this type of operational use case, I’d love to hear how you’ve approached it and what’s worked well for your team!

Hello 👋🏻As someone new to Front I would love to hear any thing that you found difficult during the implementation time period that you wish you had more resources on? Thanks@

HelloEvery once in a while we have an old email show up in our personal inbox. When I review the conversation details, I can see the conversation shows “Reopened in office 365 Inbox.” This is odd, because for the person that this happened to most recently has not opened outlook at all. We connect Front through Office 365. So, we are trying to understand what “Reopened in office 365 inbox” means so we can prevent it from happening again.Thanks  

So we integrated Front chatbot to our website and we want to be able to do the following things:export conversations we received from this inbox per week identify topics that is most talked about, better to have this highlighted in a report What would be the best work around to make this happen.

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.
