Get started on Front

For an operations and logistics based company - which analytical feature do you think best suit the needs to meet expectations of customers.

Hello, everyone. Another email post from me. We are starting to introduce Front to our company. We have a wide variety of users. Some have preferred Outlook, while others have preferred Gmail. Any tips on how to convert them into Front when it’s this diverse? As usual most people don’t like change, but I know Front could be more beneficial for them to use, but just curious to see what has worked, or challenges others have faced when releasing Front within a company. 

Hello, I am still pretty fresh to Front, and have reviewed some conversations on shortcuts, plus the training. Something that would be nice (unless I completely missed it), would be custom tag shortcuts (similar to Outlook). Our users are used to Outlook and most of them have shortcuts to send emails to specific folders. It would be nice if we could customize shortcuts for that. When on an email instead of using Ctrl + E to archive if I could customize a shortcut “Ctrl + 1” to tag and archive an email. 

Hello, is there any way to create a new view, which i can use for watching issues that are both of assigned and archived? Thank you in advance.

Hello, i would like to ask if it’s possible to import the users’ emails to Front. Thank you in advance. 

Once reply is sent is there anyway to remove? or edit?

When you add an item to your email calendar will it automatically be added to your teams’ calendar and be able to be viewed just like in your email? 

Hi everyone!I’m just playing around with Front, as it has most of the features I am looking for.However, I am quite puzzled about why there is no way to import history from custom SMTP -adresses.I understand that it might be difficult to support this against all the different service providers out there. But shouldn’t it at least be possible to import a PST -file from Outlook?Does anyone know if they plan to add it? Or any other smart way of importing a file like this?Thanks in advance!

Finding Front VersionMany of us, who are long-time Microsoft users, are used to using the:Help > About’ or‘File > Account > About _____’option to find the Version number of the Microsoft product they are using.  How does a user accomplish this in Front?What’s NewAnother common convention used by other software is when an updated version is installed, upon relaunch, a ‘What’s New’ summary or link to same is provided.  Am I missing something?

I've received a lot of marketing emails that appear in my inbox as being from a specific person, but come from a general email address (e.g. hello@). I wonder if this can be replicated on Front - e.g. the sender will appear in recipients inboxes as a ‘Joe Bloggs’ but the email itself will be sent directly from a general email address.

We’re looking to use signature templates with custom variables, but can’t find a syntax to add a constant string only when a variable is populated. Front’s variable syntax resembles Twig, but it doesn’t seem to be compatible. If a title exists, we want:{{user.name}}, {{user.custom.title}}If no title exists, we want:{{user.name}}Not:{{user.name}},  Same thing for phone numbers. Bonus points if you can tell me syntax to conditionally include a carriage return. This sample {{recipient.first_name | 'there'}} from the article gives me hope that it’s possible, but we need the opposite (text if exists) or to be able to inject a variable between strings. This is what I really want to do:{{user.custom.direct} ? ‘Direct ’ + {user.custom.direct} : ‘ | ’}Main 555-555-5555

It’s come up a several times that delegated inboxes for former employees (inactive accounts) still show as delegated for their teammates. Aside from removing them from view in sidebar, is there a way to access and un-delegate as an admin?

We have found in the past that the PC App can be a bit buggy or have issues with updating in our highly restrictve enviroment due to lack of user permissions.Can someone clafify the use case for PC app over the WebApp as the WebApp does everythign I can see.Cheers, 

Hi all,I’d like to upload a list of contacts into Front — am wondering if a new Account will be created if the CSV file has a column for account?Thanks so much,Cathryn

I’m new to Front and have a bunch of contacts. How do I get them into Front?

We are using hubspot for most of our current automation and processes. Can I use a automation rule to generate a task in Hubspot when XYZ conditions or do I need to create an API for that? 

I know that it is fairly easy to setup automation and have an automatic reply using a template but is it possible to trigger an action that would generate an IA answer and have it saved as draft for a teammate review before sending? 

Is it possible to have multiple users/devices use one login credentials? For instance, I have a group of 10 analysts and I wanted them to use one login credentials for uniformity and it will only show as a group email to my clients. Hope you can provide me with answers on this.

I’m trying to get a better understanding on what the limits are for each of the plans. I’m on the starter plan and will be moving to growth in the next few months.  Where can I find what the limits are for rules, connections, etc.   

Good afternoon, We are VERY green to Front… Initially, I was under the impression, we would be able to set x3 team members - so that we can each log in to access the same 1 email inbox. We do not have different email addresses - as we currently only log on via web access to gmail. moving forward, Would love it so that we can chat between us remotely - but each time I try to set up a team mate, it asks for an email address… and naturally - we only have the 1 for all 3 of us?? My head is boggled!! please help… cheers

How can I change my email address?

Can I recall / undo / unsend an email that I’ve hit send on? 

I want my teammate to send from my personal email address. Is this possible in Front?

How do I manage my billing and plan?

I’m getting too many notifications. I only want it for a few inboxes but I get them for almost everything that happens in Front.
