Inbox settings

We are looking for ways to organize both our personal inboxes and shared inboxes. We would like to be able to see unread messages first/at the top of the inbox. We also would like for shared inboxes to have send settings. We do not want emails to archive when we reply to them.

How to build reliable sidebar applications

I am having trouble finding any documentation about what can be embedded/displayed in a sidebar app. I have built simple github hosted sites but find that the front sidebar is not responsive, so I have to actually hardcode the screen dimensions. Are there any documents or parameters people have found for these custom sidebar plugins?

Developer Q&A

Add custom message to a conversation

I am using the custom channels API to add receive custom messageshttps://dev.frontapp.com/reference/post_channels-channel-id-incoming-messages How do I add the new custom message to an existing conversation? The metadata.thread_ref seems to be independent from the conversation ids.E.g. I added a custom message and pass“metadata”: { “thread_ref”: “cnv_#####” }doesn’t add the new message to that conversation and instead creates a new conversation. New messages using the same thread_ref goes under the new created conversation. Thanks

Developer Q&A

Merge conversations or move messages to different conversation via API

Hi,I am building a custom channel that handles group mms and I need to either merge conversations or move messages on to a different conversations via API.For example, a user on front app composes a new message, but we already have a conversations id internally for the participants. We want that message to be added to the conversation id that we had instead of creating a new conversation. I am returning the “thread_ref” with the correct id, but it doesn’t seem to move the message to the original conversation or merge them. This is the same behavior for native SMS messages (when sending a new sms message via API, a new conversation is initially added, but than the message moves to the correct conversation). Thanks

Best way to handle customers replying to old threads for new cases

Hello,It seems the default action is for Front to simply place a reply on an old thread back in to Assigned to me box.In the past we have seen a customer reply to an old thread for a new request, and for one reason or another the reopened thread in Assigned to me was missed by that person.It seems like within Edit Rule, there could be a condition if Archived to send it back to unassigned. I have tried a few combinations but nothing clicks.Ideally, if a conversation is Archived, and a reply reopens it, it goes back to the unassigned box.Thanks for any guidance.
