Product Q&A

Is it possible to add/connect internal conversations about a company to the conversation history in Front?Example:Internal E-Mail conversation about company A should be added below without an actual contact from company A within the conversation.  

Hello, I’m using Front as our ticketing and customer ops tool, and I’m looking for a plugin that can help with spell‑checking and email phrasing. Right now, I have to copy and paste text into another website to check for mistakes or improve wording, because I find Front’s built‑in email draft tool quite poor.Ideally, I want something that will correct errors and suggest better phrasing directly within Front to avoid switching between tools.

Is there a way to schedule send an email on condition the recipient did not reply yet?

We receive automated emails when orders unsuccessfully get added to our database.  This happens often and can over-populate our unassigned/assigned/waiting locations.  Is there a way to create a fake inbox or location where these emails can gather and everyone has access to see them and clear them?

Is it possible to branch your chatbot flow back to an initial multiple choice question rather than rewrite the flows all over again.  We have an initial multiple-choice question, and I’d like the option to return to it if a customer wants to ask another question on a different topic.

I have been asked to extract a list of our most used client domains for cross referencing - I can’t find anything like this in analytics. Any suggestions please ? 

When saving rules or macros with multiple actions, the actions are automatically reordered to a fixed sequence rather than preserving the order I set. This breaks workflows where later actions depend on earlier ones.Steps to Reproduce:Create a new rule with the following actions in this order: Move to inbox "Support Requests" Add tag "VIP Customer" Save the rule Reopen the rule to editExpected Behavior: Actions remain in the order I saved them.Actual Behavior: Actions have been reordered to:Add tag "VIP Customer" Move to inbox "Support Requests"Impact: This causes the rule to fail silently. In my example, the "VIP Customer" tag only exists in the "Support Requests" inbox. Because the tag action now runs before the move action, the tag isn't applied, the thread is moved but remains untagged

We’re excited to answer your questions and get you started, with the help of Front’s two knowledge base experts:Anisha: Our internal PM for Knowledge Base who can answer anything related to its features, roadmap, workflows, and tips.

I can forward or re-send a message as a new conversation. But I often want to reply in a new conversation - follow up on one element of a conversation with an external person, without keeping all my colleagues subscribed to it. Is there a way to do that? 

No one on my team can find our 'Discussions' since the latest update. Where did it go???

Many users are reporting that when they search their inbox/shared inbox for a specific tag, emails show up that don’t have this tag. Why would this be?

We can make individual message templates available to specific inboxes — is there a way to do the same for entire template folders? Thanks for your help!   

So far I see only one discussion on desktop vs browser, so I am here to ask if there is a resource to give a full comparison on the differences between the two. I notice the training course deals with the web browser and I am curious how the behavior differs when creating tags. in the browser there are toggles to show in conversation and allow all inboxes. alternatively the desktop only gives an option to specify teammates that can use the tags. allowing all does not seem to be achievable efficiently. so where can i read on the distinction between applications? 

I am able to receive emails in Front and reply in Gmail. But when I try to reply in Front I get an ‘unable to send’ error. What is the issue? 

How’s everyone feeling about the new update? Personally, I’m struggling to find the value of the changes compared to the old model. Search bar moved, requiring extra clicks New layout sorting by “Open” and “Done”, then broken out by assigned/subscribed/inbox seems unhelpful. Additional time required to find archive. I like tasks--nice that the new layout allows filtering by tasks and discussions, however-- Discussions as a standalone category was nice.  Dropdown list for Inbox/Calendar/Settings/Analytics seems too hidden, easier when the icons were listed out at the top.  Objects condensed: I built a dynamic variable automatically linking a URL to the top of emails, but that is now condensed into an object icon instead of displaying the link at the very top.  I always give updates a chance a commit instead of reverting to old settings. I’m hoping its an evolving update, I realize this is the first

I am looking for a Front expert to help my company better utliize Front email settings, rules, etc…..does anyone know of Front Experts/Consultant for hire? Some of us have no time to try and figure this stuff out wehile growing a company:)

Anyone else have front erase all the cc’s on any draft email left open over night? I’m assuming they all get erased when the computer goes into rest mode but it doesn’t happen to a co-worker. 

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 notifications”, but I am still receiving Desktop and Mobile calendar notifications. See screenshot below.   

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. Are there any other things I can try? The are connected to O365 ThanksThomas

What has been the single BEST tool you have used in Front?

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 can’t 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? 

Hi, is it possible to have Claude read all of Front’s transcripts and extract insights? Grain (our call recording software) has an MCP integration https://grain.com/release-note/06-18-2025 that is wildly helpful for marketing teams to understand patterns.  One use case is, “What 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 themes”. We’ll then set up webinars for these topics. There’s just so much raw data in Front that it’s hard to make sense of it manually for marketers, so an integration would really help! 

Hi I’ve been struggling to have our contact list up to date and it would really help me to have the ability to mass delete auto-created contacts. Perhaps you can integrate this feature or at least allow front support to have an internal way to achieve this.

Hello, I’d like to raise another problem I encounter regularly after the new interface and see if other users also struggle with this. I have several teams using Front and swap between them in the Settings pane. I am used to design where the selection pane/sidebar on the left in off-white shows my selections.How come the workspace is only a small letter “I” icon? Then I have to look over into the white configuration pane to confirm I am looking at the “IT Ops” 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 “I”. Why are they just “I”s and can’t be the full workspace name in the off-white sidebar? It’s unnecessary that I cannot see the workspace selection on the left and am given only different colors of “I”.
