CSAT Rule

If anyone has advice, I would greatly appreciate it! For our CSAT survey, we have a rule to send a survey when we have an inbound chat or email. The challenge right now is the survey is being sent to all of our spam emails when we tag it (we tag as auto emails do not count for analytics for our reporting) and archive it. Is there any way to include an “exclude” statement for the rule to leave out all of the DMARC auto generated emails? Thank you!

How do you adjust Tags automatically being placed on messages?

We have multiple tags relating to our business and when customers are messaging us through. When customers send a message to us. It can appear with multiple tags that aren’t relevant to the request. For example: Messages are being tagged as an issue with the app and going to Tech when in reality they’re mentioning they’re having a payment issue on the app which needs to go through to billing. Is there a way to flag multiple keywords in a message before applying a tag to fine tune the flow of our messages?

Front Unable to Detect Internet Connection?

I’ve never encountered this before, but a colleague has just written to me saying that Front can’t find an internet connection. He is connected, as we’ve been conversing back and forth in Slack and via e-mail, so I’m not sure what the trouble may be?Is there a setting somewhere that puts Front into offline mode?

Linked conversations AMA: create new action items from conversationsAMA

We’ve all experienced those times when a single customer email generates several action items and requires us to work with multiple people. Good news is that we have Front, which already enables us to be very efficient at internal collaboration — but the better news is that we now have a brand new feature to help you spin off new conversations linked to the original so that you can keep all the related tasks organized! Enter linked conversations, the newest way to streamline your work even further.Here’s how it works:If you have any questions about this feature, our product team is eager to hear them and will answer them on Thursday, December 7 (including any that come in after this date). Leave them for us below 😀

Rule Library

Does anyone know where I can find the Rule Library? The Routing & assigning conversations course in the Front Academy indicated there is a Rule Library tab in between the team rules tab and the load balancing tab but it seems to be missing for me.

Tags used are not showing up in analytics

I’m using a bunch of tags in conversations and when I go to the report, it will only show 1 tag that used once in more than hundreds of conversations. Anyone having this issue? Is it a configuration thing?

CSAT survey sending to our own inbox instead of customer

I’m trying to set up a CSAT survey rule, however when the rule is triggered it sends the CSAT survey reply to our own inbox instead of to the customer email. This is how my test rule looks at the moment: I emailed our inbox from my work email, and when the rule was triggered the CSAT was sent to our inbox instead of to my work email (customer).

Tag Codes

Hi There!I am trying to se up a rule set using tags as a dynamic variable. However, it appears in the help documentation that there are codes for individual tags that I do not seem to be able to find. Does anyone know where to get these? Otherwise, my entire csv is useless as I need to select each tag manually anyway. This is the documentation I’m referring to: https://help.front.com/en/articles/2123

mass

Hello, I am looking for some advice on how to send a mass/bulk email to customers we have quoted work for in an one email but I want them to have their individual thread. I would normally BCC all of the customers in one email, but Front puts them all in one thread and the responses get crazy. Any suggestions?

Checklists and tracking to-do's

Hey! Been using Front for a bit of time now, but have been struggling with the calendar not having any to-do list add-ons. Todoist does not offer the functionality we need in that you can’t see your upcoming tasks, and snoozing emails is not exactly the same. Currently still referring to google calendar for this. Any suggestions on how others may have integrated it all in Front would be welcomed!

Auto Replies and Distribution Lists

Auto replies are a big selling point that our teams would like to take advantage of, but we typically run into issues since using a distribution list is not compatible with the feature per testing and the setup guide. Has anyone found a good workaround, or an easy way to automate replies when there’s a distribution list in the recipients field?

Should be able to add any other language to the Knowledge Base

In the section where you want to enable other languages we still have to do all translations. There should then be an option to add Another language which you then give a name. Then the other features to translate all entries etc should be the same as for “supported” languages.

No Send & Archive Option on Mobile App When Send & Snooze is Enabled

I use Front on my phone quite often and one feature that’s really missing is the following. When you have Send & Snooze enabled, there is no way to Send & Archive a message on the phone in an open thread. On desktop, you can just press CTRL + Enter. There should be an option for mobile as well.

Emails sent in outlook showing up in Front Inbox

We’ve recently moved our shared outlook inboxes to Front, but we still have some emails that need to be sent directly via outlook. This is caused one large issue: Every time an email is sent via outlook, that email shows up as a new ticket in our shared Front email box.Is there anything that can be done to prevent this - somehow either not sync emails sent via outlook or automatically move those emails to the Front Archive folder?thanks!!

Assisting users who really struggle with the move from Outlook to Front

Question for the community. Has anyone had someone they have setup Front for, and they simply do not get how it works? Totally stuck within the Outlook realm no matter how many training sessions, and guidance you have given? Keen to understand how others have overcome this.

Can Front use SMS and Whatsapp from Twilio with the same phone number?

These integrations are great but could someone explain why the same phone number cannot be used for both SMS and Whatsapp through Twilio?
