Hello, how can i delete a Help Center? 

Hello, With the new Front upgrade it is much more key stroke driven which is fantastic if you are using a gaming mouse with numerous macros. Is there a master list of all the key stroke functions within Front? Harry

Hello, We have a new employee starting soon and wanted to ask if there is a way we can add load balancing with the Round Robin already in place. 

Hi All,I was wondering if any of you are using the beta for the streamlined inbox experience and how you are finding it.My first thoughts on it was that it was a cleaner look, however after using it some more I can see that it may marginally increase the time worked on in emails.I have found the new look involves more mouse clicks to navigate to simple tasks such as tagging and searching. The ability to quick view linked Jira tasks now also involves clicking into objects.I know I can utilise keyboard shortcuts for a number of these workarounds, but I was wondering what you thoughts on the new look is and how you are navigating this.Regards

Hello, I thought today was the day for the new In Box update and revamp of Front? Did I miss something? Harry

Hi All, I am wondering if it is at all possible to apply a rule template to an already created rule by modifying it. I have a large number of rules created from scratch and seeking to know if I can apply a specific rule template to it. I can see the conditions of the rule template but those options are not available to me in the rules that have been created by scratch.I know the simple solution would be to create a new rule but this is not available to us due to the amount of rules already generated, also deleting an existing rule and recreating is not available to us. Regards

My team and I are trying to find ways to use our AI answers exports to inform the needed updates to our knowledge base to then in turn improve our AI resolution rate and reduce the amount of emails coming into our team. I’m curious if any has found an effective way of doing this, whether it’s using Front’s offerings or supplementing with outside tools?Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!

Recently transitioned to front after 5 years with Trengo. I am looking for someone to consult with me to make full use of front and to streamline our communications.  TBH my hard drive is full and doing a brain format is not possible.  I have more pressing matters to attend to so would prefer to hire someone experienced in setting up front to work better for me and save myself the stress and learning curve. Fairly straightforward use for us so I think someone with knowledge and experience could tune us up quickly.  If you are anyone you know would be interested please drop me a message.  Would really appreciate it.  

The Command + Shift + Number shortcuts to switch between different Front apps (Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, etc) clashes with the default Firefox shortcuts to switch between containers. Would it be possible to customise or remove these Front shortcuts, or to change them to another modifier by selecting one of the alternative Front shortcut sets?

We use the “Create Jira Issue” and “Create Jira Comment” automation actions to sync Front with Jira. Unfortunately, neither of these actions support rich text formatting.  The issue description / comment body is sent to Jira as plain text, which means that hyperlinks are not automatically converted to clickable links.It would be helpful if both of these options supported some form of rich text formatting, such as Wiki Markup, Markdown, or HTML.As an example, this description in the automation action: Produces this result in Jira: Note that the links are not clickable, and none of the formatting is applied.

We'd like to save the files contained in an email to a folder on our company server or to a folder on my desktop. Unfortunately, the only option we've found is drag and drop.Is there a button to ‘Save as’ and choose the location where the file is downloaded ?Thank you for your help. 

We have created a rule which automatically assigns an email from a customer to a member of staff.However, this rule does not take into account back-ups in the event of an agent's absence. Is it possible to include a rule that modifies automatic assignments in the event of absence ?Thanks for your help ! 

My department works on Front but not the rest of my colleagues. We used to use ‘tags’ (like “@Name”) in Outlook to highlight emails to the colleagues concerned. Is it possible to tag in a Front Front and have it visible in Outlook for another user or client ?

We have a sales@ email address that comes to a shared inbox. When individual members of the team respond to the emails that come to that inbox, we want the “From” field to show ONLY sales@, not the individual’s name or email address as an ‘on the behalf of’. How do I set that up?

Hello,We have been experiencing issues in the past 15 hours company wide where email from Gmail accounts are not syncing for our users. Steps we have taken to try and fix this:Restarted the app Updated the app Reauthenticated with GmailWe are able to send from Front with no issues, so this appears to be a possible imap issue? We have made no changes to our configuration, so we are unsure how to fix this problem. I am not sure if others are experiencing this as well, or if this just limited to our accounts. The status page shows all things operational for Gmail and all other services.

Our team uses a knowledge base to answer common questions, but we still spend lots of time manually sharing links, especially in live chats during peak hours. For example: When customers ask about ‘international roaming,’ we paste the same guide repeatedly Questions about ‘data limits’ require digging through articles We’re exploring ways to automatically suggest relevant help articles when certain topics come up in chats or emails. Questions we have: How do you balance automated suggestions with personalized replies? Can we trigger articles based on factors like a customer’s plan type? What metrics best show if this actually reduces reply time?

We have multiple lists that serve different purposes. I’d like to identify all of the lists with a specific word in the name and add them to a master list. I don’t see a way to add a list to another list, and even if I exported the list of shared contacts, it doesn’t look like it would indicate what lists they already belong to. Any suggestions?Use case example: Add all the groups with “Software” in the name and add them to the Business Continuity list to create one master distribution list.

Hi! We’re a small wireless team of five supporting 2,000+ customers. We use Front to automatically flag emails about service outages when customers use phrases like ‘no service.’ But we’ve noticed many urgent reports slip through when people describe problems differently, like ‘can’t connect’ or ‘no signal.’Right now, our team manually checks these emails during busy periods, which delays responses to real emergencies. We’d love advice or any examples of how you handle this.

Our company is looking to take advantage of the “Create reply time goals” to establish a warning and be notified of a breach. The only problem is that during our busy season, the emails that have breached the reply time goal are moved to appear as if they are the newest emails at the top of our lists. Becuase it rearranges the message to appear as the oldest, we do not use this function. We absolutely would use this function if the email would remain in the order that it was received and would only gain a flag to show it needs to be addressed immediately.

Is it possible for responses from customers that aren’t replies to threads that are already active to automatically merge into the thread that is in regards to their concerns? This would allow my team members to continue discussing the subject with the customer versus the email being delivered to the general inbox.

Hi Front team,We’d love to request a feature that allows users to tag entire teammate groups (e.g., @payments-team, @customer-support) in comments or notes within a conversation.Right now, we can only tag individuals, which limits visibility and creates communication gaps when collaboration is needed across functions or shifts. Especially in high-volume scenarios or when handling complex bookings and endorsements, being able to tag a group ensures nothing slips through the cracks, even if specific teammates are out of office.Suggested functionality: Allow admin-created groups to be mentionable with an @ symbol. Teammate groups should receive a notification, just like individual mentions. Group tags should be manageable from the team settings. This small enhancement would significantly improve team coordination and reduce manual steps in reassignment

Hi All,  Not sure if this was part of the recent changes, or if I clicked something accidentally to get the submenus. Any help would be appreciated.   

Hi, is there a way to get Front to show you which email address returned or bounced when you have sent to multiple addresses? I get the following message “A message failed to be delivered dropped /Bounced address” but I don’t see which email it failed to be delivered to. 

Hi all, I wanted to ask if anyone has faced the following problems when it comes to integrating WhatsApp.The below error is what I am getting; is there a way of solving this issue? 

Hi there,We’re a small team and half of us have a break in the logo that’s been working fine in our signatures for years. Any ideas? The code appears consistent across the team.
