{{recipient.first_name}} Pulling Entire Name IssuesSpacing them evening Have tried using dashes, parentheses, quotes, etc. When a recipient has a longer name that includes details we like to track, the {{recipient.first_name}} variable ends up pulling the entire contact name, not just their first name. Then, if I remove the full name and have it just First + Last name, {{recipient.first_name}} behaves correctly again.In the example below, the contact details, the first name, and initials show up just fine next to the account details. This glitch only affects about 20 out of our 100+ contacts that we are doing this for, but it makes our automated messages look super robotic.Any ideas on how we can fix this?Example is using this template:“Hi {{recipient.first_name}}, great news! We’ve received your signed contract and are excited to start working with you :)” With just first + last name:One first + last name, still using {{recipient.first_name}}--------------With First + Last Name + Titl

What happens when a customer engages with AI Answers and the answer is somewhat off, but the customer either self-selected that the answer was helpful, or they dropped off so it was counted as a resolution? Will that skew future AI Answers for similar questions? My worry is that if an answer is logged as a “resolution” (even when the answer is not ideal) then AI Answers will continue to use that answer in the future. My hope is that the Knowledge Base is the only source of truth and AI Answers always scans the Knowledge Base for a fresh answer, and does not leverage prior answers that it has sent in the past. When I’ve found answers that were slightly off but counted as resolutions, I’ve made updates to our Knowledge Base, and I’m hoping that was all that is needed to give AI Answers a better shot of answering more correctly next time!

Hello Team, We are currently implementing the OAuth flow in our application to support multiple Front users. Our application uses a common redirect URL to receive the OAuth token after the user grants permission. However, we are facing a challenge in identifying to which user's request the token was sent. Could you please advise on how to correctly identify the user associated with each token received through the common redirect URL?Thank you for your assistance. Regards,Karthik Vishwambarkvishwambar@amgine.ai

We uploaded our custom fonts to our knowledge base, but it affects ALL the text, which makes the body text harder to read. It would be nice for either the uploaded custom text to only affect the header text or for us to be able to choose.  

Currently the Slack integration does not work with sending outbound messages (new messages, not threads) since these outbound messages are not attached to a mailbox. How can I make it so these outbound messages send to Slack?

We would like to avoid using customer mailboxes as Front suggests, but still want to view each customer’s messages on a per customer basis in our sidebar by default. How would we go about achieving this?

Can you recall an email after it was sent but the recipient has not opened the email yet? TIA

Is there a plugin for note taking?  I use the notepad on my computer for taking all of my notes for different emails and once I don’t need that note anymore I delete it...I want to be able to keep the notepad on the side panel of my inbox where the plug-ins are instead of having to go back and forth between tabs.

Hello everyone,We are planning to create custom fields for both contacts and dynamic objects and import data through API to get the most up to date data in Front. So far so good. Now we were wondering if it’s possible to send data back as well. So let's say a certain custom field is manually adjusted/updated in Front, is there a way to send that updated data back? We had hoped to use the webhooks for that but it seems like the events for webhooks do not include events for that purpose.Also, I believe that until a few weeks ago there was the possibility to use webhooks in rules? I don't see that option anymore. Can anyone confirm or am I mixing things up?

I recently got an error calling the `messages` api but the error was truncated.

Hi all,I can’t see, inside the API Reference, a way to list messages based on specific criteria such as from/to adresses, dates, or even a Conversation IDIt seems Events could be used for this intent but I can’t find a way to filter the events I list based on the type = message (seems type can’t be used as query filter ‘q’)…Is there any way you can think of to identify whether or not, a message has been received:Within 24hours From a specific email address Containing a specific keyword inside the subject or body oThanks you so much for your help guys !Cheers,Sacha

Hi all,I’m building an API integration that requires data from the “quotes” in comments. I’m not sure if that’s the right Front technical term for them. The visual objects in comments that are created when you highlight text in a message and click “comment”. This:I need to be able access the text of the quote (e.g. “We’ll pass...”), and get a reference to the message the quote is from and it’s sender (e.g. “Su ____”, and their email, etc.). I’ve looked pretty extensively at what’s included in the response to the "Get comment" endpoint, and what’s linked to from there, as well as perusing the other API endpoints. As far as I can tell, these “quotes” are not represented in the API at all. Even the `body` of the comment object doesn’t include anything about the quote, it just says “#crm Testing adding notes to the CRM, please ignore!”.Is it the case that quotes aren’t represented in the API? Is there any way I can access this data programmaticly?Thanks in advance!James

Hi there, Is it possible to get a list of contacts by a custom field value? I’ve got a scenario where I need to apply some updates to contacts based on an account number, which we stamp on the contacts as a custom field. In our internal systems we have no idea which contacts in Front are linked with which account numbers as our internal systems allow a contact to exist against multiple accounts/branches, in Front however the contacts are stamped with a single account number, which users can edit in Front.

What is the best way to append a message to the end of all company signatures without updating each one manually?

Good Morning all, I have been developing performance metrics based off the analytics exports for activity, and have encountered a use case I wish to accommodate. I want to know the amount of time between a snooze expiring and action being taken on a case. the activity dataset currently holds when a snooze was initiated, but as neither the expiry date/time or length of snooze. Is data on snooze expiry/length stored elsewhere? I’d appreciate any assistance on this, Chris.

Hi team,We frequently use message templates to speed up workflow and give consistent and concise replies to our customers. We also use tags on every email we receive to differentiate between query types.My question is can we automate tags to be added when using a specific message template to minimize any manual interaction with these common queries we receive? Thanks!

I’m new to front and new to apis so forgive me if this is simple but any help would be greatly appreciated. We use an ITSM tool called Autotask and I’m trying to create dynamic variables in front that recognise autotask ticket numbers (T20240518.1010) and then using the autotask API pull through details about the ticket. I’ve got the connection to autotask working.The difficulty I’m facing is trying to get the target URL to work. It’s thishttps://ww16.autotask.net/Mvc/ServiceDesk/TicketDetail.mvc?workspace=False&mode=0&TicketID=TICKETIDUnfortunaltey TICKETID isn’t the ticket number mentioned above, it’s a separate 6 digit number.So….I’m creating a dynamic variable that uses the autotask API to get the ticket ID when inputting the ticket number.When I use postman with a known ticket number in the API endpoint (not sure if that’s correct terminology)https://webservices16.autotask.net/atservicesrest/v1.0/tickets/query?search={ "IncludeFields": ["id"], "filter":[{"op":"eq","field":
