I have been able to connect to Microsoft but cannot save the credentials in Front.  I keep getting an error message.  I know the email address and password are correct as I am able to log into the account directly.I’ve reached out for help but haven’t gotten a response.Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have been dabbling with Front’s Analytics via the API. One thing I cannot seem to find is what interval is being used for the time based metrics. My assumption is that these are seconds and that each of them is in the same interval but that is not specified in any of the documentation. Could someone help clear this up for me?

We’re very interested in leveraging the Dynamic Objects feature!  The issue I’m running into is that our strings don’t have a static component like the ones shown in all examples.To better clarify our instance, we use booking IDs that are composed of (currently) 6 digits (for example 123456). Booking IDs are assigned to bookings on an increasing basis (so the subsequent 2 bookings received would have IDs 123457 and 123458 respectively). I see also that strings cannot include spaces (so we wouldn’t be able to recognize strings from messages containing for example “I am asking about Booking 123456”). Occasionally, a customer may say “I am asking about Booking #123456”, in which case the static component of the string could be the #, however this would miss the vast majority of instances where the Dynamic Object could be applied. Are there any solutions to this?Thanks!

Hello everyone!I am trying to execute the process of custom SMTP channels creation, using the API. I am having trouble trying to setup a custom smtp channel that is validated and is properly configured (smtp server, port,...).With api2.frontapp.com/inboxes/XXXX/channels I manage to create an smtp channel, but it’s not valid, and the SMTP settings I send in the JSON body are not set up (although they are taken by the request).With api2.frontapp.com/channels/XXXX/validate I am able to validate that newly created channel according to the response, but in Front’s UI I am still required to send the validation test email.Trying to use PATCH api2.frontapp.com/channels/XXXX is not valid, since I cannot setup the custom SMTP settings for the channel that way (only a handful of settings that I don’t need).Am I doing something wrong here, or is the process I’m trying to do not possible to execute via the API?Thank you very much.

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

Hello! I Can't Share my Front Certified admin Cert on Linkedin beause the website is a bit buggy. Can anyone help here?  

Hello community, Is there a way to include the email inquiry in an auto generated reply? Currently the auto generated reply only includes the email header, and not the body of the email. Customers would like to see the body of their email inquiry in the auto generated reply with the conversation number.  thanks,Steve

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? 

Hello,I have using the search endpoint for conversations in a script for several weeks but I have a recent problem with the page_token that seems to be the same at each response.So my script is running in a loop and don’t stop anymore.Have you changed anything in your page_token generation ?Has someone have the same problem?Thank you for your help

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

When will there be an option to send voice messages within Front?

We still need to use another support solution together with Front as Front does not provide a simple “hide comment” feature for Meta comments.When can we get this function?  

I’ve tried to send new message reply with signature via API:POST https://api2.frontapp.com/conversations/cnv_xyz/messages However I’ve got an error like this:{ "_error": { "status": 403, "title": "Forbidden", "message": "This agent is not allowed to read the \"signature\" with ID: \"1234567\"" }}So I tried to list signatures of my account like this:GET https://api2.frontapp.com/teammates/tea_xyz/signatures/But  I’ve got something similar{ "_error": { "status": 403, "title": "Forbidden", "message": "You do not have access to the resources of this teammate." }}What should I do in order to send message with signature?Where should I add some rights/permission?

Hello,  I own a real estate company and I need my admin to be able to access my emails and respond as needed. I am super excited about what front has to offer but I am getting extremely frustrated with the set up process. I have added the inbox the inbox that we need to share and invited my admin. However, nothing is happening. My emails are not routing. I am not technical at all nor am I interested in watching videos to learn this thing. I would like to pay someone to help me set up my account correctly. please reach out if interested.  thank you, Bintou 

I am a complete noob when it comes to Front.  I had never heard of it until my new client told me about it.  After checking it out, I am quite impressed but still a little confused.  Hopefully, some experienced folks can help me out.  So far, searching help hasn’t answered my questions. I use Outlook on a M365 account.  I went ahead and added my personal inbox just so I could work more with Front since I’m not quite yet ready to respond to client issues in Front.  It pulled in ALL of my email not just what was in my InBox!  UGH So.  I spent an hour and moved my emails in Outlook to Archive and all my saved folders that were stored under the Inbox Folder are now under the Archive folder.  But it seems Front either is still pulling them in, or once it pulls, it never truly syncs so in is in until removed through Front. I did add a rule to move anything that isn’t in certain “tags” which seems to equate to my Outlook folders.  But it doesn’t appear rules run AFTER email is received so I’l

One of my agents who works with us for a long time already,can suddenly not type (neither answer to a ticket nor write in the comment section) in existing tickets anymore. The same problem exists for all inboxes that we use.The only exception is that when creating a new ticket from scratch, she can write as usual.The issue is not her keyboard, because also writing outside of Front works perfectly.Restarting, logging off etc. didn’t help. Do you have any idea how to troubleshoot this?

Hi there, I have just written an integration that interfaces with the core API and I am beginning the process of trying to get it listed in the integrations marketplace. However, I am slightly confused by the Airtable form: The “Screenshots” field is required, with the directive to “include at least one screenshot of how the integration appears in Front.” The problem is that our integration does not appear in Front at all. What would you like us to show? What is meant by “Website or landing page url”? Would you like our homepage or the URL that users should go to to start the installation flow?Thanks so much.

Hi - does anyone know how to merge discussions? Thanks!

I am looking to use the Fetch an analytics report. endpoint to pull in a report that I already have created. However, I am not seeing a way via the API to list out the existing reports so I can locate the report_uid. I also do not see the report_uid in the URL of the UI or listed anywhere else.Can I only fetch analytics reports that I’ve created via the API with the Create a new analytics report. endpoint? Or is it possible to fetch existing analytics reports that were created in the UI?Thank you!

Hello, We recently started working with the Number plugin to send WHATSAPP messages. Is there any way that we can start a conversation on the WHATSAPP channel and add a customer without having to type the whole name or phone number? Typically, when creating emails, we can type the first few letters and suggestions would come up. but not for WHATSAPP conversations
