Multiple users with same default channel

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?

Duplicate Rules and Macros

Is there a way top duplicate rules and macros? It’s frustrating to create rules all over again and they are pretty similar.

Making Sending Messages in Chat Less Cumbersome

I have two minor gripes about front chat and was curious if anyone knew of a workaround. After replying replying to a chat message directly from a chat inbox it assigns it to the person replying and the chat disappears as it moves from the chat inbox to the teammates assigned inbox. This is minor but it is annoying to have to reply → click to your assigned inbox and find the message → continue conversation. Is there a better workflow there? We have ticket statuses enabled for our chats. Once you have replied and you are actively chatting with a customer it is a bit annoying to have to constantly select the “send as open” option from the dropdown when replying. Is there a workaround there without having to change your default send option in personal preferences? Ideally we would like to be able to quickly chat back and forth with a customer without having to manually select a send option or have the chat disappear and reappear when sending as resolved. Any help is much appreciated.

New to front and looking for consultant.

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.

Rules within a Custom View

Hello, I use a custom view to alert me when we have staff working on conversations in the wrong in box which works great. I move the conversation off to the correct in box but would like to add one more step. To track these wrong in box conversations (stats purposes) I’m now placing a tag on them manually. Is it possible to build a rule using the view settings to add a tag automatically? The rule would add the tag 📫 to any conversation captured by the settings for the view I have set up. Is this possible? Thanks, Harry

Single conversation in multiple inboxes?

Hi,I am looking for a way to attach single conversation to two inboxes. This sometimes happens naturally upon merging, but can I do this without? I’d be a lifesaver. Thanks!

Simplifying Customer Self-Help

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?

Help Us Catch Critical Outage Reports Faster

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.

Dynamic Variable Using Conversation Name

Hello, Is it possible to create a dynamic variable to use a conversation name? For example, when we authorize a claim the claim number is in the conversation name during the email exchanges. Once the email is authorized it would be great to add the variable into our authorization template for responding and save several steps that might get missed.

Is there a way to link to compose an SMS?

I’m looking for a way to include a link that users can click on to compose a new Twilio SMS in Front. Ideally it would work similar to clicking the phone number on a contact record (where it opens a compose window with the To: field already pointing to the phone number. Is this possible today? It would be great if it was possible to just have a link like app.front.com/compose?type=sms&to=1234567891 but I’m also open to using the core API to create a new conversation and then link to that conversation.

Gmail stopped syncing with Front for all channels

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.
