Front: messaging features and setup
A workspace for customer conversations and complex service operations across teams. It emphasizes coordination and clear ownership, especially when a response requires information from multiple departments.

Overview
A customer conversation may require an answer from Sales, an Operations check, and a manager’s decision. Without a single owner, departments may wait on one another or reply in parallel. In Front, map who manages the conversation and who contributes information for the response. The pilot measure is whether the next person can understand what has already been checked and what is still missing, without contacting the customer again or searching for a separate internal discussion.
Features
- Centralized conversations and team activity
- Workflows and coordination across departments
- AI integrated into service and operations
Business uses
- Handling a customer request that involves Sales and Operations before a reply
- Coordinating customer onboarding between Customer Success and Service
Getting started
- Choose a request that requires two teams and map who is responsible at each handoff.
- Create a test conversation that requires an Operations check before a reply, then pass it between two team members according to the responsibility map.
- Check who sees the request for follow-up and who sends the final reply. Confirm that the customer does not receive two uncoordinated responses.
What to check
- Check how ownership is maintained when several people participate in the same conversation.
- Review the separation between internal discussion and replies sent to customers.
