Where Front fits

Front combines customer communication channels in shared inboxes, with collaboration features such as assignment, comments, mentions and shared drafts.

Front may be the better match when your workspace combines many communication channels or personal and shared inbox workflows. Map the channels and inbox structure your team uses before choosing a narrower website-support setup. An email-continuation feature is not the same requirement as managing every employee mailbox.

What should you test before switching?

Have two agents open the same customer question. One begins drafting and the other adds useful private context. Compare how easily they avoid duplicate replies and how the next owner knows what to do after a shift change.

1. List personal, shared and external communication channels separately.
2. Test two teammates viewing and composing at once.
3. Use an internal note and mention during a handover.

Keep a record of which answers were correct, which requests needed a person, and whether customers could continue after leaving the page. Use the same facts and questions in each trial.
