  • ActionMove conversation to matched inboxFront
  • OutputPost intent and summary as internal commentFront

What it does

Every inbound message that opens a new Front conversation gets read and classified — billing, technical, sales, or cancellation — then assigned to the matching team inbox. The bot also leaves an internal comment stating the detected intent and a one-line summary, so whoever picks it up knows the route was deliberate.

When to use it

Use it when a single catch-all address (hello@, info@) feeds multiple teams and manual triage is the bottleneck. It removes the human sorting step and gets each conversation to the right queue within seconds.

How it works

  1. 1Front fires on inbound message creating a new conversation.
  2. 2An OpenAI call classifies the message into one of your defined intent buckets and writes a one-line summary.
  3. 3A logic branch maps the detected intent to the correct Front team inbox or rule.
  4. 4The bot moves the conversation to that inbox and posts an internal comment recording the intent and summary for the receiving agent.
