What it does

Customers often email support and then open a live chat about the same problem minutes later, splintering the context across two Front conversations. This workflow recognizes the overlap by comparing the new conversation against the requester's recent threads and collapses the duplicate into a single canonical conversation, preserving both channels' history.

When to use it

When your team uses Front for multiple inboxes (email, chat, SMS) and the same person frequently reaches out twice. It keeps one timeline per issue so agents stop replying in parallel.

How it works

  1. 1A new inbound Front conversation triggers the flow.
  2. 2The conversation text is embedded via Hugging Face.
  3. 3Other open conversations from the same contact are loaded from Front and compared.
  4. 4A branch decides if the closest match is the same underlying issue.
  5. 5If so, the newer conversation is merged into the older canonical one and an internal note records the link.
  6. 6The merge decision and score are logged to Postgres for audit and tuning.
