What it does

Every time a Front conversation changes assignee, this workflow reads the full message history, asks an LLM to write a tight handoff brief (customer ask, what's been tried, what's blocking, suggested next step), and posts it back as a private comment on the conversation. The new owner sees the context without scrolling the whole thread.

When to use it

Run this on any shared inbox where conversations bounce between agents — tiered support, follow-the-sun coverage, or escalations from frontline to specialists. It kills the "let me catch up first" delay on every handoff.

How it works

  1. 1Front fires an `assignee changed` event for a conversation.
  2. 2The workflow pulls every message and comment in the thread via the Front API.
  3. 3An OpenAI call condenses the thread into a 5-line handoff brief with the original ask, actions taken, current blocker, and a recommended next move.
  4. 4The brief is posted back to the same conversation as a private comment (visible only to teammates, never the customer), tagged so it's easy to spot.
