What it does

Every inbound conversation in a Front shared inbox gets an AI-written first-response draft that matches the customer's tier. Enterprise gets a warmer, more detailed, named-contact tone; self-serve gets a crisp, link-forward reply. The draft sits in Front waiting for a human to approve and send, so you keep speed without losing the human gate.

When to use it

Use it on a high-volume support inbox where first-response time matters and you serve multiple plan tiers from the same queue. Ideal when agents waste minutes re-typing the same openers and want a tier-appropriate starting point instead of a blank reply box.

How it works

  1. 1A new Front conversation triggers the flow.
  2. 2The customer's email is looked up against a tier table to resolve their plan (enterprise, pro, self-serve).
  3. 3A branch selects the tone profile and reply depth for that tier.
  4. 4OpenAI drafts the first response using the conversation body and tier tone profile.
  5. 5The draft is written back to the Front conversation as an unsent draft and the agent is assigned.
