What it does

This workflow keeps Front conversations moving by detecting external threads that breach their reply SLA and rebalancing ownership. If the current assignee is out of office or over capacity, it reassigns the conversation to an available teammate and records the handoff so nothing silently rots in one person's queue.

When to use it

Use it for support and inbox teams on Front where coverage gaps, PTO, or uneven load cause some conversations to stall past their committed response time.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule triggers a scan of open Front conversations.
  2. 2The flow identifies external conversations past their SLA with no agent reply since the last inbound message.
  3. 3A logic step checks each current assignee's availability and open-load against thresholds.
  4. 4For stale threads on unavailable or overloaded owners, it reassigns the Front conversation to the next available teammate.
  5. 5It posts the reassignment, old and new owner, and overdue duration to a Slack ops channel.
