Rebalance a departing agent's open Front conversations when they go offline

When an agent sets themselves away or logs off in Front, this redistributes their still-open conversations across the remaining online team so nothing sits unattended toward SLA.

What it does

The moment an agent goes away or offline in Front, this workflow gathers their open conversations and spreads them evenly across teammates who are still online, prioritizing the ones closest to their SLA deadline. It prevents a shift change or a quick lunch from stranding active tickets.

When to use it

Use it for shared inboxes with rotating coverage where one person logging off can leave a dozen in-flight conversations with no owner until someone notices.

How it works

  1. 1A Front availability change (agent set to away/offline) triggers the flow.
  2. 2It fetches that agent's open conversations and each one's time-to-SLA.
  3. 3The flow pulls the current load of every online teammate.
  4. 4A distribution step assigns the departing agent's conversations to online teammates, giving the nearest-to-breach tickets to the least-loaded people first.
  5. 5Front reassigns each conversation accordingly.
  6. 6A summary internal comment is added noting the coverage handoff and who received what.
