What it does

Non-English emails sitting in an English-first shared inbox wait while someone figures out who can read them. This template reads each new Front conversation, classifies the language, and if it isn't English, moves the conversation to the correct regional team inbox and drops a concise English summary plus key details as an internal comment.

When to use it

Use it when one Front inbox receives mail in several languages and you have dedicated regional teams (for example DE, FR, ES, JP) who should own those conversations. It removes the manual triage step and the back-and-forth of asking colleagues to translate.

How it works

  1. 1A new inbound conversation in the watched Front inbox fires the trigger.
  2. 2OpenAI classifies the body's primary language and returns an ISO code.
  3. 3A branch checks whether the language is English; English conversations pass through untouched.
  4. 4For non-English mail, OpenAI produces a short English summary of the customer's request.
  5. 5Front reassigns the conversation to the inbox or teammate mapped to that language.
  6. 6Front posts the translated summary and detected language as an internal comment for the receiving agent.
