What it does

This bridges raw email into your Front workflow with a draft already attached. Each message hitting your shared support inbox is summarized, drafted into a first reply, and pushed into Front as a conversation with the draft ready — no agent ever opens a cold, empty thread.

When to use it

When support still flows through a shared mailbox before it reaches your helpdesk, and you want drafting to happen at the front door rather than after an agent picks the ticket up.

How it works

  1. 1A new email in the monitored Gmail support inbox triggers the flow.
  2. 2A filter drops auto-replies, bounces, and spam so only real customer mail proceeds.
  3. 3OpenAI summarizes the email and drafts a first reply with a suggested subject line.
  4. 4The flow creates a Front conversation from the email thread.
  5. 5The AI reply is saved as a draft on that Front conversation for the agent to review, edit, and send.
