  • LogicContinue only when an original is confirmed
  • ActionMerge tagged thread into the originalFront
  • OutputSend canned consolidation replyFront

What it does

Turns a single tag into a clean merge. When an agent or rule tags a Front conversation as a possible duplicate, the flow verifies the match, merges the threads, and fires a consistent canned reply so the customer is never left wondering what happened.

When to use it

Use it when your team already triages with tags and wants the mechanical merge-and-notify handled instantly. Best for inboxes where agents can spot duplicates faster than logic can, but want enforcement to be uniform.

How it works

  1. 1A Front conversation tagged "possible-duplicate" triggers the flow.
  2. 2Fetch the contact's other open Front conversations.
  3. 3Use OpenAI to confirm which existing thread is the true original and return its ID.
  4. 4Branch: if a confident original is identified, continue; otherwise remove the tag and stop.
  5. 5Merge the tagged conversation into the confirmed original via the Front API.
  6. 6Send the canned consolidation reply on the surviving conversation.
