What is Front?

Front is a customer communications platform that brings together email, chat, social media, and messaging apps into a single inbox. It's designed for teams that handle customer inquiries across multiple channels and want to avoid switching between different apps. The tool includes automation features to route messages, assign tickets, and respond to common questions, plus analytics to track response times and team performance. Front works as a freemium service, so you can start small and expand as your team grows.
