Front Integration
Overview
Front is a customer communication hub that surrounds every high-stakes conversation with team collaboration capabilities and contextual data to ensure responses are always fast, accurate and deeply personalized. Front’s modern interface is inspired by email clients, which team members love because it’s familiar and easy to use. Behind the scenes, powerful automation capabilities eliminate manual workflows across systems, and detailed analytics make it easy to improve team performance and the health of customer relationships.
The Front + Dialpad integration brings all your work communication into one place, from emails to live chat to phone calls. With your Dialpad phone accessible in Front, it’s easy to call new leads or follow up with customers in one click, right from where you spend most of your work day — your inbox.
