• Easily undo actions you might have accidentally done while working on the go (move, snooze, archive, delete, etc)

Analytics is no longer just for Admins! Now, any team member can go into the Analytics tab and create their own individual report and look at their contributions to the their team. Individual analytics will allow you to see metrics about your personal performance across the inboxes you have access to, with the ability to set various filters and the option to export the data.

We've added new columns to our analytics exports so you can more easily reconcile the exported data with the metrics displayed on the dashboard.

The new columns are:

• New conversation: indicates whether this message is the first of a new conversation or segment
• First response: indicates whether this message is the first reply to a new inbound conversation or segment
• Replies to resolve: number of replies to inbound messages that exist in a resolved segment
• Business hours: indicates whether the message occurred within business hours

We've been hard at work with Microsoft to use their latest APIs to deliver a better, more complete sync between Office 365 and Front.

Now, when you connect a new Office 365 account or shared mailbox with Front, you'll be able to leverage this new, two-way sync. Front will detect your domain automatically when you add a new inbox, so the setup is simple.

You can also transition an existing inbox from email forwarding with SMTP to the new sync. You'll see all your email activity reflected in both Front and Outlook, so both systems always have the latest. Follow this guide to update your inbox to the new sync.

In addition to sending Front messages to Slack, now you can create new Front conversations from Slack.

Sometimes messages come up in Slack that you want to handle later or track with other customer conversations — like when a teammate pings you asking for an update on a big project, or a bug is reported that you're tracking already in Front.

Now, you can create Front conversations from those Slack messages to handle them in team inboxes. Choose where the message should go, and assign it to yourself — or to someone else on your team to follow up on later. With the new Slack integration update, you can handle questions and follow up tasks from Slack more easily in Front.
