Now, you can log in to the Jira integration via OAuth for either Jira Server or Jira Cloud, instead of using API tokens 🔐

From there, you can create new issues from Front or link conversations to existing issues to add context. When the Jira issue closes, related conversations in Front will reopen so that you can easily respond to those customers.

Avoid those 🤦🏻‍♀️moments and never confuse recipients again. Now, Front gives you more information about who you're adding to an email (first and last name, teammate status, and contact group indicators) to make sure you're adding exactly the person you're looking for.

And whenever someone new joins your Front team, they'll be added to your address book automatically.

If you had previously enabled notifications for a certain inbox, you would not receive a notification if a conversation was moved there — only if a new message were sent to it directly.

Now, when you use the IF a message arrives in [inbox] trigger in your notification rule, you'll get a notification for both new messages and moved conversations. You won't miss a thing 🔔

Front gives admins powerful controls to set users up for success and achieve their business goals. Today, we’re introducing 3 new ways to manage user onboarding and workflows that make implementing Front with consistency across your organization a breeze 🙌

• Create teammate templates for common user roles (like Support Reps or Account Managers) to give new users in these roles the settings they need instantly. You save time, instead of configuring from scratch, and have complete control, unlike cloning from a user who has modified their settings. Requires Access Management add-on.

• You can also now invite teammates by CSV to add a group of new users in a batch, instead of one by one. You can even define teammate templates for these users in the CSV to set everything up in one step.

• Use company rules to create up company-wide workflows, instead of creating duplicate rules for your users. They allow you to enforce SLAs and unify all client communication in team inboxes with consolidated rules that can target individual and team inboxes at the same time. Requires Pro or Enterprise plan.
