Automated Front Reply Drafting

Through the working day, WebRun opens your Front shared inbox, reads conversations still waiting on a reply, matches each to your saved answers for common questions, writes a reply draft in the conversation and leaves it unsent, posts the review queue to Slack, and sends managers a Telegram count of what is drafted and what still needs a human answer.

In short

How can I have replies drafted for my shared inbox before I open it?

WebRun keeps your Front inbox ready to answer. Through the day it reads conversations still waiting on a reply, matches each to your saved answers, writes an unsent draft inside the conversation, posts the review queue to Slack, and sends managers a Telegram count of drafted and unanswered threads.

  • Common questions arrive already drafted, never already sent
  • Unusual questions are flagged for a human instead of guessed at
  • Managers see the queue moving without opening the inbox

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send replies to customers on its own?

No. Every reply is saved as an unsent draft inside the Front conversation. A teammate opens it, edits if needed, and presses send, so nothing reaches a customer without a human approving the wording.

What if a question has no good saved answer?

WebRun leaves the conversation without a draft and puts it at the top of the Slack queue marked as needing a human, so unusual questions get a real answer instead of a generic one.

Where do the draft answers come from?

From your own saved replies and previous threads on the same question in Front, so the wording matches how your team already answers rather than inventing a new policy.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
