Automated Front Conversation Routing and Handoff

Every hour, WebRun opens Front, checks unassigned conversations in the shared inbox, creates a Trello card for anything that needs a specialist like billing or technical support, and messages the assigned teammate on WhatsApp so nothing sits unassigned for long.

In short

How do I route unassigned Front conversations to the right teammate?

WebRun checks Front every hour for conversations sitting unassigned in the shared inbox. It creates a Trello card for anything that needs a billing or technical specialist and messages the assigned teammate on WhatsApp, so a customer conversation never waits long for the right person to pick it up.

  • Unassigned conversations get routed within the hour they arrive
  • Every handoff comes with a Trello card teammates can act on
  • No customer conversation sits unassigned for a full shift

Questions, answered

Will it reply to the customer in Front?

No. WebRun only reads unassigned conversations and routes them. Replying to the customer stays with whichever teammate picks up the conversation.

How does it decide who a conversation needs?

It reads the conversation for signals like billing questions or technical issues and routes it to the matching specialist, rather than guessing from the subject alone.

What if a conversation is already assigned?

It only looks at conversations sitting unassigned, so anything already picked up by a teammate is left alone.

Put this on autopilot.
