What is Front?

The Front skill for Openclaw Skills provides a powerful interface to the Front.app API, enabling developers and support teams to manage customer communication without leaving their terminal or agent environment. It facilitates everything from listing inboxes to tagging conversations and assigning teammates, making it an essential component for automated customer support and internal collaboration workflows.

By leveraging this skill, users can integrate Front multi-channel capabilities into their broader AI-driven automation stack. This ensures that every interaction is tracked, categorized, and responded to efficiently, whether through automated replies or team-coordinated efforts.

Front Use Cases

  • Monitoring unassigned inbox conversations for rapid response.
  • Searching for specific customer history using email, handles, or tags.
  • Adding internal team notes or context to conversations via comments for better collaboration.
  • Automating message replies or creating drafts for human review to maintain high service levels.
  • Assigning conversations to specific teammates based on workload, expertise, or priority.

How Front Works

  1. The skill authenticates with the Front API using a secure Bearer token provided in the user configuration.
  2. Users or agents execute CLI commands via the front.sh script to interact with various API endpoints.
  3. The skill fetches data such as conversations, messages, and tags, or sends data like replies and internal comments to Front company-specific API base.
  4. Advanced filtering allows for retrieving unassigned, assigned, or archived conversations to maintain strict inbox hygiene.
  5. It provides real-time feedback and structured data outputs that allow for complex logic within Openclaw Skills workflows.

Front Setup

First, obtain your API token from Front by navigating to Settings -> Developers -> API Tokens. You can configure the token as an environment variable or within the local configuration file.

Set environment variable:

export FRONT_API_TOKEN=your_token_here

Or add it to ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json:

{
  "skills": {
    "entries": {
      "front": {
        "apiKey": "YOUR_FRONT_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Front Data Schema & Taxonomy

Entity Prefix Description

Inbox inb_ Specific channels or email addresses where messages arrive.
Message msg_ Individual communications within a conversation.
Teammate tea_ Registered users within the Front workspace.
Tag tag_ Metadata labels for categorization and organization.
