We're excited to introduce Front 2.0, re-designed and re-coded from scratch: it’s faster and includes new features (real time activity, detailed analytics, advanced keyboard shortcuts). We're on a mission to change how teams communicate with the world for the better, and we believe this release is a big step in that direction. However, we'd love your feedback.

Great service, love it, brilliant work Mathilde. We use Front everyday for deciding who in our team responds to user/client questions.

We use Front at Detour and I love it. Used Zendesk for CS at Groupon and Zendesk was awesome compared to what existed before - Front is to Zendesk as Zendesk was to whatever came before. It makes working through tickets ridiculously fast.

Very well done!

I'm jazzed about trying this (at some point, when I get my head above water, when I can...). I'm curious about the integrations available today.

Finally! We were using the first version for a while, however this one looks much better.

great update! we've been using it for a few weeks, and the UI/UX improvement is a big reason our team doubled down on front. we use front to transparently share & manage inboxes across our leadership and management teams. it's perhaps a bit unconventional, as many think of personal inboxes as private...but it makes our lives easier, our company better and our communications more efficient. ...and because we use @SlackHQ, we have relegated email to externally-focused communication only, so Front is a perfect tool for us! // Aside from all that, it's been exciting to see the product evolve. I suppose it's not quite perfect (that, or we need to figure out a few things internally)...it seems like i will occasionally "lose" incoming emails in Front...so I haven't quite abandoned a traditional client...but the benefits it provides us far outweigh the drawbacks. I think we just have some things to learn about, for example, what happens when an external party replied to a thread that's already assigned to someone...little stuff like that. overall, love the product, and I can't wait to see it grow as a product and as a part of our workflow.

@SlackHQ @pomajp thanks for this feedback Jonathan. That's very useful. When a new email arrives in a conversation already assigned to someone, the person assigned is the only one to be notified. And it goes in her/his inbox! That might be the reason why you feel like you occasionally "lose" some emails? See you soon!

Super excited to give this a try. Seems like a brilliant way to cut the game of ping-pong!

@stewart @kamilszybalski 100% agree! this article has inspired us a lot!

@collinmathilde Do you recommend using Front along side a help desk software or is Front a help desk replacement? We current use Freshdesk.
Mathilde Collin
Thanks for asking. he have customers that use Front and a help desk (ex: they use front for partnerships@ + sales@ + press@ and could not do that in Freshdesk) and we have customers who switched from a ticketing system to Front (because they prefer to have email interactions with their customers than tickets + Front is much faster and simpler). Does that make sense?

@collinmathilde and her team are simply amazing. Really impressed with what they built. We love using Front at @getcleanly
Manan Shah
Looks brilliant. I think I am going to give it a go.
Mathilde Collin

Christian Montoya
Excellent idea!

Great product from day one. I'm in love with the website and the use of legos! Brings back great memories.
Simon Dawlat
nice redesign – I was browsing around thinking "hm looks a little like Sl.." and then the minimal techno on your presentation video blew my mind ;)
Mathilde Collin
@Virtualgoodz haha I'm glad you like it Simon ;)
Solene Maître
It's very nice and slick! It should have been called Lego though:) Congrats Mathilde and the team! @collinmathilde do you think you guys will focus on serving just one use case and one type of customers or you want to stay a tool that any team can tweak to fit all your needs? Having using slack for a while with my team the ONE thing that I love about it is the ability to do whatever you want with it. Especially when you make a great use of IFTTT.
