Frontline guide

Frontline replies to routine support emails from your own support inbox and sends risky conversations to your team.

1. First setup

  • Add your company name.
  • Add the support inbox Frontline should handle, such as support@yourcompany.com.
  • Add the email where escalations and suggested replies should go.

2. Connect your sending mailbox

  • Use Google for Gmail or Google Workspace.
  • Use Microsoft for Outlook or Microsoft 365.
  • Use Other email provider if your inbox uses SMTP.
  • Frontline will not send replies until a sending mailbox is connected.

3. Upload support docs

  • Upload FAQs, policies, product notes, troubleshooting notes, and saved answers.
  • Frontline organizes the docs into answers it can use in replies.
  • Choose Update answers after upload so Frontline uses the latest files.

4. Set escalation rules

  • Choose topics that need a person, such as refunds, billing, bugs, legal, or sensitive conversations.
  • Add keywords for anything Frontline should never auto-answer.
  • Keep suggested replies on if you want Frontline to draft a response for escalations.

5. Turn on auto replies

  • Keep auto replies paused until your mailbox is connected and your docs are ready.
  • When ready, turn on auto replies from the dashboard.
  • Use Check status after changing settings.

6. Review activity

  • Processed shows support emails Frontline reviewed.
  • Auto-sent shows replies Frontline sent automatically.
  • Escalated shows messages sent to your team for review.
  • Not sent shows messages Frontline blocked from auto-sending.
