Customer
“Hey — my Slack agent stopped firing after I rotated the workspace token yesterday. Anything I need to do on my end?”
Agent draft · in your tone
Hi Lara — totally normal, the new token needs a quick re-auth. I've sent a one-click reconnect link to your DeskFerry inbox; once you tap it the agent will pick up where it left off (no re-training needed).
How does Front work for Chat Support automation?
Front works for Chat Support automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to Front alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for Chat Support, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Answer live @Intercom chats using @Front in our brand voice
AI handles common questions immediately, reducing wait times to zero for routine inquiries.
- 03
Escalate the rest with full context to @Zendesk
Teams typically see instant around the clock once the agent is in production.
- 04
You approve
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

Human in the loop
Approve before it sends.
Every draft lands in a review queue. You approve, edit, or reject — the agent never acts on its own unless you explicitly turn that on for a workflow you trust.
Governance
Every action, with the reasoning attached.
Each step the agent takes is logged with what it did, why it did it, and which app it touched. Audit-ready, so security and compliance can sign off without backfilling.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does Front data stay secure during Chat Support automation?
All data exchanged between Front and DeskFerry during Chat Support processing is encrypted in transit and at rest. We use OAuth tokens for Front access, never store raw credentials, and maintain full audit logs of every Chat Support action.
How long does it take to set up Chat Support automation with Front?
Most users connect Front and launch their first Chat Support automation within 10 minutes. The guided wizard handles OAuth authorization, and you configure Chat Support-specific rules through a visual no-code builder.
Can I customize which Front events trigger Chat Support actions?
Yes. You define exactly which Front events start Chat Support workflows — new records, status changes, messages, or custom triggers. Each trigger can have conditions so Chat Support actions only fire when your specific criteria are met in Front.
How does AI-powered Chat Support via Front compare to manual processing?
Manual Chat Support in Front requires constant tab-switching, copy-pasting, and follow-up tracking. DeskFerry eliminates this by handling Chat Support tasks in real-time as Front events occur — running 24/7 with consistent accuracy and zero fatigue.
How does DeskFerry automate Chat Support directly inside Front?
DeskFerry connects natively with Front to handle the full Chat Support workflow. The AI agent monitors Front events, processes Chat Support tasks automatically, and writes results back to Front — no copy-pasting or tab-switching required.
