How to integrate Front in automation workflow?

3 simple steps to make your Front connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.

How Front connects and integrates with WEXTL

Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever Front app is called in workflows. That allows your support automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that Front supports.

The following table illustrates what fields Front integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].

Demonstration of Front connection step inside WEXTL Workflow Builder [4].

FieldTypeHelp
Client IDRequired
text

Your OAuth app's Client ID. Find it in Front under Settings > Developers > your app (OAuth credentials).

Client SecretRequired
password

Your OAuth app's Client Secret, shown with the Client ID under Settings > Developers > your app. Keep it secret.

Connect Front to popular apps on WEXTL

Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Front below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Front. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.

Example automation with Front integration

Select Watch Teammate Tags trigger from Front - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Front, workflow will start [7] from Watch Teammate Tags node.

Search for Add Company Teammate Group Team Inboxes, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Teammate Tags and Add Company Teammate Group Team Inboxes, so only important data pass from Watch Teammate Tags to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Front automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].

Front on WEXTL has 276 modules for crafting support automations. Explore Front documentation for more.
