Front is a flexible inbox that gives you all the capabilities you need to work together on email, operate faster, and have full visibility into your communication.

Reduce email overload

Front eliminates the bloat of email clogging up your team’s inboxes. It’s a flexible, multi-channel inbox that's easy to manage and makes your team organized and efficient.

Collaborate easily

Your team can discuss how to respond to challenging messages using email notes directly in the mailbox interface. Tag specific team members to get their input.

Own your email workflow

If you don't need to look at an email at the moment, snooze it to deal with later. Or set a reminder to follow up on a message on a particular date and time. 

Assign responsibility

Easily assign ownership for individual messages to specific teammates and track activity. When one person replies and archives an email, it reflects as replied to for everyone. The entire team will always know where things stand.
