Shared Inbox Software Resources

Front can bring email, chat, and WhatsApp conversations into shared inboxes, then use routing rules to assign requests to the right team or agent. We use these capabilities to manage incoming requests, support handovers, and maintain accountability for follow-up. For an e-commerce team, a useful advanced workflow would be connecting order information to customer conversations so agents can see the relevant context when handling delivery questions, changes, or refunds. Automated assignment, templates, and reporting could also help teams manage high volumes while tracking response times and outstanding requests.

In our company, we maintain a series of automations in Freshdesk that facilitate the identification of each customer for each department and for each customer service agent.

We use Intercom's FIN to make the first contact with the client and it is making a big difference, both in engagement and resolution.
