Set it up

About two minutes, once per project or once for the whole workspace.

  1. Open Integrations in the builder

    Backend panel, Integrations tab, then Front. To connect it for every project, use Workspace settings, Integrations.

  2. Add your credentials

    An API key (or token) from your Front account, pasted once. It is stored encrypted and only read on the server when an action runs.

    • API key From Front's settings
  3. Call an action

    From a workflow, by integration id and action name. The call answers with success, output and, when it fails, the reason.

    Workflow
    // .workflow.js (native ctx)
export async function run(ctx) {
  const res = await ctx.integrations.invoke("front", "findConversation", {
    "q": "<query>"
  });
  if (!res.success) throw new Error(res.error);
  ctx.log.info("Front answered", { output: res.output });
}
