Integrate with Front

Before you begin

• You need to have your Front API token. See Create Front API token.

Use an in-app Next Matter widget for Front

You can see and work with Next Matter workflows from within Front.

Features:

• The list of instances is sorted by started date and filtered by the conversation ID as a tag
• If you start an instance in the conversation view, this instance is automatically tagged and linked to this converstation enabling searching and tracking. At any moment, you can unlink the instance (if you have permissions to modify the instance).
• If you want to sort through the list of all available workflows click Start left of Instance Overview.

To add the widget, do the following:

1. Log in to https://app.frontapp.com and click Settings (top right).
2. Open Company and click App Store.
3. Search for Next Matter.
4. Click Enable app.

Your app will now be available in the right-hand sidebar of your inbox. Click the Next Matter logo to open the app.

• organization admin
• workflow lead
• instance lead
