Front

Last updated on Sep 03, 2024

Front is a customer communication hub that connects all communication channels such as email, SMS, WhatsApp, social media, and live chat to your team’s inbox. Front also allows you to share knowledge and collaborate in real-time on critical customer messages to provide the best response possible.

Hevo uses Front’s Core API to replicate the data present in your Front account to the desired Destination database or data warehouse for scalable analysis.


Limitations

Hevo treats a parent and its child objects differently. This section lists the parent objects along with their child objects, and the differences in how you can manage these objects.

  • If you skip a parent object, its child objects are also skipped.

  • If you skip a parent object, it is marked as skipped, but its child objects are still shown as active.

  • You only have the option to skip or include child objects, whereas for parent objects, you have additional options such as changing the offset, restarting the object, or running it now.
