Customer Support
What the Front connector can do
Front is a shared inbox for email, SMS, and chat, organizing conversations, contacts, and tags across a support or sales team. A Front connection in type.com lets a Space bring that inbox context into a Claude thread, so the team can review conversations and discuss customer history alongside their other work.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Front
What can Claude see from Front in type.com?
Front's API covers conversations, messages, contacts, inboxes, tags, and analytics. Once a Front connection is shared with a Space, Claude can bring that conversation and customer context into a thread for the team to review together.
How does type.com authenticate with Front?
Front uses OAuth. A teammate signs in through Front's own login flow when the connection is created, and an admin then chooses which Spaces can use it.
Who on the team can use the Front connection?
Only the Spaces an admin shares the Front connection with can use it in threads, which keeps shared inbox data limited to the teams that need it.
Is this the same as an MCP server for Front?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
