In this guide, you’ll learn how to use the Front integration with CloudTalk. The integration gives you instant access to customer details and ticket history, allowing you to handle calls and manage communication directly from Front.
Calling from Front
Make outbound calls
After installing the CloudTalk CTI, you can make outbound calls directly from Front using the CloudTalk dialer in the sidebar. You can manually dial numbers or initiate calls using contact details stored in Front. During the call, you will have access to the customer’s information and call controls directly within the CTI, helping you manage conversations more efficiently.
Receive inbound calls
When receiving an inbound call, the CloudTalk CTI displays the caller’s customer card in real time. This allows agents to immediately see relevant contact details and call history while handling the call. The customer card includes:- Contact details (name, email, phone number, company, address, website)
- Call history and recordings
- Notes and comments
- Related Front tickets and conversations
Call logging and data exchange
Contact Sync
CloudTalk and Front support two-way contact synchronization.- When a contact is created or updated in Front, the changes are automatically reflected in CloudTalk
- When a contact is created or updated in CloudTalk, it is synced to Front
Note: Front conversations are not imported into CloudTalk contacts. Only call-related data is synced to CloudTalk.
Call Logging & Export
CloudTalk automatically logs each call as a ticket (message) in Front. These records are created in the inbox selected during setup. Each logged call includes the following mapped details:
Call types are reflected in the message subject, for example:
- Outbound call (completed)
- Outbound call (unanswered)
- Inbound call (completed)
- Missed call
- Voicemail
Missed Call Assignment
Missed calls are logged in the Assigned section of your Front inbox. Each call is assigned to the agent who made or received it. From there, calls can be reassigned to another agent if needed. Call details include:- Call date
- Waiting time
- Assigned agent
