Smart Rules

Smart rules is one of the most powerful and customizable tools within Front; made possible through text manipulation, dynamic variables, and data extraction. Instead of numerous static, hardcoded rules; Smart Rules allow you to use dynamic variables that intelligently adjust to the factors of the conversation that triggered the rule and can even give a dynamic output that would otherwise require a human to analyze. Read on to learn how to save time for your team and scale your workflows.

• A Smart Rule is similar in structure to a normal rule and is also built into Front's rule engine.

• Smart Rules are unique in that they have dynamic variables you can build out within the rule editor, to achieve automations not possible with regular rules.

• The dynamic variable itself will consist of as many steps as you need to build the path to obtaining, transforming, and manipulating the output you want.

• Once you save the dynamic variable, it will show as an option to be used in the rule condition or action.

Here is a list of guides to help you understand and implement Smart Rules.
