Front Quickstart Guide
Welcome to Front! If you are thinking about signing up to trial Front, or already have, here's the guide to getting started!

2️⃣ Set up your team workspace
The first person to start a trial for your company is the default company admin, who can then set up the team workspace (or invite more teammates to help). Admins can grant access to team inboxes to all or a subset of teammates on the team. Here's how to set up your team workspace:
- Plan your inbox structure
- Understand the difference between inbox vs. channel
- Add your team inboxes (see the different setup guides for each channel type)
- Optimize your email deliverability (only for email forwarding/redirecting like Exchange, Google Groups or Office 365 Distribution Lists/Groups)
- Set up integrations
- Create Teams (if this is included in your plan)
- ...and more
Note: It is not possible to combine multiple Front instances. Front accounts from company A, cannot be merged with Company B.
3️⃣ Invite your teammates
Admins can invite teammates at any time, and having teammates is one of the best parts about Front! Here is how to add and manage them:
