How to enable and use Grammarly suggestions
Edited

⚠️ Grammarly has notified us that they plan to deprecate the SDK that this integration relies on. However, they are working to ensure that Grammarly’s desktop app will work in Front’s desktop app to enable access to Grammarly in Front. The details and timing of this work are subject to change as it relies on the Grammarly team, but we will provide updates. As always, you can use Grammarly via their desktop app or browser extension if you access Front via browser.

Overview

We are pleased to offer Grammarly suggestions for spelling, punctuation, and grammar correction directly within Front for our web and desktop apps.

Grammarly's comprehensive communication assistance helps 30 million people and 50,000 professional teams worldwide strengthen their writing. Its AI-powered suggestions help people write with confidence and businesses achieve better results by providing feedback on their writing.

With Front's Grammarly integration, empower your team with clear, effective, and mistake-free writing as you compose messages and comments within Front. There are two different integration versions available, depending on which Front plan your team is on.


How it works

All Front plans

All Front customers who have enabled Grammarly within Front will receive unlimited, real-time, AI-powered writing suggestions to improve spelling, punctuation, and grammar right in Front. Grammarly will underline words or phrases to indicate spelling or grammar suggestions. Hover over an underlined word in order to see the recommendation and accept or decline it.

Front Scale plan or above

In addition to Grammarly’s spelling, punctuation, and grammar suggestions, Scale or above customers can take advantage of advanced writing suggestions for clarity, engagement, delivery, and tone detection for one year, at no cost. After one year, Scale or above customers can continue using Grammarly’s writing suggestions for spelling, punctuation and grammar directly within Front. Customers can choose to upgrade directly with Grammarly if they wish to continue access to their advanced suggestions.

Grammarly advanced suggestions:

  • Clarity - Make every sentence concise and easy to follow with suggestions to remove unnecessary words, full-sentence rewrites, and formatting recommendations

  • Engagement - Find vivid words to enliven each and every message
