Using the app switcher

Overview

One of the best parts of Front is that it integrates with your favorite tools for easy access to customer data and other apps from your inbox.

You can easily open your favorite apps and toggle between them in the app switcher, which is always visible on the right side of Front.


Open and close apps

The app switcher is the vertical sidebar on the right edge of your Front inbox. You will see a list of icons that represent each app you have pinned.

To use an app, click on its icon to open the panel. Simply click the icon again to collapse the panel. You can also quickly switch between apps by clicking on their icons while the panel is open.

To quickly switch between integrations, use the keyboard shortcut Cmd + Shift + arrows (for Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + arrows (for Windows).
