# Front

*Last updated: May 6, 2026*

Connect Front to let Aissist work inside shared inbox workflows.

With Front, Aissist can:

* draft or send replies
* apply tags
* create summaries
* detect when human follow-up is needed

### Create the Front gateway

1. Go to **Deploy → Gateways**.
2. Click **Add Gateway**.
3. Choose **Front**.
4. Follow the setup steps to authorize the connection.

### How Front routing works

Front gateways use **inboxes** as the managing point.

This lets you control exactly which inboxes Aissist should handle.

{% hint style="info" %}
Start with one shared inbox or one narrow workflow before expanding to broader coverage.
{% endhint %}

See [Deploy Gateway](/tutorial/deploy-gateway.md) for managing point setup.

### Choose the operating mode

During setup, choose the operating mode:

* **Auto-Pilot** — Aissist replies automatically
* **Co-Pilot** — available in Front for on-demand help inside the agent UI

Start with one narrow workflow.

Run **Auto-Pilot** for a short period, review the results, optimize Aissist, then gradually increase **Auto-Pilot** time.

### How Aissist works in Front

Aissist can support the Front workflow in several ways.

#### Reply

Aissist generates context-aware replies using your instructions, assets, and actions.

#### Tag

Aissist can apply tags automatically to organize conversations and trigger routing rules.

#### Summary and handoff

Aissist can summarize the conversation and detect when a human should take over.

### Co-Pilot in Front

Co-Pilot is installed automatically when you create the Front gateway.

If you do not see it:

1. Open any conversation in Front.
2. Click **Manage** in the right panel.
3. Pin the **Aissist** plugin.

### Best practice

Start with one inbox and one repeatable workflow.

Run **Auto-Pilot** for a short period, review the results, optimize Aissist, then gradually increase **Auto-Pilot** time.
