How to connect Slack and Front
Create a New Scenario to Connect Slack and Front
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Slack, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Slack or Front will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Slack or Front, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Slack Node
Select the Slack node from the app selection panel on the right.

Authenticate Front
Now, click the Front node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Front settings. Authentication allows you to use Front through Latenode.
Configure the Slack and Front Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Slack and Front Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Slack, Front, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Slack and Front integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Slack and Front (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Slack and Front
Slack + Front + Google Sheets: Track new support requests from Slack and Front in a Google Sheet for performance analysis. When a new message is posted in a Slack channel, its content is added as a row to a Google Sheet. Similarly, when a new event (presumably a conversation) occurs in Front, its details are also added as a row in the same Google Sheet.
Front + Jira + Slack: Create Jira issues from Front conversations and notify the team in Slack. When a new event occurs in Front, a new issue is created in Jira. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel with the details of the newly created Jira issue.
