Front

This connector captures data from Front into Flow collections.

It is available for use in the Flow web application. For local development or open-source workflows, ghcr.io/estuary/source-front:dev provides the latest version of the connector as a Docker image. You can also follow the link in your browser to see past image versions.

Supported data resources

The following data resources are supported through the Front API:

• channels
• contacts
• conversations
• events
• inboxes
• tags
• teammates
• teams

By default, each resource is mapped to a Flow collection through a separate binding.

Prerequisites

• A Front API token with the appropriate scope(s).

Configuration

You configure connectors either in the Flow web app, or by directly editing the catalog specification files. See connectors to learn more about using connectors. The values and specification sample below provide configuration details specific to the Front source connector.
