How do I send a Front message?
Short answer: You can send front message in Front by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Front Send Front Message action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.

Channel ID channelId | string | Required | Channel ID |
To to | Required | To | |
Subject subject | string | Required | Message subject line. |
Body body | html | Required | Message body content. Plain text unless the API specifies HTML/markdown. |
Sample request
{"channelId": "{{trigger.channelId}}","to": "{{trigger.from}}","subject": "e.g. Quick update","body": "e.g. Hi there, thanks for reaching out."}
Returns
{"id": "msg_123","type": "email","subject": "Hello","created_at": 1712835600}

FAQ
Questions about Send Front Message.
What does the Send Front Message action do in Front?
Posts a reply on a Front conversation. For new conversations on the same channel as previous interactions, Front routes via the existing channel automatically.
What inputs does Send Front Message require?
Required: Channel ID, To, Subject, Body. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Front returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Front returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Send Front Message support batch operations?
Run Send Front Message inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Front's rate limits.
