front-integrations

Front platform integrations for Sea Haven Industries. Two scheduled Lambdas deployed to seahaven-prod via HCP Terraform workspace front-integrations-prod (PLAT-72).
- SLA Monitor — checks Front conversations for SLA breaches and sends tiered Slack alerts
- User Sync — pulls Google Workspace user profiles and syncs job title + phone to Front teammate custom fields

SLA Rules
| Tier |
Threshold |
Action |
| 1 |
1 business hour without reply |
Slack DM the assignee, or post to #front-sla-alerts if unassigned |
| 2 |
1 business day without reply |
Slack DM Adam |
Business time counts weekday hours only (Mon-Fri, Eastern time). Alerts are only sent during business hours (8 AM-5 PM ET). Overnight breaches produce a single morning summary.

AWS Resources
- Account / region: seahaven-prod
011934824531, us-east-1
- IaC: Terraform under
terraform/ (HCP remote apply, Manual until sealed)
- Lambda:
front-sla-monitor — Python 3.12, arm64, 256 MB, 300s timeout, 60-day log retention
- Lambda:
front-user-sync — Python 3.12, arm64, 256 MB, 300s timeout, 60-day log retention
- DynamoDB:
front-sla-alerts — alert history per conversation + monitor state, 7-day TTL
- EventBridge: SLA check every 15 min during business hours; user sync daily at 6 AM ET weekdays
- IAM: Execution roles under path
/tf-managed/ with seahaven-lambda-execution-boundary
- Secrets: ARNs as Terraform variables; values never in state
Monitoring
CloudWatch alarms publish to the shared site-alerts SNS topic in seahaven-prod. All alarms are ALARM-only (no OK/recovery notification) and treat missing data as notBreaching.
| Alarm |
Metric |
Trigger |
front-sla-monitor-errors |
Lambda Errors (Sum) |
Any invocation error in a 5-min window |
front-sla-monitor-throttles |
Lambda Throttles (Sum) |
Any throttled invocation in a 5-min window |
front-sla-monitor-duration |
Lambda Duration (Max) |
Run exceeds 270s (90% of the 300s timeout) |
front-user-sync-errors |
Lambda Errors (Sum) |
Any invocation error in a 5-min window |

front-sla-alerts-read-throttle |
DynamoDB ReadThrottleEvents (Sum) |
Any read throttle on the table |
front-sla-alerts-write-throttle |
DynamoDB WriteThrottleEvents (Sum) |
Any write throttle on the table |
Secrets (Secrets Manager)
| Secret |
Purpose |
front-integrations/front-api-token |
Front API token (shared by both Lambdas) |
front-integrations/slack-bot-token |
Slack Bot User OAuth Token for SLA alerts |
front-integrations/google-service-account |
Google Cloud service account JSON key |
Documentation
The canonical map of Sea Haven's AWS infrastructure lives in Confluence. This project's front-integrations stack is represented there as a Mermaid subgraph.
Setup
1. Create the Slack App
- Go to https://api.slack.com/apps and create Front SLA Monitor (see
slack-app-manifest.yaml)
- Add Bot Token Scopes:
chat:write, users:read, users:read.email
- Install to workspace, copy Bot User OAuth Token
- Create
#front-sla-alerts channel and invite the bot
2. Create a Front API Token
- Front > Settings > Developers > API tokens
- Create a token with conversation read + teammate read/write scope
3. Set Up Google Workspace Service Account
- Enable Admin SDK API in Google Cloud Console
- Create service account
front-directory-sync, create JSON key
- Enable Domain-Wide Delegation, copy Client ID
- In Google Workspace Admin: Security > API Controls > Domain-Wide Delegation
- Add Client ID with scope:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user.readonly
4. Create Custom Fields in Front
- Settings > Custom Fields > Teammates tab
- Create: Job Title (String) and Phone (String)
5. Store Secrets in seahaven-prod
Create secrets in seahaven-prod (exact ARNs are wired into the Lambda boundary and Terraform variables). Strip trailing newlines before put-secret-value.
aws secretsmanager create-secret \
--name "front-integrations/front-api-token" \
--secret-string "YOUR_FRONT_API_TOKEN" \
--region us-east-1 --profile seahaven-prod
aws secretsmanager create-secret \
--name "front-integrations/slack-bot-token" \
--secret-string "xoxb-YOUR-SLACK-BOT-TOKEN" \
--region us-east-1 --profile seahaven-prod
aws secretsmanager create-secret \
--name "front-integrations/google-service-account" \
--secret-string file://path-to-service-account-key.json \
--region us-east-1 --profile seahaven-prod
6. Deploy
- Set workspace variables in HCP (
front-integrations-prod) from terraform/terraform.tfvars.example.
- Keep
schedules_enabled=false until DynamoDB row copy and cutover.
- Apply from the HCP workspace (Manual apply until the stack is sealed). Do not use local
terraform apply against prod.
