#### **How Dialpad Integrates with this App:**

## How to Setup

3. Click **Inboxes** in the left menu and create a new [shared inbox](https://help.front.com/en/articles/2057).
4. Click **Channels** in the left menu, then click the **Connect a channel**button. Navigate to the **Voice by Dialpad**option or **SMS by Dialpad**option, then click **Connect**. Click the **Connect to Dialpad** button on the next screen.
5. A pop-up will open prompting you to sign in with your Dialpad account. Make sure the email address in the **Work email** field matches the email address you use to log into Front. Click L**og in to Dialpad** to continue.
6. Click **Allow**on the Access Approval page. The pop-up will automatically close.
7. Using the dropdown, select the phone number you want to connect to your Front inbox. Click **Continue**.
