Set up Switchboard Pro

8x8 offers Switchboard Pro, a web-based application that gives a graphical overview of all incoming calls to help you manage your phone system. Once you assign Switchboard Pro to a user profile, a receptionist or switchboard operator can route callers to the desired destination right from the desktop.

Switchboard Pro is an optional feature that can be purchased separately.
