Update live (dynamic) campaigns
In 8x8 Contact Center, Dynamic Campaigns allow administrators to add or remove records from an active campaign via campaign API. Prior to this release you could not add or remove records from a campaign after it started running. This supports integrated lead capturing systems which feed new prospects into the corresponding campaign in real time so they can be dialed within five minutes. Removing a campaign record does not delete it from the list but keeps the record for future reports.
For API configuration details, see our support article on how to configure 8x8 Contact Center dynamic campaign API.
