8x8 Contact Center's browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) used by Agents to manage customer interactions. requires access to Local CRM. If your 8x8 AgentAgents use the Agent Console to view and manage customer interactions. Virtual Contact Center supports Regular agents and Supervisor agents.

- If the From field of the message contains the email address of an existing customer, the relevant customer record pops up, and the incoming email is saved as a new case for the customer.
- If the subject of the email bears a valid case ID from the Local CRM, the customer record pops up, and the incoming email is saved as a follow-up of the relevant case.
- In the absence of matching data, a new customer and case record are created.
