Overview: 8x8 Work for Microsoft Dynamics
8x8 Work for Microsoft Dynamics brings calling capabilities directly into your Microsoft Dynamics workspace. The application launches within Microsoft Dynamics and enables you to place and receive calls using an integrated dialer.
When you receive an inbound call, the application searches your Microsoft Dynamics accounts and contacts to identify the caller. If a match is found, the system displays the corresponding record, allowing you to review customer details before answering the call.
With real-time access to caller information, you can understand previous interactions and respond more effectively.
