What happens when a match is found

If a single matching record is found, it opens in a new browser tab or window. You can review the contact details and prepare for the call.

This feature is called a screen pop.

When does a screen pop occur

  • Inbound calls
  • Outbound calls

Possible screen pop results

Depending on the search results, you may see:

  • Single matching record: One matching record is found and it opens automatically.
  • Multiple matching records: There are multiple matching records found. You must select the correct record from the list. By default, the call log is linked to the first record in the list. See How to select another record.
  • No matching records: No screen pop appears if no match is found.

How to select another record

You can match a call to a different record when the current record is not the correct match, or when multiple matching records are available.

To match a call to a different record:

  1. During a call, click Select another record from the 8x8 Work for Salesforce integration.
  2. Search for and select a different record.
    -OR-
    If multiple records match the caller, select the correct record from the list to associate it with the call. By default, the first record in the list is associated with the call.
  3. Click x to exit the matching records list.
