Overview: 8x8 Work for ServiceNow

The 8x8 Work for ServiceNow integration brings your enterprise phone communications directly into your ServiceNow dashboard. You can interact with your customers via phone without having to switch to another calling app.

When you receive an inbound call, the integration is able to determine if the caller is an existing ServiceNow user by searching your ServiceNow database. If a match is found, the corresponding record about the caller pops up on your screen enabling you to reference historical information during your telephone conversation.

When you place an outbound call, an existing user match in the ServiceNow database is displayed. You can reference historical information about your interactions with the call recipient in order to better inform your conversation.

The ServiceNow Incident Report (or call log) enables you to input all the important notes and information which you have gathered during your conversation with the user. By integrating with ServiceNow, you can use 8x8 Work call control and recording features, as well as voicemail and chat.
