When you receive a call in the 8x8 Work for Mobile app, a notification appears as a banner, which displays the name of the call queue and prompts you to accept or decline the call. You can:

• Answer the call and see the caller’s phone number and the name of the call queue.

• Decline the call and this one goes back to the queue for the next available 8x8 XF Workspace user.
  

  Notes:
  - If you reject or miss the call, the call goes back to the queue, and you are put back to Available status after 10 seconds.
  - While waiting in the queue, a callback option may be offered to the customer if configured by the admin can offer a callback to the customer.
  - If no agents are available to answer the call, a warning displays to caller.

Customer engagement specialists can pause or resume their Contact Center (CC) queues in 8x8 XF Workspace and 8x8 Engage whenever necessary. When your queues are paused, customers will not receive any queue calls and cannot take any action on the queues.

To pause/resume CC queues for engagement specialists - XF Worspace and Engage:

1. Log in to 8x8 Work for Mobile.

2. Swipe up or tap My Queues at the bottom of the main screen.

3. On the My Queues screen, click Pause queues , click Break (for iOS only)and select a reason: Work offline or Break.

4. Optional: Click near the selected reason for pause and choose another one if necessary.

5. Your queues are currently disabled, and you cannot act on them. You will only receive calls once you resume them. A timer in the screen's upper-right corner shows the paused time until the queues are resumed.

   Note: When the My Queues section is collapsed, the counter still displays on the right side of the My Queues section.
   

6. Click Resume queues to enable your queues and start receiving calls again.

   When you resume the queues, the counter will no longer be displayed. Your queues are enabled, and you can receive calls again or search for, enable, or disable queues.

While in a queued call, you can transfer the call to another extension or an external phone number. You can choose warm transfer or cold transfer. With warm transfer, you announce the call to the person you are transferring the call to. With a cold transfer, you send the call directly to the extension without announcing it.
