RE: Fax setup for multiple users

hi Jeremy, Let me see if I can offer some help. Every X2 or higher comes with the fax capability, but does NOT include the phone number for the fax. It is possible to assign the inbound fax number to one user and have that fax be sent to multiple people (you can have more than one email address in the ...

hi Tom, That is the default behavior. But, I'm pretty sure that can be disabled on the back end. It would require reaching out to support to get a ticket opened.

yes, this use-case does some up from time-to-time. "How do I know who's setup their VM boxes, or not?" Unfortunately, there isn't a good report for this (yet) outside of professional services custom work. But, here's something that might help a little. It's not going to get you the exact information ...

RE: 8x8 IVR scripts with menu options - any samples with complex menu options to be shared?

"Get Digit" is the preferred object now. From what I've heard internally, "Menu" is being depreciated. It has to remain in the picklist because some legacy scripts still have it. Bascially "get digit" is an object you place just below a SAY or PLAY object. For example, if the PLAY object has an audio ...

hi Pat. Good to hear from you. An IT admin has less permissions and can't affect things like PBX, company info, recordings. They mostly only have reign over user info, call flow, features. Here's what an IT admin access looks like ------------------------------ Steve O'Neal Sr. Deployment ...

Not positive if this will get you what you want, but consider it a suggestion. What if you used the Analytics for CC --> Detailed reports --> Interactions.

hi Mark, I am currently working with a large customer who has many Chromebooks (over 700). They are able to use the web version on the Chromebook. And, I'm assuming on a Windows machine using the same network topology, the calls are OK?

hi David, the use-case you describe makes a lot of sense. Whereas I don't know where the roadmap is with allowing group VM msgs to appear in the Work App. There *might* be a feature that could help. You can contact support and ask them to enable "Group e-mail notification". With this feature enabled, ...

hi Warren, Part of the 8x8 high availability infrastructure is that all customer phone systems run both an Active and Backup. In the event that something becomes a problem on the ACTIVE system, an immediate failover to the BACKUP takes place. In some cases the data on the BACKUP may not be completely ...

Plantronics Savi 740. Lightweight and super range. Because it's DECT, I can walk all over the house while I'm on a call. I can even walk out to check the mailbox.

as far as pro-tips go, I'll add my 2cents. Having helped many people with implementations involving ATA's for paging. It's VERY helpful if you have quick access to an analog telephone set. Having an analog telephone handy when trying to test and troubleshoot can save a lot of aggravation. Doesn't ...

Generally, the answer is if it's not on the list of devices in the Admin Console (under Add device Model) , then it requires a custom solution (I didn't see it on the list). If it's only a few phones, in my opinion, totally not worth it. Now, if it's 100s of phones and you have a big investment, then ...
