Yeah, Agent Softphone looks promising, I'll need to do full testing before I'll call it a fundamental improvement on all counts.
The concept of the "full XCaaS" stack needs more cohesion from my experience so far.

Yeah it is just another workaround!
I'm hoping that when they integrate the WebRTC softphone into the agent workspace we might see some improvements around this...
But your suggestion would be much better as it would allow agents to work in both worlds

Yeah, but in my opinion this isn't foolproof enough.
We really just want to be able to enforce a setting to make the 8x8 Work Endpoint to behave in a controlled and expected way for VCC system calls.
e.g. 8x8 Work can only ring during offer timeout period or not (offline, busy), no call waiting, no voicemail transfer, no forward to anything from anywhere, deskphone or otherwise.

@Jonathan RE XR-4418
We've had to disable @work voicemail for all our agents to achieve this (might help):
When calls are rejected (From the VCC) they go back into the queue to be picked up by the next agent

A sample below of mine as well...
Jira | Subject | Description |
XR-2228 | Feature Request: VCC Audit Logs The VCC platform should have audit logs to allow us to stay in compliance. | |

XR-3974 | Script issues: Cannot use "Test Variable" in flow when it sits between Get Digit and Play or Say Objects. | |
XR-3969 | "Private" DIDs for internal routing instead of real DID's that are accessible from external by default. | |
CCSUP-63175,XR-4176 | Issue: UI Bug in Audio File Upload Feature on VCC when a notification or error message is showing. | There is a very frustrating bug in the UI on VCC CM when using the Audio File Upload Feature when a notification or error message is showing. |
XR-1996 | Increase range of values in Post Call Survey to between 0-10. | Issue/Impact - Align post call survey feature with industry standard for Net Promoter Score (NPS) range of responses which is 0-10 instead of PCS limit which is 1-9.

XR-2102 | Misc List of Feature Requests for VCC Configuration Manager. | 1.) Please allow Queues to be copied from an existing queue like a script can. 2.) Under Queue, Edit Voicemail , IVR, please allow "Voice Mail Delivery Message (Played to Agent)" audio file to be selected from main VCC audio files list. 3.) Include category tagging for queues 4.) For all tables, please allow direct editing of the fields rather than having to click into each line item. Maybe even a checkbox for each line to allow bulk changed, e.g. assign more than one user to a category simultaneously. 5.) Allow a template for each item to be copied over the top of existing items, giving the admin the option to keep items updated as per the template. 6.) Include a transcription section per audio file which is mandatory when uploading an audio file, to help identify wording contained within audio file. On PDF Export section of VCC Script Manager, include the above script wording in the export PDF so to fully understand the script contents / caller experience. |

We have a pretty indepth and repetitive IVR script. Transfer to Queue and in Queue Actions are repeated 15 times in one IVR Script, and we have 4 of these for different brands. This means that every time we change our Annoucement Recordings, I have to edit 4 scripts, 15 times each. SO MUCH FUN! To be fair, the same issue arrives with referencing a post call survey script. If you change the script, you have to edit every reference and hope you got them all right.
It would be much better if you could refer to a child script in your main script and just update the child.
For example, this is repeated for multiple brands -
