  • 1.  Status and Call routing

    Posted 01-31-2025 09:49

    Hi All,
    We have just moved over to 8x8 and have a big issue with call routing and would like to know if this is expected behaviour.

    For us, it is doing the following for each status:

    Teams call                        - Goes to voicemail
    DND                                    - Goes to voicemail
    Busy                                   - Follows forwarding rule for when user does not answer
    Available                            - Follows forwarding rule for when user does not answer
    Away                                   - Follows forwarding rule for when user does not answer
    Appear offline                   - Follows forwarding rule for when user does not answer
    Decline call                        - Follows forwarding rule for when user does not answer immediately
    Log out and quit 8x8       - Follows forwarding rule for when user does not answer

    For clients, this not a great experience as the phone will ring and prolong a call being answered.  What we need is, the phone to only ring when "Available".  In all other scenarios, it should go straight to the next hop in forwarding rules.  That should be colleague or a call queue.

    I would appreciate if you have this experience and any ideas to help overcome this.

    Thanks

    Hi Vikash,

    Is this in relation to 8x8 Work only or also 8x8 VCC calls?

    Hi Jonathan, 

    We have 8x8 Work with our Reception team having X4 with front desk enabled. and several Call queues set up to deal with call when users are not available so it doesn't go voicemail during business hours.  Our users are a mixture or Desktop App, Web App and Phone App.

    Thanks

    Vikash
