Agent Workspace: Change Your Workplace Number

Objective

8x8 Contact Center allows you to use a hard phone, a cell phone, or a softphone to process contact center interactions. The use of a hard phone requires a phone number, while the use of a softphone requires a SIP URL. Your administrator specifies this information when setting up your account and determines if you can change this information in your agent profile. The Workplace Phone identifies the phone number you use to process Contact Center phone interactions. The Workplace SIP URL identifies your softphone. Based on the configuration of your account, you may be able to edit your phone number and the SIP URL.
