6. Click on the chat button at the top right.
7. Go to the **Live Following** panel at the bottom.
8. Enter the phone number you are going to call from
  - You must use **E164** format, or **+[country code][full number]**, as shown in the example below.
9. Click the **Start Live Following** button.![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/25302?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-03T22%3A41%3A31Z&se=2026-11-03T23%3A41%3A31Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=GevFI7DB2%2FrVCcHhAo%2F0QGIQwZYg%2Bub8guGuTrgm2PM%3D)
10. Make a phone call from the number you entered to your 8x8 Channel number that is pointing to Cognigy.
11. The Cognigy Platform will now show if the call reached the chatbot from the Voice Gateway and also what route it took through their chatbot flow.
  - If nothing appears when making the call, then it did not reach the chatbot.
  - If the call reached the chatbot but you are still experiencing call termination issues, the cause is likely within the chatbot flow.![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/25305?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-03T22%3A41%3A31Z&se=2026-11-03T23%3A41%3A31Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=GevFI7DB2%2FrVCcHhAo%2F0QGIQwZYg%2Bub8guGuTrgm2PM%3D)

## Additional Information

If you click on the **Info** tab you will see further details of the call, such as the 8x8 Tenant ID, Channel Number, Call ID, Originating Carrier, and the Application the Voice Gateway used to forward the call.
