Set up CRM Integration Profiles

Prev Next

CRM Integration Profiles are a powerful tool that lets you easily personalize and fine-tune your 8x8 Work and 8x8 Contact Center CRM Integration. With CRM Integration Profiles, you gain full control over your integration workflows and experiences, allowing you to seamlessly adapt the 8x8 integration to meet your unique business requirements. Customize and configure your 8x8 integration with ease, making it a perfect fit for your organization's needs.

To access CRM Integration Profiles:

  1. Log in to your 8x8 admin account.

  2. From My Applications page, click the Admin Console tile. The page launches in a new browser tab.

  3. From the Home page, select CRM Integration Profiles.

Requirements

  • Admin access to 8x8 Admin Console.

Limitations

  • CRM Integration Profiles is currently not supported for customers with an 8x8 professional service remix or shareable remix.

  • The CRM Integration Profiles settings do not impact users handling email interactions. Voice, SMS, Live Chat, and WhatsApp are supported for all applicable CRMs. WhatsApp and SMS are only available for the integrations with Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics.

  • When enabled, no existing user settings will change state. The introduction of new settings will be in the default state.

Supported CRMs

The CRM Integration Profiles supports the following CRMs:

  • 8x8 Contact Center for Salesforce

  • 8x8 Work for Salesforce

  • 8x8 Contact Center for Microsoft Dynamics

  • 8x8 Work for Microsoft Dynamics

  • 8x8 Work for Zendesk

  • 8x8 Contact Center for NetSuite

  • 8x8 Work for NetSuite

  • 8x8 Contact Center for Zoho

  • 8x8 Work for Zoho

Integration profile types

The CRM Integration Profiles page displays two profile types: default and custom.

Each supported CRM comes with a default profile. Supported default profiles can be edited but not deleted and display the label Default in the Profile type section.  When no custom profile is assigned to a user, when they sign into a CRM they will inherit the default settings.

Custom profiles can be edited and deleted. When an agent is assigned to a custom profile that has been deleted, the agent is automatically assigned to a default profile.

To create a new custom profile:

  1. Log in to 8x8 Admin Console using your admin credentials.

  2. From the Home page, select CRM Integration Profiles.

  3. Click Create profile from the top-right corner of the screen.

  4. Add a unique profile name. You can use numbers, letters, and special characters.

    Note:

    The maximum character limit is 50 and the minimum is one. You cannot have multiple profiles with the same name.

  5. Select a Profile type from the list of available CRMs.

  6. Click Create integration profile from the bottom-right side of the screen.
    The custom profile page is created and indicates that no users are associated with it.

  7. Click Assign users.

  8. In the dialog that displays, search for users by name or select them from the list.

  9. Click Next from the bottom of the dialog.

  10. Click Assign users to confirm you are assigning the users to the profile. The Users tab is populated with the agents you assigned to the profile.

Users can be assigned to only one profile (both custom and default) of the same profile type. For example, user A can only be assigned to one Salesforce profile.

Users must refresh their 8x8 integration to inherit the profile settings they have been assigned to.

To assign users to an existing profile:

  1. From the Home page in 8x8 Admin Console, select CRM Integration Profiles.

  4. In the dialog that displays, search for users by name or select them from the list.

  5. Click Next from the bottom of the dialog.

  6. Click Assign users to confirm you are assigning the users to the profile. The Users tab is populated with the agents you assigned to the profile.

Users can be assigned to only one profile (both custom and default) of the same profile type. For example, user A can only be assigned to one Salesforce profile.

Users must refresh their 8x8 integration to inherit the profile settings they have been assigned to.

To remove users from a profile:

  1. From the Home page in 8x8 Admin Console, select CRM Integration Profiles.

  2. Hover over a profile, and click the Users icon.

  3. Click  next to the user you wish to remove. You can only remove one user at a time.

Only custom profiles can be deleted.

FAQs

What happens if users are not assigned to a profile?

Users who are not assigned to either a default or a custom profile will automatically inherit the settings of the default profile for the given CRM.

How many profiles can I create?

You may create as many profiles as you require. There will only be one default profile per CRM type, e.g. Salesforce.

Can I edit or delete profiles?

Custom profiles may be edited and deleted. Default profiles cannot be deleted but may be edited.

Can users be assigned to more than one profile?

Users can be assigned to only one profile (both custom and default) of the same profile type. For example, user A can only be assigned to one Salesforce profile.

Users must refresh their 8x8 integration to inherit the profile settings they have been assigned to.

Users can be assigned to multiple profiles of different types. For example, user A can be assigned to one Salesforce and one Microsoft Dynamics profile.
