# Configure Click-to-Call: 8x8 Contact Center for ServiceNow

Click-to-call enables you to click phone numbers within user records and initiate calls via the 8x8 app.

You can set up click-to-call either from a [**ServiceNow** user page](/documentation/docs/configure-click-to-call-8x8-contact-center-for-servicenow#configure-clicktocall-from-a-users-profile-page), or from an [incident page](/documentation/docs/configure-click-to-call-8x8-contact-center-for-servicenow#configure-clicktocall-from-an-incident-page).

> [!NOTE]
> Note:
> 
> For click-to-call setup, there are two different scripts:
> 
> - click2calluser( )configuration for setup from a user profile page
> - click2call( )configuration for setup from an incident page
