# Overview: 8x8 Contact Center for ServiceNow

**8x8 Contact Center for ServiceNow** integration brings your enterprise phone communications directly into your **ServiceNow** dashboard. You can interact with your customers via phone, email, or chat from your **ServiceNow** implementation without having to switch to another communications or messaging app.

When you receive an inbound call, the integration is able to determine if the caller is an existing **ServiceNow** user by searching your **ServiceNow** database. If a match is found, the corresponding caller record pops up on your screen enabling you to reference historical information during your telephone conversation. Incoming customer chat messages also feature this same type of functionality.

When you place an outbound call, an existing user match in the **ServiceNow** database is displayed. You can reference historical information about your interactions with the call recipient in order to better inform your conversation.

The **ServiceNow** Incident Report (or call log) enables you to input all the important notes and information which you have gathered during your communications with the user. By integrating with **ServiceNow**, you can use **8x8 Contact Center** call or chat features.
