Additional Information

We encourage you to use 8x8 Work for Desktop or Work for Mobile when it comes to importing your third-party contacts (see  Import Outlook Contacts in 8x8 Work for Desktop). However, when it comes to physical Poly devices, you will have to use this manual workflow in order to import contacts to your desk phone.
