Cause
If the 8x8 Contact Center Interaction Offer Timeout is longer than 8x8 Work setting then 8x8 Work receives the call over voicemail. This then causes the call records to show voicemail calls for the agent's extension coming from Forwarded (Busy).
One of the following may also be true:
- Agent is not assigned to any 8x8 Contact Center voicemail channels.
- Agent does not have voicemail enabled in their agent profile.
- Inbound queue the agent is assigned to do not have voicemail enabled.
- Agent is not assigned to any outbound queues.
- Agents 8x8 Contact Center Interaction Offer Timeout is 30 seconds.
- Agent is not part of any Ring Groups, or Call Queues in 8x8 Work for Desktop.
- Agent hangs up a VCC call using 8x8 Work.
- The voicemails are from the Contact Center inbound phone channel number.
- The 8x8 Work for Desktop Call Forward time out is 35 seconds.
