8x8 Integration

Extend 8x8 cloud phone service with an AI receptionist for medical calls

Pair your 8x8 business phone system with an AI receptionist to answer inbound calls, qualify patients, book appointments, and route urgent cases—all integrated with your phone tree.

How it pays back

Fewer Dropped Calls on 8x8

When call volume spikes, the AI answers the queue and qualifies callers while 8x8 routes the conversation. No more missed calls during peak hours or staff absences.

Seamless Phone Tree Replacement

Replace confusing IVR menus with natural conversation. Callers reach the right department or provider without pressing buttons; 8x8 routes them to the correct extension.

New Patient Intake Before the First Ring Back

The AI asks intake questions and documents responses. Your staff picks up a pre-qualified caller with a structured summary ready to review and file into your EMR.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI work with my existing 8x8 setup?

Yes. The AI receptionist integrates with 8x8 as an inbound call handler. Calls come into your 8x8 number, the AI answers and qualifies the caller, then routes them to your team or voicemail. Your 8x8 configuration stays the same.

Can I route calls to specific 8x8 extensions?

Yes. Configure routing rules by caller intent, department, or provider. The AI transfers qualified calls to the correct extension or team within your 8x8 setup.

How does new patient data flow into our EMR?

The AI captures name, date of birth, phone, email, and reason for visit on the call. This information is returned as a structured summary that your staff reviews and files into your EMR, completing any additional fields as needed.

What happens to after-hours calls on 8x8?

After hours, the AI answers your 8x8 line, collects urgent details, and flags emergencies for your on-call provider. Routine calls are logged as voicemails with structured notes for your team to follow up the next business day.

Do I need to replace my 8x8 system?

No. The AI receptionist works alongside your 8x8 phone system. It enhances your 8x8 setup by automating call intake and routing, without replacing your existing phone infrastructure.
