Integration Overview
Today’s customers expect fast, personalized responses—especially on social media. But when mentions go unnoticed or replies are delayed, it doesn’t just cost leads, it chips away at brand reputation.
8x8 and Meltwater bring social media directly into the customer experience spotlight. With this integration, every @mention, DM, or hashtag becomes an opportunity to listen, engage, and act with best-in-class social listening. Social messages are intelligently filtered and routed into existing agent queues, just like voice calls, chats, and emails. No additional tools. No workflow changes. Just scalable, real-time engagement across every channel customers use today.
Meltwater is embedded directly in the 8x8 Contact Center™, offering agents a unified omnichannel workspace, empowering them to reach back in the moment and deliver responses that feel personal, proactive, and perfectly timed.
