  1. Alllow incoming calls to be connected automatically depending on contacts. If the system recognized my contact, it should directly connect to my number. If not, it should connect to my desire queue. If Ringcentral recognizes the caller phone number to be within my current contacts, then I need the phone directed to my assistant. If Ringcentral does not recognize the number, I need the call directed to my intake team. I want the intelligent solution, not IVR

  2. Having the option to know which key press did the caller pressed before it routes to the user without going through a call queue to use the Display Settings (Group Name).

  3. Hard to put in words, but it would be nice if you could have the RingCX workflow and dial choices automatically show up on caller's cell phones when they call a number, which immediately displays all the choices for the current IVR menu/workflow/dial tree they are in. This would allow them to see what choices they can pick instead of waiting for the audio greeting to read the choices to them.

  4. Description: We are using the RingCentral for Microsoft Teams (Direct Routing 2.0) integration. Currently, calls made from the PSTN (external) correctly ring both the Teams app and the user's physical desk phone.

    However, when a call is initiated internally (Teams-to-Teams) or via a Teams IVR, the call stays entirely within the Microsoft cloud and does not route through the RingCentral network. As a result, the physical desk phone does not ring.

    The Ask: We need a configuration option to route internal Teams calls through RingCentral (or fork the signaling) to ensure the physical desk phone rings simultaneously with the Teams…

  5. I would like to see a feature where the ordering of Custom Rules determines their priority in matching to inbound calls.

    Here is my use case:
    I have a custom rule on a site's Auto Receptionist to send calls to an answering service during the lunch hour.

    I also have a custom rule for Holidays set on the same Auto Receptionist.

    Naturally, the lunch schedule happens every day (including holidays) so this creates a conflict. Currently I have to exclude the lunch hour from the Holiday rule to have no conflicts. This however will have calls during the lunch hour…

  6. Currently if you assign a temporary number to the Contact Center it cannot be reversed until the number it is associated with ports. This is an inconvenience. Also to avoid downtime, and have a quick and seamless migration, we should be able to reassign a temp number mistakenly assigned to route to a contact center. When trying to reassign, you get the message below:
    Number Type: Contact Center Routing Number
    This Contact Center number is being used as a temporary number for an in-progress port-in. It can't be reassigned to another number type.

  7. When configuring an IVR Menu, it would be very helpful to have the option to label an ‘External Transfer’ number with a description.

    Currently, when a key press action is set to ‘External Transfer’ and includes only the phone number, other admins who review the call routing later won’t know who or what that number routes to (see attached screenshot).

    Our company works with many different third-party partners, so being able to label each external number with the associated company or purpose would make call routing management much clearer and more efficient.

  8. I want to be able to identify if a call is coming from Google Ads, even when Google uses random phone numbers. The reason is so I can route those calls differently. Right now, I was told I could set up a custom rule to do this, but I can’t if the calls from Google Ads are coming from random numbers.

  9. Implement a specialized Department Voicemail Broadcast IVR that allows a manager to record a message and instantly broadcast it to a specific department's members. The recipients should then be able to easily acknowledge the message or immediately call the manager back.

    The manager calls a dedicated Department Broadcast IVR (e.g., a specific extension or phone number).

    Recording: After selecting a department, the manager is prompted to record a message.

    Broadcast: Upon hanging up (or confirming the message), the recorded message is immediately distributed to all members of the selected department/group.

    The agent receives the recorded message via their RingCentral extension/phone.…

  10. The current RingCentral IVR configuration enforces a hard-coded limit of three (3) prompt repetitions when a caller enters no action (i.e., no key press is detected) before the system executes a final action (e.g., disconnecting the call or routing to the next destination).

    Please introduce a new, configurable setting in the IVR/Auto-Receptionist setup that allows administrators to change the number of times the prompt repeats before executing the final action.
    Or add an option to skip the IVR or route the caller to an extension if they hit pound (#) or star key (*).

  11. Stop Voicemail Recording Automatically Once Threshold Reached

    The system should automatically stop recording voicemail once it reaches a threshold of 3-5 minutes.

    These more than 5 minutes voicemails are not being saved on the admin portal or RingCentral app, making customers miss important voicemail messages left without the ability to retrieve.

  12. Can you make it so that when Auto Receptionists are being built, that you don't have to have each key stroke. Let the key strokes be defined and then save. It takes longer to have to save it each time.

  14. We prefer the RingCentral Mobile App Version 24.3 for our organization. We like the size of the mobile version and the HUD and setup of the mobile version. We use this version app with our headsets and we do not use desktop phones. Thank you.

  15. The ability to generate and access a complete, continuous transcript for calls that have been merged (e.g., when multiple participants are combined into a single active call session).

    Current Limitation:
    At this time, merged calls do not produce a unified transcript reflecting the entire conversation. This creates gaps in documentation and makes it difficult to review discussions in full context.

    Business Need / Use Case:

    Maintain accurate and complete records of multi-party conversations

    Improve compliance and documentation

    Enhance coaching and quality assurance reviews

    Provide better visibility into full customer interactions

    Having a consolidated transcript for merged calls would significantly improve…

  16. Currently, there is no option to enter a caller ID(e.g. Airbnb) when creating a custom rule. We can only enter the callers' phone numbers or contacts from the address book.
    Using a specific caller ID helps us filter calls, especially when multiple numbers share the same caller ID.

  18. Description of the Idea:
    When an incoming call targets a Site Number, RingCentral currently displays the main company or main user name as the caller destination. This behavior is misleading and causes confusion for users, especially in multi-site organizations.

    Problem Statement:

    • The display does not reflect the actual target site, even though the call was placed to a specific site number (X Number).
    • Users are shown the main tenant name rather than the name of the site being contacted.
    • This prevents staff from identifying which site the caller is trying to reach, impacting call handling, routing, and response efficiency.
