  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. Adding "order status" in the phone system. For example, when a customer calls in, they can put their order number in and it will tell or show them the estimated time that it would be ready.

  6. [Context] Currently the only option for Voicemails is to have them route to an email address. My company deals in healthcare and as a result voicemails are "sensitive data" which we would like to avoid sending to email inboxes.

    Our RingCX agents mostly work out of our CRM software, which is authorized for sensitive data storage.

    It would be extremely beneficial to be able to have voicemails / transcripts / AI summaries sent to an HTTP endpoint... so we can direct the data exactly where we need.

  7. 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.

  8. Currently, Automatic Call Recording (ACR) does not capture audio that plays during hold time, such as wait messages or call disclosures.

    We need the ability for ACR to record these hold messages—particularly when a disclosure message is played to inform callers that the call is being recorded. This ensures compliance and transparency when recordings are enabled.

    Additionally, we would like to have the option to play the disclosure message anytime as needed, not just at the start of the call. This flexibility will help ensure the disclosure is heard at the most appropriate time while maintaining a smooth and compliant…

  9. To combat nuisance callers, we have found that utilising the call blocking feature on the Super Admin account to not be the best method. When these rules are applied, it is very obvious to the nuisance caller that they have been blocked, therefore can simply change the number that they are calling from to circumvent this.

    What we have found to be a lot more beneficial is to configure custom rules which re-directs certain caller IDs to a call queue which isn't manned. This then gives the appearance to the nuisance caller that they are waiting in legitimate queue, reducing…

  10. There should be a different status/call result for calls missed during a working day and calls missed outside of working hours.

    We run an 8am - 5pm technical support service, and calls received outside of these hours are categorised as 'missed'. Calls that come in during these hours that don't get answered are also categorised as 'missed'. This means we can't rely on using %missed as a KPI.

    If calls outside of working hours had a different call result, this would improve performance reporting hugely.

  13. 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 (*).

  14. Call Result Code Entered by the User for outbound calls

    In the ringcentral app v1.6.x, is there a way the user can enter a result code such as left message, gate keeper, etc?

    Examples
    1. User cold calls a number and speaks with the executive assistant but not the person they want to talk to. This would be a call result of "Gate Keeper" meaning a message was left.
    2. User cold calls a number and leaves a voice mail.
    3. User cold calls a number but did not leave a voicemail.

  15. Currently, managing Custom Rules for holidays requires manual yearly maintenance. Administrators must manually update the date ranges within these rules every year (e.g., updating a rule from "Dec 25, 2025" to "Dec 25, 2026"). This process is prone to human error, time-consuming, and frequently leads to calls being misrouted when holidays are overlooked or updated incorrectly.

    Introduce a new condition type within the Custom Rules creation flow called "Holiday Schedule" or "Dynamic Date."
    This new condition should allow administrators to define a holiday rule using a recurring, flexible pattern rather than a fixed date range.

    Key Functionality:

    1. Selection Type: Add…

  16. Account federation has been enabled between RingCentral instances in Canada, USA, Australia, and the UK. However, an issue has been identified with the Auto-Attendant functionality. When a caller provides a 4-digit extension, the Auto-Attendant is unable to route the call across instances. Interestingly, the routing works correctly when dialing by name.

    From a user point of view, this works fine. I can call from the Canada instance to the USA instance via someone's internal 4-digit USA extension.

    However, when an inbound call comes to the Auto-Attendant in Canada, the robot is unable to route across/between instances.

  18. The customer is requesting a setup where internal calls are routed solely to the user's desk phone, mobile, or desktop application—excluding any additional users defined in their ring group settings. These ring group settings should only be applied to external or client calls received through the direct number shared with clients.

  19. My query was whether it is possible to stop the missed calls in case someone calls our direct line. If someone calls our direct line and we are not available to answer, it should not be counted as a missed call.
