  1. Allow text messages sent to the same company number that the call queue is answering to be answered by any user in that call queue. Allow them to send messages from the company number and have a unified spot so that multiple users can respond. As our CSRs go off and on shift they should be able to pick up a text thread with a customer.

    Updated 9/8/23: This has been moved to Q1 2024Hi everyone, this is planned as a two parter: coming in December 2022, users will be able to select which number their outbound texts are sent through in settings. Coming later in 2023, users will be able to select their outbound number in the separate messaging window (not just in settings). This only addresses outbound caller ID. If you would like to see a more shared inbox group texting option, please vote for these ideas: Add a text message queue similar to the call queueTexts should go to multiple users
  3. I would like to have an auto reply text message sent out for a call that is missed to the customer who placed the call.

  4. Date and time stamp should be included in all text messages being sent within the RingCentral desktop app. At times, this is used in conjunction with our Accounting team to receive confirmation from users to approve certain matters. Having the text message only read 'today' does not help to validate when the communication actually took place (date and time). The only time date and time is included together is when it's a past date.

  5. I use RC as my primary phone service. In many cases organizations send SMS messages from "short code" numbers. I can receive them on RC. But I can not respond. This is an important feature!

  6. Most carriers I have worked with have the ability to send text messages to a phone number by sending an email. According to RC support this feature is not currently available. Would be a nice addition, especially for developers.Examples:##########@messaging.sprintpcs.com##########@vtext.com##########@txt.att.net

  9. Hi, It would be best if we can allow SMS to be enabled for UK numbers. This will help users to utilize their UK numbers in communicating to clients thru text messaging.

  10. We currently cannot quickly text a customer while we are on the phone with that customer while using the desktop program on computer (not the extension). We have to take multiple steps such as: Go to text and create a new text, search their contact, etc. A simple and easy solution to this would be one of 2 options below:Show the Ongoing Call in the calls area, while we are on the call (currently the call only shows after we end the call). This will allow us to text someone quickly just as we can any past calls that show…

  12. we have to click each sms message to delete it. This is cumbersome and frankly an elementary need. I cant believe this isn't already an option.

  13. Would like to change/update the name of the group text message so we can easily send a text thread to the group without typing/adding their phone numbers again.

  16. Ringcentral would provide a dedicated email address tied to the account. When emails are sent to this address, they are converted to sms messages sent to the number associated with the account. This is useful for IOT devices where foreign equipment can send email alerts only. These email alerts would then be received by RingCentral and converted into SMS messages.

  17. I would like the ability to centrally backup/archive SMS and MMS messages for Documentation, Audit, and Compliance purposes (HIPAA) using Archiver. We already have the ability to centrally backup call recordings and messages but not SMS. In Healthcare, there is a need to document SMS consents that are currently being done manually. The sms/mms messages are needed for proof. There is not currently a way to do this according to support and developer support for the APIs

  18. I work for a large real estate team and we recently moved all our numbers over to Ring Central from Mitel. One thing we were not aware of is that we cannot have more than 10 people in a group SMS, which is pretty frustrating. We need to be in communication with anywhere from 11-23 people at any given moment. Not being able to do this causes issues with our business and is forcing us to seek other alternative options. Apple lets you have up to 32 people in a group message. Can this be escalated quickly?

  19. According to your site you allow up to 100 receiptients for bulk text messages. There should be a way to create contact groups so if you need to send text messages to a group of people on a regular basis, you can simply select that group and send the message. Similar to teams, however, these recipents do not have RC accounts, but still need to receive text messages from an RC phone number.

  20. Clinics as well as other verticles are requesting more inbound texting capabilities to Groups of users. We have done a few work arounds using the Company SMS Text Setting to a Virtual Extenson with a common login for all users, This requires them to run either two RC Apps at the same time or use the RC App as their primary end-point and then use WebRTC as an example for their secondary External Inbound/Outbound Group Texting. In this case, the clinic uses texting for patient scheduling. This is replacing OhMD for this particlular clinic.
