"Off Hook" auto dialing
I need a way to program a phone to automatically dial a (hard coded) number when the handset is picked up. You will commonly see this in common areas. For example, I would like to have a phone that when picked up auto dials a receptionist without having to dial an extension, and this is the only number this phone can call.

Team, this was implemented in Q2. From Release Notes (found here):Autodial can be enabled/disabled for specific supported devices to dial a specific phone number. An example use case is a phone in a bar which would automatically dial a taxi company. This is available for MVP Premium and Ultimate edition customers.

Previously used this feature with Cisco phone system. Absolutely needed for our lobby phone setup. Please add this feature to RC.

This feature is essential for access door phones. Push the button, the POTS type phone connects and the system dials an operator or a hunt group of people who can speak to the button-pusher and decide if they are to be let into the complex. I've also seen them in airports, used to call a certain cab company, or hotel....

We had this function on Aura and IPO but this is causing our ACO project to stall as this is a high profile feature in our Lobby for visotors to our CEO. Please can we have this auto dial function added please.
