Improve fax handling options for multiple departments/locations
In our business, we have multiple locations that each have their own fax number. Upon moving our fax lines to Ring Central, I've discovered that there are some limitations to how we can configure those.I initially set up an extension for each of our fax lines. On the fax notifications settings, I am able to specify a group email address. I can add everyone in that department to the email group and they all get the incoming faxes for that number. That's perfect.The problem, however, is that assigning the fax number to an extension seems to prevent other extensions from sending a fax from that number. From what I understand, the number would have to be a company number and be assigned to the auto-receptionist instead of an extension. That, however, results in all of our fax numbers being handled by the same auto-receptionist which then takes away our ability to send fax notifications for different numbers to different email addresses. If they all go to the same auto-receptionist extension, we'd have to put one person or group in charge of reviewing all faxes for all departments and then distribute them to where they should go. We don't like that setup.What we need is some way for departments to share the same fax number to send and receive faxes, basically the way traditional faxing has always been done.
