Display Site Name When Incoming Call Is Directed to a Site Number
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.
Suggested Improvement:
Update the incoming call display logic to:
- Show the name of the site when a site number (X Number) is used for inbound or outbound calls.
- Ensure the site name replaces the generic main user or tenant name in all relevant RingCentral apps, devices, and logs.
Use Case Example:
- A customer calls the Paris office’s site number.
- The receptionist sees the incoming call labeled as “Main Tenant – HQ,” which is incorrect.
- Expected behavior: Display “Paris Office” to correctly reflect the called destination.
Implementation Suggestion:
- Automatically map X Numbers to their associated site name.
Modify the call presentation layer to prioritize site name over main user name when the call is made to or from a site number.
Benefits:
- Improves clarity for end users
- Reduces misrouting and confusion during call handling
- Enhances multi-site support and professionalism
- Aligns system behavior with user expectations and real-world operations
Priority:
Medium, but important for multi-site deployments — ideally implemented ASAP to prevent operational errors.
Conclusion:
Displaying the correct site name for calls using site numbers will improve usability, accuracy, and the overall call experience, especially in organizations operating across multiple locations.
