Preserve Historical Call Logs & SMS Data Upon Extension Reset and Reassignment
Requesting to automatically preserve and archive SMS and Call logs whenever an extension is reset, unassigned, or reassigned to a new user, with retention options extending beyond RingCentral's standard 90-day limit.
Currently, resetting or reassigning an extension disassociates or wipes historical communication history from the active profile, creating severe compliance, HIPAA/FINRA, and legal audit risks for organizations required to store records long-term (e.g., 1 to 7 years). Furthermore, this request asks for a clean separation of historical data so newly assigned employees cannot access a predecessor’s past messages, alongside an automated admin option that archives all call records, text threads, and voicemails directly to the Admin Portal or RingCentral Archiver without requiring manual export workflows beforehand.
