  1. Please add the ability for the AI Receptionist to detect when a user/extension is set to Do Not Disturb (DND) and automatically route the call differently instead of attempting the transfer.

    Right now, adding instructions to the Knowledge Base does not reliably work because the AI does not appear to have real-time awareness of user DND status.

    Requested Behavior

    If a caller asks for a user who is on DND:

    Do not transfer the call
    Route to a backup extension, queue, voicemail, or alternative destination
    Optionally provide a custom response to the caller
    Example

    Caller asks for Reception.

    Reception extension…

  2. When creating an IVR menu to announce the store hours, instead of creating an announcement-only extension, it should announce what the business hours that you set up.

  3. Enable "Cold Transfer" Hashtag (##) support for Presence/BLF Keys

    Description:
    Currently, when configuring a Presence (BLF) key for a colleague on a Mitel 6930 (or any RingCentral-provisioned desk phone), the system only allows for a standard extension number. There is a critical need to allow DTMF characters, specifically the double hashtag (##), to be prepended to the extension within the Presence field.

    Current Pain Point:
    Users want to perform a One-Touch Cold Transfer.

    If a user manually programs a Speed Dial on the phone as ##[Ext], it works perfectly.

    However, if they use the Presence feature via the Admin Portal,…

  5. Currently, within the RingCentral system, when Call Waiting is disabled on a fax extension, any second incoming call is automatically routed to voicemail while the first call is active. This is the system’s default behavior.

    The customer is requesting the ability to customize how incoming calls are handled when Call Waiting is turned off on a dedicated fax extension using an ATA device. Specifically, they would like an option to:

    Play a busy tone instead of routing the call to voicemail

    Play a custom announcement

    Reject the call without forwarding to voicemail

    Redirect the call to a different extension or…

  7. BT Feature Request: Allow BT Phone numbers to be used on another providers forwarding system

    Details : Currently, BT-provided phones numbers auto answers inbound calls causing phone calls to immediately follow and ring through the BT Cloud Work Call flow which causes the forwarding option of another provider to be bypassed

    Expected Behavior: To allow the phone number to only be rung instead of auto answering the call which would mess the Call Forwarding of another phone provider

    Brand : BT Business

  10. I want to implement a system where users can only log in if they enter a code provided by the admin, rather than receiving it via email. For example, when a user attempts to log in, the required code would be sent to the admin's email or generated within the admin portal. This approach ensures that only the admin can authorize user logins, maintaining strict control over access to the system.

  11. UC Voicemail should have AI capabilities and features that allows you to:

    Filter out voicemails under a certain duration (e.g., less than 10 seconds)

    Automatically prevent multiple voicemails from going to the inbox

  13. Current limitation:
    The system only allows one main company number per account. Any additional numbers intended to function as primary contact numbers must be routed through the Auto-Receptionist.

    Requested enhancement:
    Enable support for multiple company main numbers that can operate independently without being required to route through an Auto-Receptionist.

    Business need / impact:

    Customers may have multiple published business numbers that should function equally as primary contact points.
    Some organizations prefer direct routing (e.g., to users, departments, or call queues) without an Auto-Receptionist layer.
    This limitation affects flexibility in call flow design and can impact customer experience and adoption for…

  14. We have the message turned on that says "This call is being recorded" and we want to keep that on, but when we transfer the call to another user, it says it again. I would like to be able to turn the SECOND message off, so the message only plays one time during the initial call.

  15. Customers performing required monthly or periodic testing of physical 911 buttons are unable to prevent emergency notifications from being sent. This creates operational noise, unnecessary alerts to internal stakeholders, and requires coordination with local PSAPs for every test.

    Requested Enhancement:

    Introduce an optional setting that allows administrators to temporarily suppress 911 alert notifications (email/SMS/internal alerts) during scheduled or admin-approved test windows while maintaining compliance and safety safeguards.

    Justification:
    Reduces unnecessary alarm and confusion during compliance testing

  16. A feature is requested to enhance RingCentral's role-based access controls by allowing administrators to restrict user access to call recordings based on both site and department attributes. For example, a manager assigned to a specific site and department should only be able to access call recordings for users within that same site and department — ensuring more granular control over data visibility and security across organizational units.

  19. Currently, when a call is routed through a Call Queue, RingCentral ignores the individual "Call Handling & Forwarding" (Ring Group) settings of the queue members. For users who utilize external AI assistants or automated answering services tied to their personal extension, this creates a major gap in coverage where queue calls go unanswered by the AI.

    Proposed Functionality:
    Provide a toggle within Call Queue settings (e.g., "Respect Member Forwarding Rules") that allows the queue to recognize and trigger external numbers or AI assistants added to a member's personal ring group.

    Use Case / Benefit:
    Many businesses now use third-party AI…

  20. I'd like a way to check the outbound caller ID set on a user's account without having to go user by user in the admin portal. If it could be included in the User export or displayed as a column in the user portal that would be ideal
