  1. Alllow incoming calls to be connected automatically depending on contacts. If the system recognized my contact, it should directly connect to my number. If not, it should connect to my desire queue. If Ringcentral recognizes the caller phone number to be within my current contacts, then I need the phone directed to my assistant. If Ringcentral does not recognize the number, I need the call directed to my intake team. I want the intelligent solution, not IVR

  2. Under the Caller ID restrictions, the "Allow direct numbers as Caller ID" option currently enables end users to call out using all IVR numbers. However, the user should only be able to use the specific IVR Menu number assigned to them as their outbound Caller ID, without access to any other IVR numbers.

  3. Having the option to know which key press did the caller pressed before it routes to the user without going through a call queue to use the Display Settings (Group Name).

  4. Hard to put in words, but it would be nice if you could have the RingCX workflow and dial choices automatically show up on caller's cell phones when they call a number, which immediately displays all the choices for the current IVR menu/workflow/dial tree they are in. This would allow them to see what choices they can pick instead of waiting for the audio greeting to read the choices to them.

  5. Description: We are using the RingCentral for Microsoft Teams (Direct Routing 2.0) integration. Currently, calls made from the PSTN (external) correctly ring both the Teams app and the user's physical desk phone.

    However, when a call is initiated internally (Teams-to-Teams) or via a Teams IVR, the call stays entirely within the Microsoft cloud and does not route through the RingCentral network. As a result, the physical desk phone does not ring.

    The Ask: We need a configuration option to route internal Teams calls through RingCentral (or fork the signaling) to ensure the physical desk phone rings simultaneously with the Teams…

  6. I would like to see a feature where the ordering of Custom Rules determines their priority in matching to inbound calls.

    Here is my use case:
    I have a custom rule on a site's Auto Receptionist to send calls to an answering service during the lunch hour.

    I also have a custom rule for Holidays set on the same Auto Receptionist.

    Naturally, the lunch schedule happens every day (including holidays) so this creates a conflict. Currently I have to exclude the lunch hour from the Holiday rule to have no conflicts. This however will have calls during the lunch hour…

  7. Currently if you assign a temporary number to the Contact Center it cannot be reversed until the number it is associated with ports. This is an inconvenience. Also to avoid downtime, and have a quick and seamless migration, we should be able to reassign a temp number mistakenly assigned to route to a contact center. When trying to reassign, you get the message below:
    Number Type: Contact Center Routing Number
    This Contact Center number is being used as a temporary number for an in-progress port-in. It can't be reassigned to another number type.

  8. When configuring an IVR Menu, it would be very helpful to have the option to label an ‘External Transfer’ number with a description.

    Currently, when a key press action is set to ‘External Transfer’ and includes only the phone number, other admins who review the call routing later won’t know who or what that number routes to (see attached screenshot).

    Our company works with many different third-party partners, so being able to label each external number with the associated company or purpose would make call routing management much clearer and more efficient.

  10. Overview
    Currently, the system is hardcoded to route calls made to unassigned phone numbers to the Admin Extension by default. While this ensures calls are not dropped, it creates manual overhead for administrators who prefer these calls be handled by a specific department or automated service (e.g., a Call Queue).

    User Requirement
    The customer (Johnny) requires the ability to define a global routing rule for any phone number that holds a valid license but is not currently assigned to a specific user or entity. Specifically, he wants these calls automatically routed to a Call Queue rather than the Admin Extension.

  11. I want to be able to identify if a call is coming from Google Ads, even when Google uses random phone numbers. The reason is so I can route those calls differently. Right now, I was told I could set up a custom rule to do this, but I can’t if the calls from Google Ads are coming from random numbers.

  12. Implement a specialized Department Voicemail Broadcast IVR that allows a manager to record a message and instantly broadcast it to a specific department's members. The recipients should then be able to easily acknowledge the message or immediately call the manager back.

    The manager calls a dedicated Department Broadcast IVR (e.g., a specific extension or phone number).

    Recording: After selecting a department, the manager is prompted to record a message.

    Broadcast: Upon hanging up (or confirming the message), the recorded message is immediately distributed to all members of the selected department/group.

    The agent receives the recorded message via their RingCentral extension/phone.…

  13. The current RingCentral IVR configuration enforces a hard-coded limit of three (3) prompt repetitions when a caller enters no action (i.e., no key press is detected) before the system executes a final action (e.g., disconnecting the call or routing to the next destination).

    Please introduce a new, configurable setting in the IVR/Auto-Receptionist setup that allows administrators to change the number of times the prompt repeats before executing the final action.
    Or add an option to skip the IVR or route the caller to an extension if they hit pound (#) or star key (*).

  15. Scenario: User A and B are both admins of user C and D. A & B handle the calls for C and D. Customer would like to ring A & B phones if someone calls C or D. A & B should be able to identify the calls if it is for C or D and should also be able to see the caller information (name & number). User C & D should still be able to pick up their calls. Lastly, A & B should be able to transfer the calls internally. This applies both internal and external calls…

  16. Customers would benefit from having the ability to limit automatic call recordings to calls that exceed a specified duration, such as 1 minute or longer.

    Currently, when Automatic Call Recording is enabled, the system records all calls regardless of length. This results in many recordings that are only a few seconds long, such as missed calls, wrong numbers, spam calls, or calls that disconnect quickly.

    Adding a minimum call duration threshold before recording begins would provide several benefits:

    Reduce unnecessary recordings from very short calls

    Improve storage efficiency and recording management

    Make it easier to review meaningful conversations

    Reduce compliance…

  17. Stop Voicemail Recording Automatically Once Threshold Reached

    The system should automatically stop recording voicemail once it reaches a threshold of 3-5 minutes.

    These more than 5 minutes voicemails are not being saved on the admin portal or RingCentral app, making customers miss important voicemail messages left without the ability to retrieve.

  18. The customer requires a direct hand-off from a RingEx Hotdesk number to a RingCX IVR. Currently, the system forces the "Main Site" default IVR greeting before executing the transfer, even when the Main Site IVR is disabled or configured to route elsewhere.

    Actual Behavior: When dialing the Hotdesk number, the system plays the default IVR for the Main Site. After the greeting completes (with no user input), the call finally transfers to the RingCX destination.

    Expected Behavior: The call should bypass all Main Site greetings and route immediately to the RingCX CCRN IVR.

    Impact: Poor caller experience; delay in reaching…

  19. Can you make it so that when Auto Receptionists are being built, that you don't have to have each key stroke. Let the key strokes be defined and then save. It takes longer to have to save it each time.
