  1. [Context] Currently the only option for Voicemails is to have them route to an email address. My company deals in healthcare and as a result voicemails are "sensitive data" which we would like to avoid sending to email inboxes.

    Our RingCX agents mostly work out of our CRM software, which is authorized for sensitive data storage.

    It would be extremely beneficial to be able to have voicemails / transcripts / AI summaries sent to an HTTP endpoint... so we can direct the data exactly where we need.

  2. The customer would like to have an option where they can route the incoming caller to busy line tone when they are on active incoming call both when their direct number is being dialed or the company number (for user who are used for main number routing) and not to route them on voicemail but still receive an SMS message notification for missed calls.

  5. Currently, Automatic Call Recording (ACR) does not capture audio that plays during hold time, such as wait messages or call disclosures.

    We need the ability for ACR to record these hold messages—particularly when a disclosure message is played to inform callers that the call is being recorded. This ensures compliance and transparency when recordings are enabled.

    Additionally, we would like to have the option to play the disclosure message anytime as needed, not just at the start of the call. This flexibility will help ensure the disclosure is heard at the most appropriate time while maintaining a smooth and compliant…

  6. Add option to report on which IVR option(s) a customer chooses during a call. This would greatly enhance the ability to determine whether IVR changes are effective.

  7. To combat nuisance callers, we have found that utilising the call blocking feature on the Super Admin account to not be the best method. When these rules are applied, it is very obvious to the nuisance caller that they have been blocked, therefore can simply change the number that they are calling from to circumvent this.

    What we have found to be a lot more beneficial is to configure custom rules which re-directs certain caller IDs to a call queue which isn't manned. This then gives the appearance to the nuisance caller that they are waiting in legitimate queue, reducing…

  8. There should be a different status/call result for calls missed during a working day and calls missed outside of working hours.

    We run an 8am - 5pm technical support service, and calls received outside of these hours are categorised as 'missed'. Calls that come in during these hours that don't get answered are also categorised as 'missed'. This means we can't rely on using %missed as a KPI.

    If calls outside of working hours had a different call result, this would improve performance reporting hugely.

  9. Every time I update the date/time of a custom rule I have to click through the date times one at a time. It would be so much easier to just type the time. Ie: 4:30.

  10. The customer is requesting a setup where internal calls are routed solely to the user's desk phone, mobile, or desktop application—excluding any additional users defined in their ring group settings. These ring group settings should only be applied to external or client calls received through the direct number shared with clients.

  11. We would like to block outbound calls to certain area codes that are outside of allowable call time frames. For example, we want to block all calls to 808 numbers before 10am. If an agent attempted to call, it would give them an error message. Do we have a way to set this type of block based on area codes?

  14. Some of our sites use an answering service for after hours and would like to be able to manage that from the site level instead of having to do it from the call queue for those sites and auto-receptionist for others. This would make scheduling the holidays easier as well.

  15. When an inbound call comes in to an IVR Menu and forwards it to an external number, the Caller ID that shows up is the RingCentral number. This is happening even if the Preserve Caller ID feature is turned on. Unlike when a call comes in to a user extension and forwards it to an external number it preserves the original caller ID. We need to have the original caller ID show up when a call comes in to an IVR.

  17. It would be ideal if there were a way to create an exception to the after-hours rule—specifically, to allow internal calls to still ring the device even when after-hours routing is set to forward calls to a mobile number.

  18. 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 (*).

  19. Call Result Code Entered by the User for outbound calls

    In the ringcentral app v1.6.x, is there a way the user can enter a result code such as left message, gate keeper, etc?

    Examples
    1. User cold calls a number and speaks with the executive assistant but not the person they want to talk to. This would be a call result of "Gate Keeper" meaning a message was left.
    2. User cold calls a number and leaves a voice mail.
    3. User cold calls a number but did not leave a voicemail.

  20. Currently, managing Custom Rules for holidays requires manual yearly maintenance. Administrators must manually update the date ranges within these rules every year (e.g., updating a rule from "Dec 25, 2025" to "Dec 25, 2026"). This process is prone to human error, time-consuming, and frequently leads to calls being misrouted when holidays are overlooked or updated incorrectly.

    Introduce a new condition type within the Custom Rules creation flow called "Holiday Schedule" or "Dynamic Date."
    This new condition should allow administrators to define a holiday rule using a recurring, flexible pattern rather than a fixed date range.

    Key Functionality:

    1. Selection Type: Add…
