  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. Ability to block a specific carrier such as Google Voice. Been getting a lot of SPAM calls from them and blocking numbers manually can be a hassle.

  4. 🛑 Problem Statement & Admin Portal Gap
    When an automatic call recording rule (SMART ACR) suppresses recording due to two-party consent regulations (e.g., California state law), parking and retrieving the call breaks the consent rule, causing unconsented automatic recording to initiate.

    🔍 Root Cause & Admin Portal Limitation
    Observed Behavior:

    A call connects to a number in a two-party consent state; SMART ACR correctly disables automatic recording.

    The call is placed on a Park Location / Extension.

    Upon retrieving the call, the system initiates a new recording session based on default ACR settings, overriding the original SMART ACR suppression.

    • A way to place an announcement on all queues that the call will be recorded

  6. RingCentral generally limits a call from hitting the exact same IVR menu more than 3 times in a single session. Once that limit is breached, the system assumes the call is broken, plays the "We are experiencing a technical problem" error, and terminates the call. We should be able to increase the IVR loop limit so it doesn't just cut off after 3 times.

  7. Needs to buzz visitors into their building.Requesting an automated option where a designated RingCentral extension can:

    Auto-answer incoming calls from the gate/door system.

    Automatically send a DTMF tone (e.g., press "9") to release the door lock without manual intervention.

    Having an option to enable an "auto-answer and press DTMF key" routine for specific numbers or door systems would significantly streamline door access management for users handling high entry volumes.

  8. 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…

  11. Currently, custom hold music uploads are limited to 8kHz mono (PCM 16-bit or G.711a WAV, or MP3), per RingCentral's documentation. This is narrowband, telephone-quality audio, noticeably lower fidelity than the HD Voice codecs (G.722, Opus) RingCentral already uses for live call audio on supported devices and plans.

    I've noticed a clear quality gap: hold music on RingCentral calls sounds significantly worse than hold music I've encountered on calls with other providers, which appear to use wideband audio.

    Feature request: allow hold music to be transmitted using the same wideband codecs (G.722/Opus) already supported for live voice, when the call and…

  12. Feature Request: IVR Key Press Enforcement & Extension Dialing Isolation
    Status / Problem Statement
    Currently in RingEX, if a caller dials an IVR direct number and presses a single digit (e.g., "1") immediately upon connection, the system frequently interprets this as Direct Extension Dialing instead of an IVR Key Press Assignment.

    If the account has a single-digit extension matching that number (Extension 1), the call routes directly to that extension, completely bypassing the IVR menu logic. This allows callers (and robo-dialers) to accidentally or intentionally bypass intended IVR routes, breaking call flows and disrupting staff.

    Proposed Enhancement

  14. Feature Request:
    Ability to set the Ring type of Call queue members

    Description: Add the ability to set the ring type to "Silent" for individual call queue members. This allows each member to choose whether their desk phone rings audibly or only flashes/blinks during an incoming call queue routing.

    Business impact: Front-line staff can handle in-person clients professionally without a background chorus of ringing phones. They can discretely monitor the queue via visual blinks and pick up calls only when free, maintaining a premium, undistracted experience for the customer standing right in front of them.

  16. The customer is requesting a dedicated report in RingEX Analytics that tracks IVR keypress metrics. They need the ability to see exactly which keys/options were selected in a multi-level IVR and the total count of those selections. The report must support custom date ranges and provide historical data retention going back at least six months.

  18. Preserve Distinct Line Key Indicators for Monitored Users Receiving Direct Calls

    Summary:
    Introduce an option that allows monitored line keys to clearly distinguish between direct calls to a monitored user and calls intended for the local user, restoring the previous visual behavior or making it configurable.

    Business Need

    Organizations that rely on Busy Lamp Field (BLF), monitored extensions, and delegated call answering need to immediately identify who an incoming call is intended for.

    Previously, when a direct call was placed to a monitored user, only that user's monitored line key would indicate the incoming call while other monitored line keys…

  19. Configure the RingCentral system to bypass calls coming from our AI agent's number (Prosper AI). It would need to recognize them even when we display the patient's number instead of ours.
    Set up a SIP connection that lets calls transferred back to your system skip the routing logic that sends them to our AI agent.
