  1. Currently, when dialing our main company number from RingCentral (or Microsoft Teams) using a pause format such as 5087719400,,2305, the system does not automatically pass the extension. The call remains at the main IVR and does not route to the intended extension.

    However, the same dialing method works correctly when calling from a mobile device, where the extension is processed as expected.

    Click-to-dial is enabled in RingCentral settings, so this appears to be a limitation in how pause/delay dialing and extension handling is processed within RingCentral/Teams.

    We would like this functionality to be reviewed and considered for future enhancement so…

  2. We want the ability to apply a custom voice prompt to the AI Notetaker feature in the RingEX application. Currently, it generates a generic "AI is taking notes" prompt to customers, which may put them off. The goal is to create something personalized that may not be so jarring.

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  6. We use a RingCentral AI Receptionist for our salon business. Two response behaviors are currently fixed with no admin control, and both affect caller experience:
    1. Acknowledgment filler — before every answer, the receptionist speaks a filler line ("All right, I'll look into that," "Got it, noted"). Please add a setting to disable acknowledgment responses so the receptionist answers directly, or a custom-instructions field where admins can set response style.
    2. Interruption handling — there are no settings for caller interruptions: no enable/disable, no sensitivity, and no choice of what the receptionist does after being cut off (resume vs. drop…

  7. This is the only voip system I have worked with that requires a greeting to be played multiple times before the calls are directed to where they need to be. I don't know how to explain my issue without detailing my specific situation. We have both an english staff and a spanish speaking staff. When a patient calls in they can select from the prompts and get directed to one of our english speaking staff, or they can press 0 and get to our spanish line.

    On the Spanish IVR they only have 2 groups to choose from. Select 1…

  8. 🛑 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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…

  13. We have Voicemails that get forwarded to different departments but when they get forwarded from one extension to another is shows that the extension number as the callerID. We want the forwarded messages to show the original callerid of the person who left the voicemail.

  16. 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…

  17. 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
    We need a…

  19. 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.
