  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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).

  5. 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…

  6. 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.…

  7. Description of the Idea:
    When an incoming call targets a Site Number, RingCentral currently displays the main company or main user name as the caller destination. This behavior is misleading and causes confusion for users, especially in multi-site organizations.

    Problem Statement:

    • The display does not reflect the actual target site, even though the call was placed to a specific site number (X Number).
    • Users are shown the main tenant name rather than the name of the site being contacted.
    • This prevents staff from identifying which site the caller is trying to reach, impacting call handling, routing, and response efficiency.

  8. Adding "order status" in the phone system. For example, when a customer calls in, they can put their order number in and it will tell or show them the estimated time that it would be ready.

  9. [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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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…

  12. 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…

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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?

  18. 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.

  19. 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.
