  1. Summary
    Add a built-in report in RingCentral to view user presence statuses (Available, Busy, DND, Offline), both in real time and historically.

    Problem
    Presence is currently only visible live (e.g., HUD) or via API, with no native reporting. This limits visibility and requires custom development for tracking or analysis.

    Proposed Solution
    Create a “Presence Report” in Analytics with:

    Real-time and historical presence data
    Filters (user, team, department)
    Export capability (CSV/Excel)

    Why It’s Helpful

    Improves staffing and coverage planning
    Increases operational visibility
    Supports performance monitoring
    Reduces reliance on custom API solutions

    Impact
    Enhances analytics capabilities and adds value for teams managing…

  2. Customer is testing Poly E320 phones and reported that during an internet failure and switch to failover connection, the device takes approximately 3 minutes to re-register and return online.

    Customer is requesting an improvement to reduce the re-registration time during failover events to minimize downtime and improve service continuity.

  3. The Problem
    Administrators with highly remote workforces (95%+ WFH) cannot efficiently bulk-update unique home addresses for Emergency Response Locations (ERLs).

    User Templates fail because they apply one shared address to many users.

    Nomadic 911 fails because residential networks lack corporate corporate Access Points/IP maps.

    Currently, admins must manually enter addresses one by one or write custom API scripts, creating compliance bottlenecks and liability risks.

    The Solution
    Introduce a native CSV Import Tool in the Admin Portal specifically for user ERLs.

    User Story: As an Admin, I want to upload a CSV mapping unique home addresses to specific User IDs so…

  7. Is it possible to enable a two-way call recording announcement when automated call recording is enabled in RingCentral? I did see the smart ACR feature but what I’m asking is if it’s possible to play an announcement that the call is being recorded to both parties on the line when automatic call recording is enabled. Basically, we would want both parties to be notified regardless.

  8. Problem
    The current SMS Exporter is limited to 5,000 messages or 90 days, which makes it difficult for organizations that need longer-term access to SMS history for compliance, audits, customer service reviews, or operational reporting.

    Proposed Enhancement
    Introduce an Extended SMS Archive mode that allows administrators to:

    Export SMS history beyond 90 days
    Remove or significantly increase the 5,000-message limit
    Run incremental exports (export only new messages since the last export)
    Schedule automatic exports to cloud storage destinations
    Export in multiple formats (CSV, JSON, PDF)
    Filter by extension, phone number, department, or message direction

    Additional Features

    Search messages before exporting…

  10. 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.

  12. Currently a missed call notification is sent only to the final endpoint of the call.

    If a call is offered to your extension and then forwarded to another extension (because you did not answer), the system waits to see if the second extension picks up.
    If the second extension also misses the call, the email notification is sent to that last extension where the call was offered.

    Expected Behavior:
    Send missed call email notification as soon as the call was missed by a user/extension regardless if the call was transferred to another extension after it was missed.

  13. Dear Product Team,

    We would like to formally submit a feature request for RingEX.

    Currently, agents using the RingCentral desktop application do not have visibility into the number of callers waiting in the queues to which they are assigned. This limitation impacts operational awareness, staffing responsiveness, and overall service level management.

    We request the introduction of a feature that allows agents to view real-time queue statistics, specifically the number of callers waiting per assigned queue. This functionality could be delivered through any of the following options:

    A built-in real-time queue display within the RingCentral desktop application (enabled via permission or…

  16. The RingCX Recordings Delivery feature allow for the file name to contain token #CALLDTS#, which is "The date and time a call took place". This date/time value is the Eastern Time. Our company is in Central Time zone as specified in the config settings in Ring Central. I understand the #CallDTS# value is taken from the Call UII. Both values should match the time zone specified in the company settings config.

    1. Eliminates Security Contradictions & Confusion

    When an inbound text message contains confirmed malicious phishing infrastructure (such as a "Smishing" link), RingCentral’s carrier-layer security correctly drops the text to protect the client's endpoint apps. However, allowing the automated notification daemon to still send an email copy of that exact phishing message directly to the user's corporate inbox completely defeats the purpose of the initial block. It creates a massive security paradox that confuses end-users and generates unnecessary IT support tickets.

    1. Reduces Corporate Phishing Attack Surfaces
      By delivering the verbatim contents of a blocked phishing text via email—complete with the malicious URL—the…

  19. I would like to request an increase to the current three-device login limit for RingCentral Fax. Many users need access from multiple devices, such as desktops, laptops, and mobile phones, and the current limit can be restrictive. Allowing more device logins would improve flexibility and productivity while supporting today's multi-device work environments.
