  1. The Admin is requesting a feature that would allow admins to schedule monthly fax log reports for the previous month and have them automatically sent out. The requested functionality should include the ability to select specific users to be included in the report, rather than generating logs for all users. Additionally, the customer would like the option to filter these reports by Site or Department, which is not currently possible in the Admin Portal. At present, fax log reports must be pulled manually, and there is no way to automate or customize them at this level. Implementing this feature would…

  2. When we upload the Shared directory of external contacts in the RingCentral Admin Portal by default, the contacts are showing on the Company tab of the RingCentral app.
    Please implement a feature wherein we can select on which tab on the Contacts portion of the RC app that we can put the externally shared contacts

  3. Currently, users are unable to reuse any of their last five passwords when changing their RingCentral credentials. While this is a helpful security feature, some users prefer to use a previous password for consistency and ease of recall. We suggest adding an option for admins to clear a user’s password history or allow password reuse after a certain period. This added flexibility can reduce support requests and improve the user experience without compromising overall security.

  4. Description of the Idea:
    When assigning a phone number during user creation, RingCentral currently shows only the phone number itself, with no label or name indicating its current usage or purpose. This can lead to accidental assignment of numbers that are already in use for redirects, call queues, auto-receptionists, or external routing, potentially disrupting existing call flows.

    Problem Statement:
    - Admins cannot easily distinguish between numbers that are reserved, actively used, or intended for specific services.
    - As a result, it's possible to mistakenly assign a number used for redirection to a new user.
    - This introduces unexpected behavior and…

  5. Description of the Idea:
    When modifying a Call Queue’s distribution method (e.g., Round-Robin, Simultaneous, etc.), custom call handling rules that use callHandlingAction = AgentQueue are not updated accordingly. This leads to operational inconsistencies and requires manual updates to each rule individually, which is error-prone and time-consuming.

    Suggested Improvement:
    Introduce automatic synchronization between a queue’s main distribution settings and all custom rules that use that queue via callHandlingAction = AgentQueue.

    This could be implemented in one of two ways:

    • Add a new boolean attribute, e.g. syncqueuedistribution, in the PUT /business-hours-rule request. When true, all relevant rules will inherit the…

  7. Implement measures to prevent unauthorized parties from joining or eavesdropping on active calls, such as end-to-end encryption, secure call authentication, or real-time alerts for unusual activities.

  9. 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…

  10. 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.

  12. Phones to ring MUCH longer than standard, up to 5-10 minutes. The current limit is 15 rings (75 seconds). Administering call queues or other workarounds is not scalable across 100s of potential extensions (the use case here is for a public sector healthcare project).

    This would not be a good setting for all customers, but having a backend option for "Super long ringing" would be useful!

  13. The default subject line for email notifications when voicemails are left reads "New Voice Message from [RingCentral customer name] - [customer] [number] on [date]. Where email subject line real estate is at a premium, RingCentral customers should be given flexibility and customization.

    First, the VM is most likely not "from" the RingCentral customer--it is mostly likely from the customer of the Ring Central customer.

    Second, if the RingCentral customer has a long name, the most important part of the VM--the WHO--gets lost in the sauce.

    Lastly, the subject line is poorly formatted with no punctuation or break between the name…

  17. We're considering adding a feature to display user status directly in the Contacts list, without the need to click on individual names. This would show statuses like "in a call," "in a meeting," "offline," "online," and "available to receive calls." We believe this could enhance user experience by providing quick, at-a-glance information about contact availability.

  18. A way to easily block all external incoming calls but only allow select internal extensions to call extensions.

    The idea is to prevent anyone from outside the company from calling the select phone and allow people within the company to call those devices/phones.

    The use case for us is we are using Ring Central with Algo Intercom devices and would like to control who can call the intercoms. We do not want any spam calls that can call our intercoms.

  19. The customer requests a feature modification to the main IVR system. They want the system to ring 2-3 times, depending on the caller's selection, before routing to voicemail. After the voicemail message plays, the IVR should then ring as usual.
