RingEX: Phone, SMS, & Fax

Can I block a fax number?

Is it possible to block a fax number? I receive anywhere from two to twenty a day. We are receiving order confirmations from a vendor and have asked them to stop numerous times. They transitioned to a new program and they can not figure out where the box is to uncheck this oition. They said it’s an anomaly because they can not figure it out. Please advise how to block this fax number from incoming faxes. Thank you

first caller gets muted when a second call comes in

we have an employee that whenever they’re on a call, and a second call comes in, the employee stops hearing the first caller until the second call stops ringing (no ringing sound).i have tested that with her for quite some time. she is using the desktop app, and when she gets a call everything is okay, but when she is on an active call and someone calls her, she will stop hearing the person on the other side, until a few seconds after the the second caller hangs up.while being on the call with her, i have called from several different numbers, both RC and external, and every time i saw her RC get an incoming call, she we stop hearing me.

Trying to access number inventory via API

Hi.I am working on an internal tool for my company to be able to onboard employees into ringcentral. I am able to create the users, but now I want to be able to assign them a number from the number inventory. I am able to successfully make the calls to reassign numbers but was wondering if there was a way to access the phone numbers in the inventory via the API? I want grab this data to be able to parse for specific area codes and then use the ids in the call to reassign numbers.All I see in the documentation is a way to get the phone numbers attached to an extension. Is the number inventory an extension as well? If so where can i find its ID?Thanks,Hoon

how import contacts into poly 8800 from RC?

is this possible? seems like many poly phones allow this. poly doesn’t seem to allow a way to batch import contacts so instead you must manually enter one by one, but they said to talk to RC because it should be possible for them to be imported from the directory in RC. but...RC has said that it’s not possible because it’s a conference room speakerphone and therefore has no need to have contacts. (news to me and counter to the fact that the second button on the home screen is for Contacts).

Feature: Background Wallpaper, Branding of our Cisco Phones, Custom Provisioning file that doesn't handicap phones

It's very very tacky and annoying RC still insists on uploading it's horrendous logo to our phones that we own. I've been a customer for a few years, this was promised to be fixed, I've seen that the professional services group can initiate this with my account manager, who honestly doesn't seem to care about me asking about this issue or telling me what can't be done..It's one section of a provisioning file. I could easily override it, but I don't feel the need to have to add fancy tricks for something that should be enabled by default. Manual provisioning makes the phones utterly useless, especially since these are cisco 525g2....The service works flawlessly or I'd be changing but this really urks me we are forced to advertise for your service when we are already paying a good amount of money and we own the devices.

Best setup for tracking calls

We have hired a third party vendor to help with call volume. If the vendor receives a call that they cannot handle they will be transferring the call back to us. I have setup Ring Groups and Call Queues, depending on the Department, to facilitate the call routing and have numbers to be assigned. We also want to monitor the amount of calls being sent to us from the vendor. Is it best to add a Custom Rule under Auto-Receptionist or add as a Direct Number to the Ring Group or Call Queue? Is there any difference in the performance or tracking capabilities? When we were installed a few years back the install team used both scenarios but am not sure why. Thank you,

SMS configuration works when tested in the automator, but won't work in real world.

I have a message auto-reply built inside of the automator to send an SMS reply when anyone sends an SMS message containing a certain keyword to our main phone number (successcully registered TCS and campaign) and when I test it from the automator “test” button it works great. Then when I enable it and try the exact same steps no auto-reply happens. I don’t know where else to look or what else to try.. PLEASE HELP! The company is losing patience with the process and has threatened to look to other solutions. I would very much prefer to not do that and start all over.

Logging calls successfully with Bullhorn

Not too long ago we released an enhancement to our Bullhorn integration that allowed users to set the default value of the Bullhorn “Note action.” That new setting looked something like this:Default note actions for Bullhorn usersWhat we discovered recently is that if specify a default note action that is not found in your commentActionList setting, then the call will fail to be logged successfully. Bullhorn is very strict. The default note action is case sensitive. If you find your Bullhorn calls are not being logged successfully, check your note action settings. Meanwhile, we are working to make error messaging better to help users discover this particular problem more easily.

How to upload voicemail prompts for InContact call center

Hello,We have an InContact call center integrated with RingCentral for our enterprise. The prior VOIP admin did not upload the voicemail prompts at the time of inception, this was handled by the project team from RC. I need to update these prompts this weekend but am not entirely sure how to do so. I see an Upload Files entry under the ACD heading, Browse ACD file sub-section, Prompts in the file subsystem but was unsure how to upload the new files, do I just name them the same as the existing prompts or where/how do I choose to use the new prompts?

Numbers ported away but still in contract - No reply from Ringcentral

After being with Ringcentral for over 7 years I was offered a bundled deal for broadband and phones from BT. I checked the RingCentral admin portal and couldn’t see anywhere that I was still in contract.Ringcentral allowed our numbers to be ported to BT (which turns out is actually Ringcentral with a BT logo on it) and did not contact me to make me aware that I was still in contract.When I contacted Ringcentral to close our account I was told that there are still 8 months left with the contract as the contract autorenews for two years. Received no renewal notifciations over the last 7 years.I have sent numerous emails to our account manager and the customer experience team and only received two replies stating there is nothing they can do or why they allowed the numbers to be ported away. They no longer respond to my emails requesting a solution so now we are paying over a £1000 a month for 48 lines that are useless.

Do you support multiple users/logins in the Pipedrive integration?

I am having serious problems with the app. If I log into Pipedrive and connect to my RingCentral number, it asks me to uninstall / install the app on the Pipedrive marketplace. When I do that, it kicks out my coworker from their Pipedrive / RingCentral account and asks them to uninstall/install the app again in the marketplace.This will keep happening. I have 3 Pipedrive logins and 3 RingCentral phone lines, how do I connect all of them?
