My business has used Ring Central for our toll-free number service for many years. In the past few months, we have been getting increasing numbers of robo calls. These calls (with no person on the other end) are answered, and the company greeting is played instructing the caller to push the appropriate extension. The robo caller obviously does not push an extension, and the company greeting plays a second time before disconnecting a process that takes about 2-1/2 minutes. We are now receiving approximately 45 robo calls per day, so that is about 112 toll free minutes we are charged for in one day. We are billed by RingCentral for the additional minutes over our plan. These calls are coming from all different numbers that have the caller ID spoofed. When we have tried to call back some of these numbers, we get some people to answer and they always have no idea about us and didnt make the call. I wondered why would someone take the time to program hundreds of robo calls to just call o

Anyone know how to easily cancel a RingCentral account?  I’ve grown tired of their terrible support.  

Just seeing if there is any new information in Ring Central about stopping robo and spam calls. We have some users that just a ton of them even though I toggled on the ‘robo-call’ setting. I know everyone has to deal with this, but just curious if there were any updates. 

Hello All, Apologies for the verbose title but I wanted it to articulate my companies issue clearly. Here is what's happening:Our company integrates with RC for many of our customers in order to obtain and track their telephony data. To accomplish this, we create webhook subscriptions for each account on behalf of a user from the account. The issue with this approach is that when that user leaves, a new user must authenticate with RC and thus, another subscription is created. The new webhook subscription itself is not the issue but rather, the old subscription which isn't deleted. Since the old subscription was made by a user we no longer track in our system, we cannot view or delete the old subscription via the RC API (https://platform.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/subscription). Is there a way for us to be able to view all webhook subscriptions for an

My Windows app freezes completely and quitting and restarting doesn't help. I have to actually launch a Task Manager and kill the app and then restart it. By freeze what I mean is, tapping on anything on the app has no response. This seems to occur when I switch WiFi network, although I am not 100% certain. Has anyone seen this? It is pretty annoying! Now I have a work around it is not a blocking issue, but it seems like a bug.I also notice, when I "quit" the app from the menu, there are still RingCentral processes lingering when I look at Task Manager.

Hi folks!I’ve created a webhook subscription using this API: https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference/Subscriptions/createSubscriptionEverything worked fine, I’m receiving needed events in my webhook but then I decided to delete that webhook, first wanted to see the list of webhooks created using this API: https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference/Subscriptions/listSubscriptionsbut got empty array:Then noticed I receive this kind of JSON when receiving events in my webook:

We have a number of teams , Sales, Marketing, Delivery. I want to have the option to dig down into those teams to transfer a call or to see the status. Is there a way to do this?

I have spent countless hours on the phone with support just to add an option to workflow studio for our IVR options.  If the caller presses ‘2’, I want the call transferred to an external number.  Is that really so hard to do that even RC support is unable to do this?  Is there someone on this thread I can pay to help me support this monstrosity of a phone system? We are a fam med clinic and no one in our area supports Ring Central so by default, that lands on me.  I am willing to pay for help!  Thanks.  

I am trying to generate a report for a message only extension to find out how many calls come through that line. This report will be run on a weekly basis.

I’m looking for a solution to the issue described here:When I get a call from a call queue if I click "Ignore Call" on my desktop app the Incoming Call screen goes away and then pops right back up a few seconds later.There must be a way to make this happen, right? My idea is to create fake users to put at the end of my fixed order call queue. That way when my actual users have hit ignore, the fake extensions will “ring” one by one until the maximum wait time is reached (so in my case, 3 rings/15 seconds per fake user, 1 minute timeout, I would have 4 fake users so that I can ensure the call never circles back to my actual users). This obviously isn’t an elegant solution and would consume 4 licenses (not cool), has anyone found a better way of making this happen using Ring Central’s existing features?

We have turned on incoming call recording for most of our extensions.  We excluded a few extensions (executives).  But when these executives call other extensions, they are recorded since incoming calls to that extension are set to record.  How can we exclude certain extensions to never be recorded, even when calling other extensions that are set to record incoming calls?  We are also fine with recording ONLY incoming calls from external sources and excluding all internal calls.  But a Ring Central FAQ said this is not possible.  I realize there is an option to only record call queues, but this isn’t enough since many calls are direct and don’t go through a queue.  I’m confident there are other companies that want to exclude certain people from being recorded from all calls.  How do they achieve this?

All of a sudden, after working fine, when I turn on video in RC it turns the video container all one color with no buttons or controls.My camera works fine by itself, and works fine in other applications. 

We have made some changes to our office layout and have removed four boardrooms that previously had Limited Extensions.How do I remove the four Limited Extensions that are no longer required?

Clio is one of the most popular cloud case management systems for attorneys. Vonage, Nextiva, Smith ai and jive (and the list is growing) all have integrations that will log calls, messages and time entries into Clio. Why none from RC? RC customers will be leaving if RC can't adopt this much-needed integration.

How do I create a detailed call report showing calls from the prior day with the messages left and what extension they were sent to? 

hi I am new to RingCentral but I have some programming experience. I have an auto repair shop and I just got RingCentral account with two VoIP numbers. I’m trying to open up customer information form when call comes in. I have a small listener python program running on my machine with ngrok set up I’m having trouble connecting or setting up the web event onto central side I would appreciate if somebody would guide me through thank you so much

I had RingCentral set up so that when we received a fax it auto printed. I got a new computer with Win 11 Pro, reinstalled RC and now I cannot find an option to auto print. I have consulted with 2 different RC reps, neither of which could figure out what is wrong. One rep I spoke with said on his version RC had that option, so my guess is they took out the auto print feature? I am running 23.3.23.8166 Windows (x64). Any ideas?

How secure is it to send PII across SMS texting?

My desk phone is no longer ending a phone call when I hang the receiver up. The call remains live and I have to manually press the end call button on the phone’s display screen. Has anyone experienced this and how do I fix it? I’ve looked in all of the settings on the phone and in the admin account. Help!

When I tap a call link in Chrome, RingCentral is opening and making the call. I am using the RingCentral app on my cell phone. Prior to a couple of months ago, call links were opening my native phone app. This is my personal cell phone and RingCentral is for work. I do not want RingCentral opening call links. I have Googled this issue and followed so many instructions. Nothing is correcting this issue. In RingCentral, I turned off the open supported links option (now I have an annoying pop up on the app every time it opens). Suggestions?

Just getting started with ringcentral and have not been able to send or receive faxes yet.We have 3 main numbers with 2 set as rollover and the third also set as our fax number as used in the past. thanks for any input. Chuck

Our organization heavily uses Microsoft Teams for calls/meetings. We are in the process of moving to Ringcentral using the Ringcentral App on the same computer as Microsoft Teams. When someone is on a Microsoft Teams call/meeting and receive a Ringcentral call and answers it, the other people on the Teams call/meeting hear the Ringcentral user’s side of the Ringcentral call conversation. It doesn’t put the Microsoft Teams call on hold. How do we get this to not happen?

We have TCR approval and the text messages get sent eventually. In the morning text messages get sent right away. Seems it gets more delayed as day goes on. They go through but 5 or 10 or 30 minutes later. There is no sign in the app that anything is wrong the text show as sent. Works fine next morning.Incoming  text comes through right  away at all times. Any help would be appreciated

Customers are telling us when we call them the Caller ID is showing as possible Spam.  How do we fix this?Update - we had one office that was set to a new company number.  We changed it to the site number to eliminate this issue.  The site number was an existing DID transferred in the conversion.

We’ve got an approved SMS campaign for some emergency alerting going on with the company I support. We’ve got one designated DID that all messages are slated to come from, but a total of 7 employees who will need access to that DID to send messages in the event of an emergency. What’s the best practice or what are folks using out there to provide access to a single DID for multiple parties within the RingCentral tenant?
