Is there a report in Analytics that shows how long an agent leaves a caller on hold during an active call?

RingCentral APIs are designed to be used and tested directly in the production environment. There is no technical requirement for a separate sandbox or test environment in order to explore or integrate with the APIs.If you'd prefer to isolate development activity, using a separate developer account is an option. Whether or not to do this is entirely up to your personal preference or your organization's policies. Some developers choose to create separate accounts for development and production use cases, while others use a single account for both.This streamlined approach allows for faster iteration and eliminates the complexity and requirement of managing different environments for testing and production, unless you want to. Historical NoteIn December of 2024, RingCentral retired its developer sandbox environment. This change gre

It recently came to my attention when I spoke with a manager at RingCentral that they do not offer a spam flag remediation service for their numbers as other similar companies do. We would pay for this extra service as part of our plan if it was available. With this service, RingCentral would monitor numbers and pro-actively negotiate with carriers to remove spam flags. They would also use analytics to discover issues with answer rates. We are a small company and it is very important that we keep our main business line free of spam flags. This service is essential and I’m very surprised that it is not offered.

Hi all, I've been working on a fairly standard "forward inbound SMS to an external system" integration and have hit a wall I can't find documented anywhere. Looking for guidance.SetupRingCentral account with 3 extensions total (2 user extensions (x101, x106) and 1 call queue, main account/auto-receptionist (x111)) Business SMS Booster license active, assigned to x101 A TCR-registered, SMS-enabled phone number is assigned as the direct number of a call queue extension x111 (company number, no user assigned) The call queue's SMS Recipients is set to a user extension (x101) x101 is also a call queue manager Auto-Receptionist > Call/Fax/SMS Recipients also lists User (x101) as the SMS Recipient, x111 as the operator, x111 as the Fax recipient JWT-authenticated as a super admin with x101’s account (super admin) App permissions: Read Accounts, Read Messages, SMS,

Can anyone clarify what the billing period is for SMS?  I’m trying to zero in on what we are actually using and what we are paying for.  I was originally told it was from the beginning of the month to the end of the month but the math didn’t match up.  This month I have been taking screenshots of the Usage page for the past several days at different points during the day.  As of last night, 4/29, usage was pulling from my SMS Bundle and “Included SMS Usage” Available was $0.00.  When I went to a screenshot this morning the “Included SMS Usage” had refreshed along with the SMS Bundle. In looking at last month’s invoice the SMS Bundle Start Date was 3/29 with an End Date of 4/28.  If the End Date was 4/28 then why was the usage still being pulled from the SMS Bundle on 4/29 and “Included SMS Usage” still at $0.00 Available. The SMS log is not helpful since it just gives times and dates.

When I did my onboarding, I was told that there were "no rules" (or guidance) for what info can/should be entered into a CSV file to upload to the knowledge hub but even after 2 weeks the AI is not able to correctly respond to information I’ve uploaded to the knowledge hub.

Hi Everyone, I have Mitel 485G phones and we use RingCentral. A few months back, I was following this guide to set up my phones in RC. These steps are no longer working for me. After I set the configuration server, the phone reboots and hits me with a “no service” message.  Does anyone know of any other ways to add the phone to RC? Thank you. 

Hi RingCentral Team,I am implementing SMS functionality using RingCentral REST API with JWT authentication (server-to-server app).Environment:JWT authentication flow Existing number available under Admin → Phone System → Phone Numbers Number assigned to a Softphone extensionIssue:When sending SMS via API, I receive:“Phone number doesn't belong to extension”This happens even though the phone number exists in the account and is active.Questions:Is SMS sending restricted to phone numbers assigned only to the authenticated JWT extension? Can existing numbers be reused across multiple extensions for SMS sending? What is the correct way to bind or select an existing phone number as a valid SMS sender for JWT-based API usage? Is there any configuration required to enable this use case without purchasing a new number?Goal:

Hello, Currently to access the DND function you need to go to settings and then to phone rules. For something we need to access multiple times a day it would be far more convenient if we could make a button for the home screen. The warning that appears when DND is active is very convenient.Thank you. 

Hi everyone,I’m working on a custom integration using RingCentral and would like to implement an AI note-taker feature within the RingCentral dialer.My goal is to:- Add a toggle button (Start/Stop AI Notetaker) during a call- Capture the call recording and/or transcript- Generate AI-based notes (summary, key points, action items)- Automatically save these notes into a CRM history recordI would like guidance on the best approach for this:1. Does RingCentral provide APIs for real-time or post-call transcription and AI summaries?2. Is it recommended to use RingCentral’s native AI capabilities, or integrate external services for transcription and summarization?3. What is the best way to hook into call events (start/end) to trigger this workflow?4. Are there any sample implementations or best practices for syncing AI-generated notes to a CRM?Any insights, documentation, or examples would

Having trouble assigning delegates, I get a message stating that “You have no assigned delegates. Please contact your administrator for assistance.” But for the delegator, I have gone into Presence, under Permissions and checked the box for the user under “Select users permitted to answer my calls:”Under that delegate, I have checked the box for “Enable me to pick up a monitored line on hold”But going back to the delegator and selecting the Delegates option, it gives the error message above.Am I missing a step here or doing something incorrect?

Hello,  Can you tell me if RC AI Notes can be programmed to detect keywords that would then prompt an end user to pause the conversation, so we are compliant per PCI DDS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)? 

Our AI Receptionist is gathering information from the customers (e.g. name, email) We didn’t ask her to, but that’s what she’s doing.    That information is not being passed along to a human.  I called support and they said the only way to see the information is to log into the portal and go call by call in the call log to see if there is anything that needs to be addressed.According to support there are no integrations (e.g Zapier) for the AI handled called.   This seems to make the whole system useless to me.  With customer information going into a black hole, we will have upset customers who think they left a message but did not receive a response.Amy I mssing something?   Has someone found a solution on how to handle the information gathered?

I am trying to add a user to the SMS campaign (It has been Approved).  Sometimes it will add them, and it says “Setup in Progress,” but as soon as I do anything they drop out of the list and my user count goes from 33 to 32.  Most of the time, however, when I click Add, nothing happens at all.  I am not sure if the UI isn’t working correctly and my user is being added, but I am not being patient enough, or if there is a problem and the action just keeps getting terminated.  It shows in the log that I am adding someone, but they are not in the list, and definitely unable to send/receive text messages.  Soooo, any tips, or further insight anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

I has just found out about text messages getting deleted after 5000. So set up archiver. Issue seems it archives only texts that were made after archive was set up. Is there no option to backup old texts before they get deleted? Can i archive all texts that still exist on Ring central app?  Thanks

 All users currently have call recording enabled for inbound, outbound, and ACR calls. However, we’ve noticed that some calls are not being recorded. I’ve reviewed the settings for all users and call queues, and recording is enabled across the board.We’ve also observed that transferred calls are often not recorded. In these cases, a transcript appears to exist, but the recording itself cannot be accessed.Additionally, some users attempting to manually start recording during outbound calls via the keypad receive an error message stating, “Sorry, we are unable to record the call.”Could you please advise on why this may be happening and whether there is a workaround to ensure all calls are consistently recorded?

Are others experiencing situations where messages appear to send, but either fail later or never reach the recipient—and you only find out after the fact? How are you giving your teams confidence that a message was actually delivered and seen? Paul ZylaPartners in Excellence - pzyla@partnersmn.com

Using the “get Company Call Records” and not seeing recipientextensionNumber.  We are attempting to filter calls that route through the AutoReceptionist, then through a user with a specific firstName description.  We want to then “marry” all call legs associated with that single call and then take that session ID and pull that call log into a separate bucket.   We have many different sites in our RingCentral tenant that all have different work hours, so we want to “tag” a call by using a User that has AFTERHOURS in its firstName. Very new to the API world... 

Previously there was a voice recording of a conversation, now it is not showing. How can I retrieve it?

Hi support team, How can I identify the abandoned calls in RingCentral Integration with Salesforce? I can see the call data has been recorded in the Task and Activity objects in Salesforce. It seems like the “Call Type” in Task. What are the unique values that RingCentral populates for this field? Currently I see:Answered Connected Disconnected Hung up Missed No Answer Wrong NumberAre these all available values? Any other values that RingCentral Integration could populate? Is there any guidance or reference? Thank you

I have taken over this account from my ex-business partner (I had him legally removed from the company). I must lower costs and have switched to a cheaper cell phone service. From what I understand I still have another year under my contract that I didn’t even realize I had (this was his account, not mine). Is there any way out of this contract without the $1800+ early term fee? I am honestly considering bankruptcy and giving up, but this is a last resort. My business is my lifelong dream, and I don’t want to throw away everything because my ex-business partner is an a$$.Any assistance would be appreciated. Customer service will only offer a change order to lower costs until the end of the contract, in which still needs to be approved. I really can’t afford to keep any monthly bills that are not necessary, or I will have no choice to close. 

On 4/20, RingCentral desk phones unexpectedly started showing coworkers’ call status. The issue was mitigated by setting “Allow other users to see my Presence status” to Off. What caused this behavior to change without prior notice?

We would like to set up certain physical IP phones with dual handsets so that a doctor and patient can converse with a remote language interpreter.  We were able to do this by putting a splitter on the handset jack with our legacy phones, but when we use existing or bought-new-to-test RJ9/10/22-type splitters on our Yealink phones we’re noticing that the far, interpreter, end can barely hear either the doctor or patient.  We do have a number of other solutions available - specialized hardware from our interpreter services vendor, and iPads configured to video chat with the interpreter service.  In many locations, the use of the iPads or a speakerphone are not appropriate due to the need to protect patient medical privacy.  In certain locations, the physicians prefer a standard IP phone over the vendor’s.Has anyone out there ni the community had to do th
