I’ve recently transition from Windows to MacOS and wish to know how to replicate the ability to call a highlighted number as I was able to on my Windows device. I’ve tried various searches and suggestions, but nothing works. 

Hi All,I’m looking for a better way to configure User Groups so that managers can view analytics for the employees who report directly to them. In some cases, multiple managers need access to the same set of users.Is there an easy way to achieve this, or do I need to create separate User Groups for each manager even though the users are identical? Ideally, I’d like to have a single User Group with multiple managers assigned.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Many thanks,Jacob

Having a different ring when a call comes directly to their phone, vs when it is comes through the mainline number that has a call que set up to go to multiple different people? (i.e. if someone were to call my direct line or my extension directly as opposed to calling the main business number that has a call que set for it to ring to four different people until someone answers it so that we would by the different type of ring?

Hi I have a couple of agents who primarily make outbound calls, each time they complete one they are put back into an Available state, regardless of the state they were in prior to making the call. Is it possible to create an agent state that will remain active while they make outbound calls?

When customers call any of my number a recorded greeting is played, that identifies our company and notifies the caller that calls are recorded, to keep us in compliance with federal law. I’m using the Custom Rules in my Call Handling Settings to Forward Calls to an External number.The number I forward to also has a recorded greeting. The problem I have is that once the call is transferred to that External number BOTH recorded greeting play over top of each other.How can I set it up so that my greeting is played again when the transfer occurs? Thank You!Brian RingEX User

Is there a way once a call is successfully forwarded to an external number for RingCentral to “drop/end” the call on its end?Once our call is forwarded, it’s handled by a different phone system. And RingCentral recording the calls and/or keeping on the line is redundant and costing extra money. Thanks,Nicole

We are new to RingCentral and can't figure out how to solve this. We are using the queue calls aspect so anyone can answer any call coming in to our main line from their desk phone throughout the building. The problem is that it general calls also ring the mobile app when employees are on the road. We only want direct calls to ring the app as well as their desk phone. Our previous company we had to switch from to RingCentral had this capability. RingCentral, which is supposedly far superior to our previous company surely must be able to do this as well. Right? I get yelled at 3x's a day because I can not figure out how to resolve this issue so employees aren't getting general calls on their cellphone. Please help!

How can i get our incoming faxes to extrapolate specific data into an excel spreadsheet on my google drive?  I tried the zapier app and i keep getting error messages.  

We would like to maintain a daily backup of our call recordings in our own Egnyte drive for backup and compliance purposes.Could you please advise on the available options to automatically export or sync call recordings from RingCentral to an external storage platform such as Egnyte on a daily basis?If there are any native integrations, APIs, or recommended third-party tools to achieve this, please share the details along with any limitations or prerequisites.Looking forward to your guidance.

HUD RingCentral Contacts are intermittently missing after being created in RingCentral the day before.

How do I minimize the amount of time calls are in queue before an Available agent is able to answer. During peak times I have agents in Available, multiple calls holding (in queue), but the call takes more than 2 mins to land on the line. What setting needs to be changed?

How long does it typically take? I''ve added numbers and they have been sitting in Setup in Progress for 3 days. I have others that were ready almost immediately.

User is trying to add the app to his cell phone and it sends the email to activate, but the link is always expired already.

Have stumbled across one of our users with a unique problem. User has access to view an inbox where voicemails are left in Ring CX.This inbox displays the VM as a separate link the user will then click on to actually hear the VM. When the user clicks this link a new browser tab is opened and they are prompted to log in again to Ring CX. This turns into a loop where every time the user goes to access the VM they are just asked to log in again. Looking for suggestions on how we can solve this, expected behaviour is that it opens the new tab and just starts playing the VM, it does this for me and our others users. 

Has anyone gotten his working? Ring Central simply says “You got Disconnected”The Firewall has a Port Forward rule setup.IPs indicated by Ring Central are part of the whitelist group allowed on that Port Forward.The QNAP has the QFTP app running.Bonus - I can connect from my home (when I whitelist my home IP) to the QFTP server.I have confirmed QFTP is using a current cipher:debug2: KEX algorithms: curve25519-sha256, [removed by moderator] ,ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group16-sha512,diffie-hellman-group18-sha512,diffie-hellman-group14-sha256,ext-info-c, [removed by moderator]

We can send faxes out but we cannot receive faxes. We have been on Ring Central for one week,

My direct phone number and direct fax number are the same. Is there a setting to make incoming faxes go to someone else when I'm on vacation?

I am getting a 404 when calling the createCall function from the sdk, and same thing when I hit post directly. only thing I can think is callContol isnt ready, or because Im using a softphone device its offline // already logged in,      await rcsdk.platform().post('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/telephony/call-out', {                from: { deviceId: device.id },                to: { phoneNumber: phoneNumber }            })            // callControl.createCall(device.id, { phoneNumber: phoneNumber }).then((newSession) => {            //     this.callSession = newSession;                           // })

When figuring the total # of inbound calls to call queues and # answered, is the Business Analytics Queues dashboard or Performance Reports / Queues the most accurate?  These 2 reports show different #'s - which is the most accurate / most true?  And why do these #'s vary between the 2?

I’m hoping someone else has run into this because RingCentral support has been completely useless.We’ve been using RingCentral with Google Workspace for over a year. Our contacts sync between RingCentral and Google Contacts without any issues. Then suddenly, starting this week, everything broke.The issueAny time we try to: Create a new contact in RingCentral Edit an existing Google-synced contact We get this error:“Sorry, something went wrong on our end and we weren't able to save the contact. Try again later.” This happens: On desktop app On mobile app On multiple devices On multiple users So it’s clearly not a device or browser issue.What we’ve already testedWe’ve done all the usual troubleshooting: Disconn

I work for corporate with 3 companies, they’re looking for a way to divide up the invoicing per company so that the invoicing is paid per company and not to one central corporate bank account. Is there any way to do this in RingCentral? Or does anyone have a better idea I could use to implement what is being asked? Much appreciated for help provided!

We want to be able to select differet outgoing numbers for different types of calls. Need an easy way to select at phone. We used to use a dial prefix (ie- 7, 8, 9) to select. 

We have been experiencing SMS delays for the past 2 months now. Usually starting around 10AM CST our driver's messages start getting delayed by 15 mins up to over an hour. Some messages that were sent later are received 1st creating very confusing communications.  Anyone else experiencing the same issue? Tech support hasn't been much help as they themselves haven’t figured out what is causing the delays. The majority of the delays have come from contractors who utilize T-mobile, AT&T and at least one on the Verizon network.

I had a question. Is there a sort order for the messages listed from the message store? Will it automatically show the latest first? I was looking at the docs (https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference/Message-Store/listMessages), but couldn’t find any specific information about it. Thank you.
