Every time I am on the phone using my Voyageur headset with the RingCentral desktop app and another call comes in my current call gets automatically put on hold. It happens after maybe the 2nd or 3rd ring.

What is the difference between call interaction and call segment?

I have a phone number that I use for voice and texting and it goes through RingCentral. I use MyCase case management software and there is an option to use Twilio for text communications. I’m told that I can reprogram the texts sent to my number to forward to the Twilio number. How involved is that process? How long does it take to set things up? Is it something that the customer does, or do we go to our RingCentral rep (Spectrum) to do all that? 

I am looking for a little advice on how to setup a team “A” comprised of all my users that will allow them to request help by typing in a keyword. When the keyword appears in the Team “A” chat, it will send a message to the proper team “B” with the user’s name and message. It wouldn’t be very efficient for the team to have to monitor the entire team “A” chat. I thought that using the @mentions was supposed to send the message to the specified person only, but it only highlights their name… Not very useful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RC EX platform recording inbound/outbound anyway to mask or mute by the user?

I am on the newest version of the RingCentral RCM and am having this error come up when logging calls.

Good afternoon,Recently migrated to RingCentral and users have begun to download both the RingCentral Desktop App and Mobile Apps but there are discrepancies between their views. I can’t find any obvious differences in roles, licenses, etc between the users that would explain the discrepancy. Screenshots below are the user’s RC desktop view versus mine. On the left hand side, they are missing the phone/text/fax options. It’s the same on the mobile app, they are missing phone/text options compared to my own. If anyone’s had this issue before or can explain what the issue is that would be great. Thanks!

I’m on a Mac using the desktop application from RingCentral. I’m using the scan to fax feature using a brother multifunction scanner. The function to scan and fax works well however the recipients receive an extremely poor quality image. My suspicion is that the resolution is low, and this option cannot be altered in any of the settings on the RingCentral app. 

Has anyone found out how to fix the quality of outgoing faxes? I am faxing scanned pdf files and when I send it there is no problem. When I open the confirmation saying it was sent and hit the view button, it is grainy with black dots all over and hard to read. Any suggestions?

I blocked a guest, and our entire thread was deleted. I need to get it back. How do I do that?

We are trying to get rid of the several different conference platforms internally. One use case is a playback feature. Several conference services allow people to call in and listen to a recorded call after the fact with a code. Is this possible or on a request somewhere? I know the creator can download and share a recording, but we just want the voice to be played back when calling in at a later time.

So, I am trying to make a call using my own Primary Number and the post request gets me 200 code but the call is never received on the recipient number. But when I just change the number to organization number, the code from API is 200 and the call is received on the recipient number as well. I tried changing the caller ID to Primary as well but that doesn’t seem to be solving the issue either. The call status turns out to be: Call placed. Call status: InProgress but the call is never received. Any solutions?

I have been a RC user for many years… We have never been able to pick up the phone and press zero and it ring a pre-determined ‘operator’ ext. Has RingCentral made this a thing as of yet? As of right now, a caller (external) can not call a user, hit their voice mail and press zero and reach another (pre-determined) user (or the operators) voice mail… RingCentral has said for years they would be making this very basic and common feature - according to other VoIP Providers a thing - but as far as I know, they have not as of yet? Or have they?

This started last Thursday.  When you call our main number and press the que 1 for appointments, a message plays that the hold time is greater than 60 minutes.  I logged a case, escalated that case, and still have no answer, other than “this is a known issue”.  Well it wasn’t happening before Thursday and I didn’t see anyone posting about it.  Does anyone have any clue how I can fix this.  We are losing so many calls because the customer thinks the hold time is over an hour and it rings through after about 30 seconds but they are abandoning the call.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  This is my first big issue since going live a few months ago and I am less than impressed. 

I bought a business recently.  The business number is now owned by me.  Except the monthly bill currently says the previous owner and owners address.  How do I port in the number?  I have had zero luck getting an answer. 

I work for a County Government agency and most specifically the IT department for that County Government and I support users who use OKTA Verify to obtain One-Time 6-digit Authorization Codes via SMS/Text Messages and are attempting to get our TCR/SMS campaign approved.  We have updated our language in these texts to include options for STOP, START, and HELP all of which have been successfully tested internally and have provided examples of each of these options in our campaign.I have entered multiple tickets with Ring Central TCR Support to try and get our campaign in the most tip-top of shapes before submitting it for approval.  Unfortunately, each time we ask to have our campaign reviewed we are told a that it is not correct and get a different reason each time we go through the review process.  At this time I believe we have everything wrapped up except for a clear definition of what is the appropriate method for obtaining consent in order to get the campaign approved.

Having an issue with our yealink W70p phone (the W70B base and W59rR phone).It was working until today. We have 3 phones for 3 different extensions. Extension 2 goes to cordless phone 1 (W59R- the one phone that is auto provisioned, the other 2 are manually provisioned). The caller cannot hear us but we can hear them. The other 2 phones are not having this issue. I am assuming it has to be some kind of setting with the IP address server or something along those lines. Or maybe a setting on the Admin portal? I could use some help.

Our TCR has been denied 2x now. Do you have direct person for us to work with to get approval? We are doing our diligence to be in compliance with no help and support. Our campaign is not unsolicited We are replying to a request.

I have attempted to get it right since October 10th. I’ve gotten multiple rejections.Finally on December 23, I seem to have gotten it right. I haven’t gotten rejected  I was told to wait 20 business days, and now it seems I’m being told to wait longer. I’ve reached out to the TCR team several times and I’ve even told that it would be escalated. I then waited a week and called again and was told it would be escalated. Then I asked to speak to someone on the “escalation team” and I was told they don’t take calls, but I was given a number to call. the number and email I was given was my account manager who responded to my email by telling me to call the TCR team. This is affecting my business. We aren’t even made aware when a client attempts to text us- we only just found this out a week ago when a client told us they had tried to text us. can someone help! please!

Hello!  Is there a plan to add the AI notes functionality to the API?  For example, being able to enable Notes of a phone call via API, and also to be able to retrieve those notes?  Looking through the API, the only “notes” calls I see are for Messages, but not for phone calls.   Thanks! 

Yesterday at 4:26pm ET, our company's ability to send or respond to "text" messages just stopped. Now, we just get an error message stating "Unable to send message. Sorry this message couldn't be delivered." However, I can still receive messages. And I can still send photos, videos, and docs just not texts. This happened last month in which my account manager stated that I need to add a sms bundle, which I did and that tripled my monthly bill, but now it's not working again.I filled out the TCR application AFTER the issue started yesterday in which my brand is now registered and I'm waiting on the campaign to be approved. However, I'm not certain that this has anything to do with the TCR since I'm able to send photos, videos, and docs without limitation.I have called several times in which no one has an answer for me. No one answers my support tickets. And my account manager, Harold, seems to only get back to me when it&#39

When we dial out there is no sound and we can’t hear if the customer answered or if it went to voicemail. (But sound does come through in the recording) Calls going directly to voicemail on the customers end 

I am working on a call center product which is based on RingCentral queues. I’ve created a queue and assigned it a direct phone number. Now, I am using embeddable widget and I am able to receive and accept calls, so this part is working fine.However, I need to do some calls to my server API based on caller and recipient (direct queue) phone numbers and this is where I have issues. I am using event listener which is looking for a message with following type:rc-active-call-notify Most of the time it works fine, but sometimes this event is just not being fired, even though I do receive a call and can accept it without any issue.Also, if I just wait on the line, I can actually see that call is being “reset” (I see in browser console Event: Rejected and then Event: Terminated entries, the widget blinks as if it was re-rendered, but the call will still keep on ringing) and after that I do see rc-active-call-no

Is there a way to have the IVR selection show up with the Caller ID when using the RingCentral Salesforce Integration? 

I just spoke to the Ring Central helpline after attempting to text a PDF document. Helpline claims we should be able to text a PDF, however it's now allowing me to do so. I can text a PNG and a JPEG, but otherwise the options are "grayed out" on my laptop, or a pop up message says "this format is not supported." They mentioned issues like overage on our texting, or the PDF having an issue like a virus, both of which don't make sense. Please clarify if this is possible. Thank you!!
