Click to dial using Desktop App and automatically changing outbound ID based on customers location


Forum|alt.badge.img

We are using the legacy RingCentral Phone App and RingOut to automatically change the outbound ID based on a field lookup in Dynamics CRM. We are using a rest API for this. Does anyone know if this is possible to do with the RingCentral Desktop App rather than continuing to use the legacy Phone App?

This is a response I had from RingCentral Development team, almost 2 years ago:

“After reviewing the data, we found out such feature functionality isn't possible on Jupiter ( RC APP) in its present release . So, for now, those who need this functionality will need to stay on Spartan ( RC PHONE).”

There is a project presently underway named ‘Jupiter SIP project’ (using Spartan as the headless SIP client).  Kevin is researching with his team whether this development would provide the needed functionality to the RC APP

Unfortunately, that is still the current limitation of the /ring-out API.

are there any possible alternatives to achieve the same result?

Using the uri scheme is the easiest way to support click-to-dial. But unfortunately, you can set the caller Id with this approach. I was thinking of using this API to set the caller Id dynamically but it seems to be complicated for this click-to-dial approach.
