We currently have SSO login to RC setup using Okta/SAML and when users click the RC app link on the Okta web portal it auto logins (using IdP SAML flow) and takes the user to RC Web Admin/My Extension portal. What I would like to do is add a new bookmark link on Okta/SSO web portal to allow users to auto login to app.ringcentral.com web app, does anyone have an idea if that is possible? Maybe with a specially crafted link (ex: "https://app.ringcentral.com/sso/login?email=<user email address>" or something similar)?

Text message is not going through

I set up an automated reply for our main office number, but it doesn’t seem to be working. How do I get help to make this work?  Thanks

Anyone having issues with call monitoring the past few weeks? Nothing has changed on our end and we have correct permissions - we cannot monitor calls. It tells us we don't have permission when we do. It has never been perfect when it comes to monitoring but this is just horrific. Tech support has not been able to help after 3 un-successful calls.

We’ve been looking at Branded Calling and was wondering if anyone in the Community has has any experience with it and if it actually helps with call pickup ratio and/or RingCentral numbers being flagged as “Potential Spam”.Thank you  

Hi!I write to say, ‘thank you Hiro’ and commend him on what was quite a long call this afternoon.You have an amazing employee in Hiro. He was so patient, professional, friendly and with an exceptional manner and tone right throughout the call. I was able to achieve and understand more in this one call than in the two and a half years I have tried to get help from your organisation via different forums.Hiro has such a passion to not only represent your company well, but to know your products and services with such confidence to respond to your clients with such efficiency and affirmation when I was able to implement and understand benefits and potential.Please acknowledge Hiro on my/our behalf. Thank you,LillyannCAPS Coolgardie  

Does RingCentral offer an AI Agent for SMS text messages that could intelligently respond to inbound text messages?

How do I operate my landline RingCentral desk phone?  I can’t seem to find instructions anywhere.

Does anyone know how to remove the Intercom and Page keys from the display screen.  They were gone with our previous phone service but we can’t figure out to remove them since converting to RingCentral.  Thanks!

I need to speak with someone who can help me understand the rejection reasons for our application. I looked up the codes, but I still don’t understand the issue. I don’t think the application is adequately explaining our use case. Who can I speak with? I’d like to help above the level one support offered via the SMS hotline. It seems like we’re close, but I don’t want to guess and go back and forth with multiple attempts. 

Hi , anyone who can share what tools or site we can use to count actual segment of a text message , though we can see the segment on the exported report we want to first hand check how many characters are in an actual message before our users send them.See sample below.https://messente.com/sms-length-calculator 

I am familiar with how to forward calls with custom rules and while on the line. However I have users that need to forward their calls to external numbers when they leave the office, which could be at any time. I was informed by support there was no way to do this so I am coming here for a solution.

I need incoming callers to hear the phone ringing.  Then I want the receptionist to answer the ringing phone.  My customers are just getting dead space so they are all hanging up.  I want them to hear the ring, we answer the phone and then transfer to the appropriate extension.  If the receptionist does not answer the phone on the 4th ring then I would like the phone to go to voicemail.  I get everything figured out and then one day it just changes all by itself.

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

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. 

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’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 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?

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
