My problem is that none of my employees like the Ringcentral for Salesforce app. Why? Because if they are in the middle of setting up a case or job or opportunity and the phone rings it changes to the incoming contact page and they lose all their work. Is their a way to set it up so a call opens a NEW tab with the contact?

Hello Joe,

The admin on the Salesforce account can go into the Softphone Layout Settings and edit the layout. You will want to select the option underlined below:

This solved my problem. There are several interesting and helpful setting on this layout page. Worth customizing.

This feature no longer appears to work - at least in lightning. We have the screen pops set to New browser window or tab, but it is still changing the current tab to the new record. It is quite frustrating!

This is disappointing that it does not open on a new windows under lightning.

This is a salesforce limitation. I would recommend you comment on their ideas-exchange as we agree this was something users wanted. https://success.salesforce.com/ideasearch

Hello Simon, 
Salesforce Lightning is supposed to be used within in a single browser tab since there are model windows within a single tab unlike classic where you keep multiple tabs open for multiple entities. My comment is pretty old, we used to have links for matching results on call log on the old versions of the app but not anymore.  Any specific question or concern we can answer for you ?

The RingCentral for Lightning app has several issues if users have multiple tabs open. The Related To drop down menu will not populate any records for the browser tab which answered the call, but this drop down menu will be populated in any other open Salesforce Lightning tab (but for whatever record page that tab has loaded). Having the records populate the related list based on the most recently active browser window could solve this issue.

Hello James,

Based on the details you provided, I believe you are encountering an expected behaviour of the App.
The Call Match is being pulled based on the entity you have navigated to which varies between different browser tabs. Looks like in your call scenario there is no match for an entity based on the phone number. This is an expected behaviour. We could consider enhancing the App to reflect the record based on the latest navigated tab which would need us to do technical and business feasibility analysis.

If you believe that there should be records matched based on phone number and it does not show up correctly, please open a RingCentral support case.

Hello - we are new to RingCentral and just discovered the same problem with the Salesforce integration.  If we have the screenpop on, our users will lose their work by answering an incoming call. There is no link for the user to use.  The RingCentral for Salesforce Lightning Admin guide includes instructions for opening in a new tab vs. existing.  But if I'm reading this correctly, that actually is not possible?  So what are the options for using this salesforce app? Either users losing their work or having no screen pops aren't good options.  Are there other choices?  Thank you!
