Is it possible to automate SMS texting on RC phones?

Is there any RingCentral API that allows SMS texting to be automated for RC users through an integration? If not, does anyone know if RingCentral is working on this? It would be awesome feature for RC business - to integrate with Office 365 or google calendar to send automated text messages as appointment reminders to customers.

Yes, I am quite sure something like this can be done with the RingCentral API.  You will need to hire a developer or become one to get it working though :)

Yes, as Brandon rightly suggested you could build this own integration for yourself or we also do provide an offering to build Integrations at a cost ( we have a team who could build the integration )


If you would like to be connected with the team, kindly email us with the necessary details to the developer support team or submit a support ticket.

Hi @David Cardona. Yes, our firm has resolved this issue. We now use a scheduling software that automates SMS reminders for all client meetings.
