Shared text line

My company has a need for outside users (non Ring Central numbers) to text a common number as a "help" line to speak with a technician. The problem I have is I need this to be setup similar to a shared inbox. Meaning, a text comes in, a number of defined technicians see it, first available responds. I would like the response to come from the "help line" number, not the individual number of the tech who responded.

Is this possible?

We don't have this kind of setup available for SMS. The operator extension is the only user who can text from the main number.

Hello Mary,


Have we made any progress around the shared text feature? My company and I are wanting to utilize this feature if it is something that is now available. Please let me know. Thank you much!
