Unlocking the Power of Workflow Builder: Dive into the Webinar Replay with Byrne Reese and Transform Your Workflow!

Thank you to everyone who attended our recent webinar! We received a lot of great questions, and while we couldn't answer them all live, we’ve compiled responses to the most frequently asked ones here. Workflow Builder David - Is there an AI assistant available for auto SMS replies? There will be soon! When composing an auto-reply in the settings of the RingCentral desktop application, you’ll soon have access to an AI assistant that can help generate and refine SMS messages. Stay tuned for updates! Hilary - We don’t currently use SMS in RingCentral or record calls. Does this mean Workflow Builder has no use case for us? Currently, Workflow Builder is primarily focused on SMS use cases, so you may not find an immediate use case. However, we’re actively expanding its capabilities to support broader functions beyond SMS. A global release is planned for late May or early June, which will include additional functionality. Follow the Workflow Builder community for updates. Teresa - Can Workf

Experiencing SMS send failures? What customers need to know about TCR/ SMS registration requirements.

If your business is being blocked from sending SMS messages, then you could be out of compliance with carrier SMS registration requirements. On February 3, 2025, aggregators operating on behalf of US mobile carriers began enforcing the blocking of unregistered outbound SMS traffic. This blocking affects non-mobile originating business SMS providers across the industry. Since 2022, mobile carriers have required businesses sending non-mobile originating SMS to register their brand and SMS use case (campaign). This includes completing registration through their service provider (CSP), meeting strict requirements set by mobile carriers and Direct Connect Aggregators (DCAs), and receiving approval from the mobile carriers to send messages to consumers on their mobile network. This registration requirement is part of the efforts being taken by the mobile carriers to prevent unwanted messaging. Failure to comply with these requirements means that a business will have their SMS traffic blocked

Understanding SMS/Text Messaging Opt-Out Management in RingCentral

Managing SMS/text messaging communication with customers is crucial for maintaining a healthy and compliant messaging strategy. If you're using RingCentral for sending business SMS, understanding how to manage SMS opt-outs is important for keeping your communications respectful and legally compliant. What is SMS Opt-Out? An SMS opt-out allows a recipient to stop receiving text messages from a specific sender. It is a mechanism required by law to ensure that customers have control over the messages they receive. When a customer opts out, they are essentially choosing not to receive any further messages from your number. Ensuring you respect these requests is not only a best practice but also mandatory under various regulations such as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). How Opt-Out Works in RingCentral RingCentral has built-in features to help businesses manage opt-out requests automatically. Here’s a quick breakdown: Automatic Opt-Out Handling : RingCentral automatically proc
