Q1 Newsletter
Quarter one is in the books for 2022! Read on for some RingCentral highlights from the past three months as we cover implemented ideas, resources from the RingCentral blog, three of our favorite app integrations, and a quick overview of our latest release notes.
From the Community Team
Community friends,
It’s been an unusual first quarter. While our focus is on supporting customers and making sure you have everything you need to be successful, on the periphery is the challenging situation in Ukraine and the people who are struggling daily.
We hope you’re taking good care of yourselves and those you care about most.
Q1 had lots of cool product developments and there is a lot more to come as we swiftly move into Q2. We’ll keep you updated on all of it here or in the Ideas Portal. Click HERE to explore the Ideas Portal and leave your best and brightest ideas, feature requests, and improvements. The sky's the limit!
We’ll be talking up a lot more resources via the App Gallery and we encourage you to browse integrations that might be just what you need to address pain points your team has. There is a wealth of time savers and solutions that you might be missing out on! Take a tour of the App Gallery HERE.
At times like this, it’s important to lean on each other and show support where we can! If you see a fellow user with a challenge that you know the answer to, please leave a comment, an answer, friendly advice, or an encouraging word.
We appreciate you!
Looking forward,
Becky Hensley
Senior Manager - Community and Social Media
