Tuesday Tip: Send Your Faxes Directly to Those Who Need to See Them

 | Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at 6:33 pm 

Did you know RingCentral customers can segregate faxes by receiving fax number – and send them to different Call Controllers, account inboxes and notification email addresses?

If you have extensions on your RingCentral account, go to the My Settings tab. Under the Extension column, click on the link to choose the extension where you would like to receive the faxes for that number. For example, say you’d like to send faxes for fax number (888) 999-7777 to extension 7777. All you need to do is click on the link under the extension column to choose 7777. Apply the same procedure to the next fax number to assign it to its own extension.

Once assigned to their respective extensions, faxes will be separated by fax number and received:

  • Through the Call Controllers on different PCs logged in to their respective extension;
  • In the online account messages inbox logged in to their respective extension; and
  • Into the respective email address/es indicated on the notification settings page (from the My Settings tab, Notifications Settings link) for the assigned extension.

Unfortunately, those with fax-only plans and no extensions, will not be able to set up this feature. If you currently have a fax-only plan, you may explore the option of upgrading online to a voice-and-fax plan with free extensions at any time. Simply click on the My Settings tab Service Plan link, followed by the Change Service Plan link. If you need additional details prior to upgrading your account, you may also call Sales at (800) 574-5290 between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Pacific time, Mondays through Fridays.

    I just got off the phone with customer support and was told this can not be done. This and tranfer between virtual extensions is a big issue for my ofice and my clients. Does this cahnge only apply to the new call center and all of us that signed up last year are stuck until they update our accounts?

    Why did using a foward rule like (xxx)xxx-xxxx * 1004 stop working this was a great help to setting up forward rules to co-workers.
