Park locations - Ring back on phone after specified interval

  • Account type  (U.S., Canada, UK,  AT&T, Telus, BT):  US
  • A brief description of the business:  Engineering
  • A high level description of the product or feature being requested:  We are using Polycom VVX500/501 phones.  The way call parking works on these phones is ideal.  If someone presses park, the call will ring back on this person's line after a specified amount to time if nobody takes the call.  It does not function this way with the Park Locations feature on the RingCentral network.  Everything works properly, but the issue is that once a call is parked, it will never ring back to the user.  If you enable the setting in Presence that says "Ring my phone when any user I am monitoring rings" it will ring immediately after parking the call which does not work for us.
  • A typical use case scenario explaining how your business would use the feature:  While it is not ideal, we have several offices that for their own reasons do not want to abandon overhead paging.  The workflow is that the admin will pick up the phone, determine who the call should be routed to, place the call on a Park Location, then overhead page the individual telling them to pick up the specific Park location used.  If they do not pick up the Park Location, we would want this call to ring back to the admin so that they are aware that the call is still on hold. Currently, the only way to determine this is by visual inspection of the HUD/Presence buttons on the phone.
  • Benefit of such feature:  Allow for more efficient use of the Park Locations
  • Include any related case number if applicable: N/A
  • Number of Users and/or Digital Lines:  ~600

We would really like this feature to be part of RingCentral as well.  Our old system would ring back to the user's phone after about a minute and this really helped keeping calls from being forgotten & disconnected.

Agreed. For being posted two years ago, it is unfortunate to see this has not been added yet. Development team, please get this done.
