Manage accounts, devices, and extensions

Configure RingCentral account features and settings programmatically

Quickly onboard and offboard employees with our Configuration APIs allowing you to have full control over your RingCentral accounts.  Manage account information and permissions for accounts, create new extensions using templates for faster onboarding, and quickly assign and manage devices to extensions.

Dynamic call routing and answering rules

Manage the way an extension answers calls, reports its status presence, and receives forwarded calls.

Create smarter call and messaging workflows with the ability to customize call rules and setup call queues. Implement the answering rules, provide the presence status of an extension (offline, busy, or available), and optionally return a list of extension numbers for call forwarding and call flipping.

Control paging features with the API

Configure how and when group or individual pages are created and distributed.

Keep your teams up to date by automating configuration of RingCentral Paging including creating paging only groups, assigning paging devices and/or desk phones, and authorizing users to access the group.

Configuration API code samples

Configuring RingCentral couldn’t be easier with our SDKs for C#, JavaScript, PHP, and Python.
            const rcsdk = new SDK({server: process.env.serverURL,
    appKey: process.env.clientId, appSecret: process.env.clientSecret});
const platform = rcsdk.platform();
platform.login({ 'jwt': process.env.RC_JWT }).then(() => {
    platform.get(`/restapi/v1.0/account/${accountId}/extension/
    ${extensionId}/presence`, queryParams).then((r) => {
        // PROCESS RESPONSE
    });
});
