Engage Voice | Setting up a CCRN in RingCentral RingEX
Last updated on February 1, 2021
A CCRN, also known as Contact Center Routing Number, exists as a phone number in RingEX and serves to route all calls to a contact center. After purchasing or porting your phone numbers to RingEX, you may set these numbers as CCRNs to route calls to your Engage Voice account.
Assigning a CCRN in RingCentral RingEX
Follow the steps below if you already have an existing RingCentral number that you want to use as a CCRN for Engage Voice. If you still need to add a number to RingEX, visit Purchasing phone numbers in RingEX.
1. Log in to RingEX using an admin account. You’ll need either Super Admin or Phone System Admin privileges to be able to make the necessary changes.
2. Navigate to Phone System > Phone Numbers > All numbers.
3. Click on the number that you would like to go to Engage Voice.
4. Click the radio button next to Contact Center.
5. Select RingCentral Engage Voice from the dropdown menu.
6. Click Save.
The number has now been assigned to Engage Voice. Keep in mind that you can only use numbers that are classified as Direct or Company Number under the Type column. You cannot use numbers that are attached to a specific device. If the number is tied to a device, please contact your Project or Account Manager to discuss configuration options.
