Part 2: Locating your Extension ( or Agent) IDs for Integration

The Extension ID you enter in Steer settings is dependent on how you utilize RingCentral.

Does your shop have calls ring directly to individual user(s)/extension(s)? If so, you will use Setup Flow #1.

Does your shop use a Call Queue - directs calls to ring to a group simultaneously? If so, you will use Setup Flow #2.

Setup Flow #1: for this setup you need to identify the Extension ID(s), in RingCentral these will be User ID(s), you want to onboard to each location -  the phone number(s) that belongs to your shop. You can onboard multiple extension/users to a single location.

If you have multiple shops you will repeat this process for each shop and their respective phone number(s).

1. Login into RingCentral Service Portal -> click Users in the top bar navigation.

2. Select the User(s) you want to onboard to your Steer shop. Click on that user's name.

3. Locate the URL in your browser - the highlighted area in the image below is User Extension ID of this particular user.

     a. This ID will be used later as the Extension ID and eligible Steer User Agent ID, in Steer Settings. 

4. Copy this ID - you will paste this ID in Steer in the Extension ID box and Save.

5. Repeat for each User/phone number you want to onboard to your Steer shop. This means Steer will associate call activity with this User/number to this specific Steer shop Call Intelligence; this will also facilitate the CallerID+ pop-up notifications. 

Alternatively, if you have multiple users to add: You can download the whole list of your Users as an XLS file. In this file, Column A (Mailbox ID) is the same ID we are looking for in the URL.

Using Setup Flow #2: for this setup you need to identify the Call Queue you need to onboard to your Steer shop - the group of phone numbers that you would like to onboard to this location. 

If you have multiple shops you will repeat this process for each shop and their respective Call Queue. 

1. Login into RingCentral Service Portal -> click Phone System in the top bar navigation.

2. Click Groups on the Left Hand Navigation. 

3. Click Call Queues and locate the Call Queue that is associated with your shop. 

4. Click the name of the Call Queue - Locate the URL in your browser - the highlighted area in the image below is Extension ID of this Call Queue.

     a. This ID will be used later as the Extension ID in Steer Settings. 

4. Copy this ID - you will paste this ID in Steer in the Extension ID box. 

5. Pasting the Call Queue ID into the Extension ID in Steer will facilitate call information from RingCentral to Steer for all phone numbers associated with that Call Queue. This will also facilitate CallerID+ pop up notifications for those users as well.

Part 3: Establishing the Connection between Steer and Ring Central
