Integration with PBX features

Your Phone System provides numerous features that you probably use every day, like voicemail, call recording, do not disturb, call pickup, call parking, etc. Those built-in features could be easily triggered by dialing special feature codes configured on your PBX via any connected SIP endpoint.

Ringotel provides seamless integration with PBX features directly from the softphone user interface. It allows triggering certain features on the Phone System without the need to remember and manually dial feature codes. Instead, users can intuitively interact with the app’s interface on their mobile or desktop devices, while the Ringotel platform will do the rest.

How does it work?

Ringotel Shell admins can specify PBX feature codes in the Connection settings. Ringotel platform will then dial integrated features when the user interacts with the softphone’s UI.

Configuring the integration

Currently, the following features are available for integration:
