A RingCentral call-handling rule can send calls to GreetKeeper
Forwarding works today, using rules you already have. GreetKeeper does not write call records back into RingCentral.
Caller
“I got put through to voicemail again. I'm calling about the quote your team sent last week and I'd like to sign it.”
What happened next
- Caller named the quote reference, captured word for word in the transcript
- Flagged as a sales inquiry in the summary, sent to your sales address
- Callback booked for 9:15am into the connected Outlook calendar
How GreetKeeper connects to RingCentral
Three states, and we publish the one that is true rather than the one that reads best.
| Tool | How it connects | What that means |

| RingCentral | Not yet |
What RingCentral is in this setup
RingCentral is a cloud phone system for businesses. Your team gets extensions, desk apps and a main company number, all managed from an admin portal rather than a box in a cupboard.
The part that matters here is call handling. Every user and every call queue has rules that decide what happens when a call comes in, and separate rules for business hours and after hours.
One of those rule options is forwarding to an external number. That is the door. You add the number GreetKeeper gives you as a forwarding destination, and the rule sends calls there.
Where the call record lands
RingCentral will log that a call was forwarded. It will not hold what the caller said, because GreetKeeper does not write into it.
Your RingCentral call log shows the inbound call and the forward. That is all it shows. The transcript, the summary and the caller's reason for calling sit in GreetKeeper.
You choose where the record goes next. Email is the default, and most offices send it to a shared inbox so whoever is on duty sees it. A webhook sends the same data to your own system if you have one.
Bookings are the exception worth knowing about. If the caller wants an appointment, GreetKeeper writes it into a connected Google Calendar or Outlook while they're still on the phone.
Forwarding from RingCentral
All of this happens in the admin portal. No phones get touched.
Decide what you're forwarding
A single user's extension, the main company number, or a call queue. Most businesses start with the main number's after-hours rule, because that is the traffic they're losing.
Add GreetKeeper as an external number
In the admin portal, open Call Handling for that user, queue or auto-receptionist. Add a forwarding destination and paste your GreetKeeper number in as an external number.
Set the rule and the hours
Choose whether the forward applies always, after hours, or after a set number of rings. Overflow usually means forwarding once your team's phones have rung four or five times.
Call the number and check both sides
Ring it from outside the office. Confirm GreetKeeper answers, then open your RingCentral log and see the forwarded leg. Read the GreetKeeper transcript. Now you know which system holds what.

Questions about RingCentral and GreetKeeper
Can I forward only the after-hours calls?
Yes. RingCentral keeps separate business-hours and after-hours rules. Put GreetKeeper on the after-hours rule and your daytime routing stays exactly as it is.
Does GreetKeeper appear in my RingCentral contacts?
No. It is an external forwarding destination, nothing more. Nothing is added to your directory or your contact list.
What about a call queue that nobody answers?
Set the queue's overflow or no-answer action to forward to your GreetKeeper number. Callers who would have waited get answered instead.
Try it on one rule
Point your after-hours rule at GreetKeeper and listen. Two minutes, no card.
