Support That Finds the Problem First

Ask for help from inside your RingQ server or the Customer Access Portal. Before a person reads your ticket, RingQ MCP has already checked your server, so the support engineer starts with the answer half found.

Thanks Leah. Your trunk dropped its registration. I've registered it again, so calls are ringing now. I'll keep watching it today.

Behind the scenes

The tools that let us answer fast

Support engineers do not start from a blank page. Three connected tools give them the facts about your server and keep every access controlled and recorded.

  1. 01

    Finds the problem

    RingQ MCP

    Connected to the APIs of every RingQ server. It checks a server the moment a ticket arrives and tells the engineer where to look.

    • Read-only checks first
    • Matches known issues
    • Drafts a reply for the engineer
  2. 02

    Opens the server safely

    RingQ Console

    A secure connection the server opens out to us, so no extra ports are opened on your network. Engineers open it from the ticket, for that one server only.

    • Opened from the ticket
    • Access set per engineer
    • Every session logged
  3. 03

    Controls who can do what

    Staff portal

    Where RingQ decides which staff may use the Console and MCP, and at what level. It only opens from the RingQ office network.

    • Single sign-on with two-step sign-in
    • Rights given person by person
    • Removed the day someone leaves

Your own team can use RingQ MCP too, to ask your phone system questions in plain language.See RingQ MCP

Support engineer rights

What a support engineer can and cannot do

Support access is narrow by design. An engineer gets what they need to fix the problem on the ticket, and nothing else.

An engineer can

An engineer can never

  • Read your server's health: services, trunks, numbers, phones, disk and certificates
  • Sign in with a named RingQ support account that shows in your audit log
  • Make the fix you asked for, such as registering a trunk again or unblocking an office IP
  • Open the RingQ Console for the one server on the ticket
  • Ask the supervisor to send the problem to the developers
  • Listen to call recordings or voicemail, or read your messages
  • See passwords, SIP secrets, API keys or SMS provider keys
  • Update your server, change who owns it, or change your support access setting
  • Open a server that has no ticket, or a server of another customer
  • Share anything about your business outside RingQ

Security, GDPR and confidentiality

Help without handing over your data

Support only works if you can trust it. These are the rules every RingQ support engineer works under, on every server.

  • Each server stands alone

    Every RingQ instance has its own data and its own access. A ticket, a check or a Console session is tied to one server and cannot reach another.

  • Diagnostics, not content

    Support checks read settings and health. Recordings, voicemail audio, message text, passwords and keys are left out of every check on purpose.

  • Everything is in your audit log

    Every support sign-in, check and change is written to your server's own audit log, with who did it and when.

  • Your switch

    On a dedicated server, the owner decides whether RingQ support can sign in, in Global Settings. On shared servers, support access stays on so we can keep the platform safe for everyone.

  • GDPR by default

    We only use the data a ticket needs, only for that ticket, and you can ask us to see or delete what we hold about you.

  • Bound to confidentiality

    Every RingQ support engineer signs a non-disclosure agreement. What we see while helping you is never shared outside RingQ.

Frequently asked questions

How do I contact RingQ support?

Choose Need support? inside your RingQ server, in the web or mobile app, or sign in to the Customer Access Portal (CAP) and use the support chat there. Both reach the same RingQ support desk, and your server details are attached for you.

What is the RingQ support response time?

A RingQ support engineer responds to every ticket within 4 hours. Support for partners runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and public holidays.

What does RingQ MCP do with my ticket?

RingQ MCP is connected to the APIs of every RingQ server. When your ticket arrives it runs read-only checks on your server, such as services, trunks, numbers, phones, disk and certificates, and gives the support engineer the likely cause and matching known issues before they reply.

Can a support engineer listen to my calls or read my messages?

No. Support checks leave out call recordings, voicemail audio, message text, passwords and keys on purpose. Engineers see the settings and health of your server, which is what they need to fix it.

Will I know what support did on my server?

Yes. Every support sign-in, check and change is written to your server's own audit log, with who did it and when. The engineer also tells you in the support chat what they changed.

When does a problem go to the developers?

When a fix needs a change to RingQ itself, for example a problem that keeps coming back or shows on more than one server, the support supervisor sends it to the developers with a bug report filled in from your ticket. The fix reaches your server through the Update button.

Can I switch off RingQ support access?

On a dedicated (single-tenant) server, the owner can switch RingQ support access on or off in Global Settings. On shared (multi-tenant) servers it stays on, so RingQ can keep the platform healthy for every customer on it.

Need help with your RingQ server?

Open Need support? in your RingQ app or the Customer Access Portal, and a support engineer will be with you within 4 hours.
