The SMS Change has been Horrible
We've had enough. We will not be submitting our information again after 4-5 times. The GoTo AI systems are not helpful, and it appears that we are being charged by GoTo for each submission. So, we will be moving our SMS communications to the other company that we use where we have had no problems. Also, your AI support doesn't work, either. It does not get me to where I need to be. I'm longing for the GoTo days where I could speak to a real support person sitting in Santa Barbara. Those were the good 'ol days.
Call Transferred then Rings to Person Transferring
This is an odd issue that came up a few weeks ago and hasn't gone away. User A picks up a call on a ring group from an outside line. User A then presses transfer and dials User B's extension. After discussing the transfer, User A presses transfer again and instead of the call transferring to to User B, it rings back to User A with the outside caller unable to hear anything. This happens at a few extensions, all of which are part of a ring group. They are all in a group so anyone in that department can answer incoming calls. We have started a ticket with GoTo support and they have been unable to tell why this is happening. It doesn't show up in the call routing technical logs that they have been able to find. The phones get auto re provisioned over the weekends and it is still happening. We have tried factory resetting the phones, resetting the JBC, verifying there are no call forwarding rules on User A or User B's phones. Wondering if anyone has experienced this before? One of the people dealing with the issue found this link from years ago that describes the exact issue with no final resolution. https://www.3cx.com/community/threads/yealink-attended-transfer-not-working.57930/
Virtual Fax settings
Hi, I want to store the faxes received on my GoTo Connect virtual fax number directly in Google Cloud Storage.I have enabled a virtual fax number in GoTo Connect and attempted to fetch faxes in the cloud, but it did not work. Do I need to enable storage within GoTo Mail for this to work? Additionally, the "Receiving" settings ask for an email ID. Is an email ID necessary if I want to store data directly in Google Cloud?What's new with GoTo Connect - September 2025
Hello GoTo Connect Community! I'm happy to share the latest GoTo Connect releases, featuring powerful new enhancements designed to streamline your communications and elevate your team’s productivity. Sentiment + Topic for All Calls Allows you to use AI-powered sentiment and topic analysis on every recorded call, enabling teams to proactively identify trends, coach staff, and improve overall customer experience without manually reviewing transcripts or recordings. This is available for Advanced Reporting add-on customers (CX, Auto CX, and Contact Center Complete have Advanced Reporting add-on as part of the bundle). Improved Inbox AI features Allows you to access enhanced AI-powered conversation summaries and sentiment analytics across more plans and digital channels, with increased accuracy, transparency, and control. This includes upgrading our AI features across the Shared Inbox and SMS campaigns and making them available to more customers (now for CE Pro and CX). GoTo Mobile: Shared Inbox – Mark Conversation as Read/Unread Allows customers using GoTo Mobile to easily mark conversations in their shared inbox as read or unread. This highly-requested feature boosts team collaboration and makes it simple to track which messages need attention on the go. Contact Center, CX, and Customer Engagement: SMS Campaigns Now Available in the Inbox SMS campaigns are now available right in the inbox for our Customer Engagement, CX, and—newly added—Contact Center customers! Moving campaigns to the inbox will eventually replace the old Engage experience, making it easier to discover and launch campaigns. Attendant Console – Company Contact Groups Company Contact Groups, is now available to all Attendant Console users! This much-anticipated feature, our most requested since the attendant console’s initial release, empowers users to create customizable contact groups. With Company Contact Groups, you can easily organize contacts by department, location, call queue, or any category that best suits your workflow. The improved filtering capabilities allow for more precise presence monitoring, faster call routing, and improved management of frequently contacted teams. Chat Assistant “Close Conversation” Node The chat assistant just got a lot more versatile! We’ve made it possible for chat assistants to completely resolve conversations without transferring to a human agent. Inbox managers and CC admins can now configure a new ending node that automatically closes out a conversation with a clear, branded message. This means you get immediate closure and it will be routed properly the next time they message in. Conversations closed by the chat assistant now show in the Resolved Conversations board. Set a phone number to recover your password One more important feature! Now, you can add a single recovery phone number to your account, making it easier to reset or recover your login password if needed. For more information, including set-up, see this article. We would love to hear your thoughts and questions. Please let us know in the comments.

Does the New Chrome Extension Require the GoTo Windows App for Caller ID Search?
Hey all — I've been using GoTo Connect for years and relied heavily on the legacy Chrome extension's "Caller ID Search" feature. It let me auto-launch custom URLs like a client lookup in our CRM based on the caller’s phone number. That was a huge part of our customer service workflow. With the new Chrome extension, those features are gone. There's no way to launch URLs with the number when a call rings, no more call triggers, and no device customization. I recently noticed the GoTo Windows app has a setting called "Screen pop" that seems similar — it lets you open a URL when a call is ringing and set parameters. So my questions are: Is the Windows app now required to get this functionality back? Can it replace the Chrome extension’s behavior? Does the new extension rely on the app to handle these triggers? Or will these features return to the browser in the future? We use this flow to automatically trigger patient summaries from our vet software (ezyVet) the moment a client calls. If the desktop app is the new way to do that, great — just want to confirm. Thanks in advance.
