In my last post, I showed you how to make a voice call with Java and Ring Central. In this post, I’ll show you how to create your first Glip team. If you get stuck, refer to the developer portal docs, but it’s pretty simple.

As always, first include the dependency:

compile 'com.ringcentral:ringcentral:1.0.0-beta10'

Next, in your class, set some variables:

In addition to APIs for voice, sms, chat and much more, Ring Central offers a really easy to use widget for making soft calls from within any application. This makes it really easy to add voice calling features to an intranet (or really any) application.

It’s really easy to use, and can be done with JavaScript or an <iframe>:

<script>
  (function() {
    var rcs = document.createElement("script");
    rcs.src = "https://ringcentral.github.io/ringcentral-embeddable/adapter.js";
    var rcs0 = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];
    rcs0.parentNode.insertBefore(rcs, rcs0);
  })();
</script>

<iframe width="300" height="500" allow="microphone" src="https://ringcentral.github.io/ringcentral-embeddable/app.html">
</iframe>

In my last post, I showed you how to send an SMS message with Java and Ring Central. In this post, I’ll show you how to make a voice call. If you get stuck, refer to the developer portal docs, but it’s pretty simple.

As always, first include the dependency:

compile 'com.ringcentral:ringcentral:1.0.0-beta10'

Next, in your class, set some variables:

I previously showed you how to create and send an SMS using Ring Centraland Node.JS, but in this post I want to show you how to send an MMS. It’s pretty similar to the previous example, but there are a few differences that I wanted to point out.

Note: There is a combined limit of 1.5M bytes for all attachments and a limit of 10 attachments for any request.

Yesterday I blogged about Ring Central and their APIs for sending SMS, making voice calls and much more. In that post I showed an example of how easy it is to send an SMS with Node.JS. In this post, I’ll show you a similar example, but this time using Java. It’s just as easy to do with Java, but will look much more familiar if you’re a Java user which I know many of my readers are.

In my last post, I showed you how to create a Glip team. You’re probably wondering what Glip is and what you can use it for. Great question! Glip is team chat - you’re no doubt familiar with Slack and Rocket.Chat - it’s similar to them. Team based messaging, attachments, task management, video meetings, and more. You can even build your own bots with the Glip API. I’d show you how to do that, but there’s already a really great guide to get you started creating your first bot.
