What is Ring Central?

First, log in to Zapier.com, then from the dashboard and under the ‘Create your own workflow‘ section, search for “RingCentral” under the ‘Connect this app…‘ field.
Under the ‘with this one!‘ field search for “Investment Dominator“.
Under the ‘When this happens…’ field select ‘Call Ended‘.
And under the ‘then do this!‘ field select ‘Post Contact‘:
Click the ‘Try it‘ button to continue with the setup.
Step 2 – Connect To Your Ring Central Account:

If everything looks good, click the ‘Continue‘ button
Step 3 – Setup The Zap Action
Please note for this part of the zap to work properly, you will need to have a property in the complete and ready to sell status. Then you will attach this property to your record in the marketing tab in order to populate on your zap.
Under the ‘Type’ field select which record type applies to you, in this case, we want our buyer so we input number 2 for ‘Buyer’.
Under the ‘Contact Id’s‘ field select the buyer record.
The last required field is the ‘First name’ and the rest are optional
Complete this mapping process for every field that you would like to transfer data from then click the ‘Continue‘ button at the bottom of the page to progress to the next step.
Click the ‘Test & Continue‘ button.

Click the ‘Turn on Zap‘ button to complete the process.
Hooray! Now, when you end a call in Ring Central your contact will post into your Investment Dominator CRM it will also be automatically sent to your marketing tab by Zapier!
