Deploy the app
An IT administrator gets the RingSync app installed on colleagues' phones with a link, a QR code or an MDM, then tracks how many people have signed in.
Before you send anything
A person needs a seat and the app. The app needs no configuration: people sign in with their work account, and RingSync finds the directories they are entitled to from their email address.
Check that the people you target hold a seat: assigned to the RingSync enterprise application in Entra ID for Microsoft, or within the Authorized seats for Google Workspace. Without a seat, the app answers "No directory has been shared with you. Contact your administrator." See Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace.
Send the link, the QR code and the message
The link to share is https://ringsync.io/app. It does not change: you can send it by email, publish it on the intranet or print it on a poster.
- In the dashboard, open the directory, then its Deploy the app page.
- Under Link and QR code, select Copy the link, or download the QR code with QR code (SVG) or QR code (PNG).
- Under Message to send, choose Email or Intranet, then the language FR or EN.
- Select Copy the message and paste it into your email or onto your intranet.
The message contains the link and three steps: open the link on the phone, install the app and sign in with the work account (Microsoft 365 or Google, depending on the directory), then allow access to contacts. The Email version adds a subject, a greeting and the signature "The IT team".
The link opens the App Store on an iPhone and Google Play on an Android phone. On a computer, it opens a page that shows both stores, with a QR code to scan from the phone. The QR code on the Deploy the app page carries the same link.
Each person then follows Install on iPhone or Install on Android.
Deploy through your MDM
Deploy RingSync like any public store app, as required, to the same group that has access to RingSync in your directory. MDM deployment is possible, but without managed configuration: there is nothing to push, and everyone signs in with their work account.
| iOS | Android | |
|---|---|---|
| Name in the stores | RingSync | RingSync |
| Identifier | com.quadranova.RingSync | com.quadranova.RingSync |
| Managed configuration | None | None |
Microsoft Intune
- Apps → iOS/iPadOS → Add → iOS store app → search for "RingSync".
- Apps → Android → Add → Managed Google Play app → search for "RingSync", approve the app, then sync.
- For each of the two: Assignments → Required → the group assigned to the RingSync enterprise application.
Google Workspace
- Open Admin console → Devices → Mobile & endpoints → Apps → Web and mobile apps.
- Choose Add app and search for "RingSync" on the App Store, then on Google Play.
- Assign the app to the organizational units or groups concerned.
Jamf, Workspace ONE, Kandji and others
Add the app from the public store with the identifier com.quadranova.RingSync, then assign it to the group concerned.
No MDM can grant contacts access on the user's behalf. Tell your teams they need to accept it on first launch, and on iPhone to choose Allow access to all contacts.
Track adoption
- The Deploy the app page shows how many authorized people have signed in to the app. The See who link opens the list of users.
- The Dashboard shows Signed in to the app and Synced (over the number of days shown), against the authorized people.
- The list of users marks each person App installed or Not installed yet. Export not signed in (CSV) gives a file with the email and name of the people to remind.
Technical details
The identifier com.quadranova.RingSync is the same on iOS and Android. To see where contacts are written on the phone, see Synced information and Security and data.
