Show doorbell or intercom notification as phone call

Most of the time I have the notifications on my iPhone on silent, so I can stay focused when I'm at work. However, when someone rings my doorbell, I do want to be notified. I think it would be great if the Ring app would integrate with CallKit on iOS. That way, I can also answer the doorbell using the buttons on my bluetooth headset or even carkit. And that way I get a constant "notification" like a phone call. I'm pretty sure similar APIs exists for Android.

    Totaly agree with this, It's difficult to see standard notification, a real call would be mandatory !

      How has this not been completed? A door ring comes through as a video call like any other app I have. Unlocking my phone to access the app to answer the call is a pain.

          I keep my iPhone always on silent mode and so any notification is only a faint vibration for me and I often end up missing when my Ring doorbell is actually pressed. It would be great if this could integrate with the call kit in iOS so that a ring of the doorbell acted like a phone call to my phone which means it would have a different (I.e. longer) notification.

            RING DOES NOT EVEN BOTHER TO ANSWER OUR REQUEST !!! SHAME ON THEM..LET'S ACT ON IT: Write every review and webstore with comment section. Advice people not to buy ring products. Tell everyone that they don't even bother to answer their customers. Spread the word that they only care for monthly fees and not their customers...
