While on a call, an agent can add notes to a task record that represents the call. The agent adds the notes from within an open Salesforce record. Vonage Contact Center saves these notes in the call's task record at the end of the call. For more information on adding notes during a call, see Logging a call during the call.
In addition to the free-text Notes field, you can add other fields to the Log a Call area. You can add up to six standard task or custom activity fields.
Additional fields can be of the following data types:
Text
Text and Text Area types are allowed, but Text Area (Long) and Text Area (Rich) are not. |
Picklists and Picklist (Multi-Select)
|
To override the default subject of 'Outbound call to xxxxx' or 'Inbound call from xxxxx', add a Subject field to the Log a Call area.
The following images show examples of these fields:

The values that the last agent to handle the call provides in the fields are saved in the task record when the agent clicks save. The agent can also change and save the values later after the call has finished, up until the next call is made or received.
