Embedding the call recording player in Salesforce tasks

In this page

When an agent makes or receives a call, if call recording is enabled and configured, the agent can record the call. For information about recording calls, see Call recording. Call recordings are stored in Interaction Content within the Vonage Contact Center admin portal. For information about Interaction Content, see Interaction Content.

To access the call recordings, you must log in to ContactWorld and locate the recording in Call Recordings. Alternatively, you can embed a call recording player in Salesforce task records that are created at the end of calls.

You can also add links to call recordings to task records. For information about adding call recording links, see Adding a call recording link to Salesforce tasks.

If the call recording annotation feature is enabled for your account, you can use the call recording player with comments. For information about configuring the call recording annotation feature, see Configuring call recording annotation in Salesforce.
