Adding a call recording link to Salesforce tasks

When an agent makes or receives a call, if call recording is enabled, the agent can record the call. For information about recording calls, see Call recording. Call recordings are stored in Vonage Contact Center. To access the call recordings, you must log in to Vonage Contact Center and locate the recording in the Call Recordings module. Alternatively, you can add a link to the recording in the Salesforce task record that is created at the end of the call. You can then use this link to go directly to the call recording in Vonage Contact Center.

You can also embed a call recording player in task records. For information about embedding a call recording player, see Embedding the call recording player in Salesforce tasks.
