How do I access or download a call recording?

Overview

You are wondering where to find or access a call recording for a call that you made via Playbooks.

Information

NOTE: First, make sure that the call was actually recorded. To record calls, call recording has to be turned on for your organization, or you must have the call recording permission (Manual Start/Stop Recording) in your permission group. See Creating Permission Groups and Assigning Permissions to Users for more information.

Accessing Call Recordings from Playbooks Activity History

Playbooks saves copies of your call recording in the Activity History of your prospect. This is the fastest and most convenient method for many agents.

To access call recordings directly from a prospect’s Activity History, follow the below steps:

  1. Open Playbooks.
  2. Navigate to the Person or Account record in Playbooks.
  3. Click ACTIVITIES.
  4. Click on the target Phone Call Task.
  5. Click the Play button to start the playback.
  6. Click the Pause button as needed.
  7. Skip to the beginning or end by clicking a location directly on the progress bar.
  8. To exit, click CLOSE.

Accessing / Downloading Call Recordings from Your CRM

You can access call recordings from your CRM, but you must have access to Playbooks in order to access the call recordings.

If you are using Microsoft Dynamics, you can access call recordings directly from the 1) link inside your activity record or by 2) running a report that includes the "Playbooks Call Recording" field.
