Record calls

Phone call recording is a valuable tool for managing employees and serving customers. After conversations, reviewing recordings helps capture crucial details. Managers can evaluate employee performance and communication results to enhance productivity and satisfaction.

Find out how to activate call recording, transcription, and client assessment of call quality in Bitrix24 telephony.


How to activate call recordings

The option to record your calls is configured for each PBX or rented number separately. Both inbound and outbound calls are recorded.

To start saving recordings of all calls,

  1. Go to CRM > Add-ons > Telephony.

  2. On the Connection page, click Configure numbers and select a rented number or connected SIP PBX.

  3. Open the Recordings and ratings tab and turn on the Save recordings of all calls option. Ensure that the use of this option does not violate company policy or the laws of your country or countries whose laws your company is obligated to follow.

    To inform your client that the call will be recorded, turn on the option to play a warning about it before the conversation.

    The corresponding audio file is stored in the Hold music section. Replace it with your custom tune if needed.

How to configure call transcription and quality assessment

In the Recordings and ratings section, there are some additional options available.

: Enable this option to save a call transcription in text format. Also, choose the default transcription language.

It can take from 20 seconds to a few minutes for the system to convert a phone call to text, depending on its length. Once activated, call transcription will be applied to all new calls.

In the Call Details section, you can find a phone icon in the Recording column. Click on it to view the text. The words and sentences of the transcript are divided into speaker sections: customer and agent.

The transcription text is searchable, so you can quickly find information by keywords. Imagine you discussed a TV set purchase with a client. Enter "TV" in the search bar, and the system will find all calls that mention this word.

Call transcription is a paid add-on service. Funds will be debited from your telephony account after each call. Please refer to the Voximplant Pricing Page and scroll down to the Call Transcription section to view the transcription price list.

Note that call transcription is applied to all new calls. There is no option to apply it to selected phone conversations only.

: Turn on this option to save call recordings in stereo format.

: Offer your customer a chance to assess the quality of service after they have ended a conversation. You can check assessments later in the Call details section.

If you don't see the Assessment column, enable it in the list view settings. To do this, click the gear button (⚙️) and select Assessment.


How to listen to call recordings

To listen to call recordings or download them, navigate to Telephony and open the Call details section.

Account administrators have full access to all call recordings. Regular users can only download their own call recordings and listen to those they have permission to access.

Also, you can listen to call recordings in the CRM entity form if they were saved there as activities. Regular users can listen to them if they have access to view the CRM entity itself.

Where to find call recording files

After you enable call recordings and get your first call recorded, a special system folder is automatically created on the Company Drive to store the call recording files. To access it, go to Bitrix24.Drive > Company Drive > Telephony – Recorded Calls.

There are no time limits for the storage of your call recordings. They are stored in your Bitrix24 until you decide to delete them manually. If you move a call recording to the Recycle bin, it will remain available under Call details and in CRM. If you delete a call recording from the Recycle bin, it will be irreversibly removed from your Bitrix24.

You can limit access to this folder to your employees to prevent them from deleting call recording files.
