Call Recording Controls

Overview​

Amazon Connect supports call recording out of the box. This is handled by enabling at the Amazon Connect instance, then utilising the 'Set recording and analytics behavior' in a contact flow, as described here - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/adminguide/set-up-recordings.html.

CX allows agents to either pause and resume call recordings, or stop them entirely. This may be for instance during a credit card capture or if a customer has explicitly requested the call not be recorded.

Call Recording Controls can be enabled at the instance level, and set to either:

  • Off - no call recording controls will be allowed - i.e. the Agent cannot pause/stop call recording
  • Pause Only - Recordings can be paused and resumed during an active call. They cannot be ended. Stop Only - Recordings can be stopped, permanently ending them. Stopped recordings can’t be resumed.
  • All Controls - Agents can pause, resume and stop a recording at any point during an active call.

Enabling Call Recording Controls​

To enable call recording Controls, visit the Contact Centre > Configuration > Interactions page in the NeonNow Admin app.

Scroll down to the 'Call Recording Controls' Section, and configure as desired.

Overriding Call Recording Controls​

Call Recording Controls defined in the NeonNow Admin app define the default for the instance. To allow flexibility, this can be overridden via setting a specific Amazon Connect Contact Attribute of CX_CALL_RECORDING within the Contact Flow, with the following values:

  • ON - call recording controls enabled, using whichever controls are configured for the contact centre.
  • OFF - call recording controls disabled
  • PAUSE_STOP - Agents can pause, resume and stop a recording at any point during an active call.
  • PAUSE - Recordings can be paused and resumed during an active call. They cannot be ended.
  • STOP - Recordings can only be stopped, permanently ending them. Stopped recordings can’t be resumed.
