Pause and resume call recordings

If your organization records calls for training and quality purposes, then you might prefer not to record any sensitive information. Clone the existing Contact Center Admin (Partner Telephony) and Contact Center Agent (Partner Telephony) permission sets in Salesforce and edit the permission for call recordings. To allow agents to pause and resume call recordings, you must assign the users to a permission set that has the Control Call Recording option enabled for App Permissions. For more information, see Enable secure pause and resume of call recordings.

The Voice Call record page provides the agents with the relevant information during the call and when viewing the completed call records. You can either create a new Voice Call record page with the custom components from Genesys or edit an existing Voice Call record page by adding the custom components from Genesys.

If you are creating a record page, Genesys Cloud recommends using the Header with Three Region template to arrange the components in Salesforce. You can also customize the layout of the page as per your specific business needs.

To enable agents to manage callbacks, it is mandatory that you add the GC for SCV Callback State and GC for SCV Schedule Callback custom components for callback to the Voice Call record page.
