Record

The Record scenario block provides a way for a scenario to record a message over the phone and store it as a shared voice segment for subsequent use in other scenarios. Such a shared voice segment must first be created via the Contact Center Administrator application and then selected as the value of property Shared voice prompt of this block.

This block will record the message in the “current” scenario language. The default current language is English - United States. To change the current language, use the Set Prompt Language block. To record one voice segment in two different languages in the same scenario, you can set the first desired language, use the Record block, then set the second language, and use the Record block again with the same setting of the Shared voice prompt property.

Note: Before Bright Pattern Contact Center version 3.7.7, a combination of the Record and EMail scenario blocks were used to implement recording and distribution of voicemail messages. In version 3.7.7, the Voicemail block was introduced to combine the above functions and support various storage and playback options specific to voicemail. Starting from version 3.8, Bright Pattern Contact Center Software also supports a built-in voicemail function.


Conditional Exits

The Record block may take one of the following conditional exits: Silence, Error, Max Recording Time Exceeded, or Cancelled.

Silence

The Silence conditional exit executes when silence is detected. The Detect Silence checkbox must be selected, and the Cancel on initial silence of parameter must be specified.

Error

The Error conditional exit executes when a block error occurs.

Max Recording Time Exceeded

This conditional exit executes when the Maximum duration is exceeded.

The Cancelled conditional exit executes if the recording is cancelled by the user.
