Recordings

Recordings are stored by Talk and exposed in the corresponding ticket in a voice comment.

JSON format

Recordings are represented as JSON objects with the following properties:

Name	Type	Read-only	Mandatory	Description
call_id	number	false	true	ID of a Talk call
recording_type	string	false	false	Valid types are call or voicemail

Delete Recording

• DELETE /api/v2/channels/voice/calls/{call_id}/recordings

Allowed For

• Admins

The id parameter should be replaced with a call ID, which you can get from the call_id property in Voice Comments.

Two recordings can be associated to the same call ID. This endpoint deletes all recordings associated with the call ID. To delete only a specific type of recording, see Delete Recording By Type.

Parameters

Name	Type	In	Required	Description
call_id	integer	Path	true	ID of a Talk call
