Call Recordings

Not offered today. What to use instead.

On this page

Calls to your receptionist are not recorded today, so there is no audio to play back. Every call still gets a written transcript and a summary, and those are what you review.

What every call gives you instead

Open Conversations and click a call. Everything below is on that one screen after the call ends.

The transcript
The whole call written out, every line labelled by who said it.
The summary
A short account of what the caller needed and how the call ended, with key points when there are some. A shortened version also shows in the Summary column of the Conversations list.
Captured details
Name, phone, email, address, the service and a preferred time, wherever the caller gave them.
The booking
The appointment, if one was made on the call.

Reviewing a call without audio

  1. 1

    Start with calls that didn't book

    The Outcome column shows which is which. Booked calls confirm things work; the ones that didn’t book tell you what to change.

  2. 2

    Read the summary, then the transcript

    The summary tells you how it ended. The transcript shows where it turned, usually near the end: a price, a date, or a question it couldn’t answer.

  3. 3

    Note the exact sentence you'd change

    Specific words are fixable. “It felt off” isn’t. Then change that detail in Business Config.

Five calls, once

Reading your first five real calls is the highest-value half hour of your first week. Most owners find two or three things they’d say differently, fix them, and rarely need to do it again at that intensity.

What a transcript revealed

Four unbooked calls in one week ended the same way: the caller asked about weekend availability and heard “we’re Monday to Friday”. The owner works most Saturdays. He’d just never entered them.

Text doesn't carry tone

A transcript shows what was said, not how it was said. If a booking matters and the caller seemed unsure, a quick call to confirm it is the reliable check.

Why the greeting mentions recording

Straight after your greeting, every call carries the same fixed disclosure:

“Quick note — I'm an AI assistant and this call may be recorded for quality. You can say 'stop' anytime to opt out.”

It tells the caller they’re talking to an AI, that the call may be recorded, and how to opt out. It’s built into every call and can’t be edited or switched off, so it stays in place even though calls aren’t recorded today.

If a caller asks not to be recorded
Your receptionist arranges a callback from your team instead of carrying on with the call.
If a caller says stop
That's an opt-out. It's honored right away, and we stop messaging that contact.

Treat transcripts as customer data

They contain names, addresses and phone numbers. Share them the way you’d share any customer record: with your own team, for a reason.

If recording is offered later

If we ever offer call recording, we’ll tell you before it’s switched on for your account, and this page will say exactly what changes.

No. Calls aren’t recorded, so there’s no audio to play. Read the transcript. If a detail matters and the transcript looks odd, a quick call to the customer settles it.

Delete the conversation from the Conversations list with the trash icon on its row. That removes the call and any booking made on it, updates your metrics, and can’t be undone. If they also want their contact details removed, email us and we’ll handle it.
