Cloudli Connect offers Call Recording for training purposes, to ensure customer service quality or simply to improve your product, calls are being recorded that are made on your IP telephony system. The Permanent Recording Service can be used through any internal extension and allows listening to incoming and outgoing calls made on the designated extension(s), a few seconds after the end of the call. The number of employees who can access the recordings is unlimited but depends on the assignment of listening rights. The service is billed on a monthly basis according to the number of extensions on which the recording must be made.
LISTENING RIGHTS
There are two levels of listening to the recordings:
- Complete listening: By assigning the “Confidentiality” role to a user in the account, the latter can consult all the recordings made on the different stations.
- Selective listening: By assigning the role “Group recording access”, the user has limited access to a certain number of extensions in a group. Thus, you can decide to join extensions of the same type into a group and give access to call recordings only to the supervisor of this group. The number of groups that can be created in the account is unlimited.
SAVING RECORDINGS
There are two options available for record storage.
Option 1 – “Client Storage” – this will require you to access an FTP server where the recordings will be transferred by Cloudli. Note that the disk space of a recording is about 1MB per minute.
Option 2 – “Cloudli Storage” – with this option all conversation recordings are stored by Cloudli and available in the cloud in real time through our Customer Portal. Hosting fees may apply.
HOW TO CONSULT RECORDINGS
As mentioned above, access to call recordings is secured. Users who wish to consult and listen to a stored recording must have one of the two roles presented earlier. Thereafter, the search and access is done through two different accesses, depending on the services used.

- Protocol (FTPs/FTP) – the protocol used for the transfer.
- Name / IP Address – the name or IP address of the SFTP/FTP server.
- TCP Port Number – the TCP port (if other than standard).
- Folder – the name of the directory where the records (files) are stored.
- User name – the user name of the FTPs/FTP server.

ON-DEMANDE RECORDING
Also note that the On Demand Recording service is also available through our pound key functions and is free of charge. This service allows you to start recording a conversation at any time during the phone call simply by dialing #3 on your phone keypad. You will only hear a beep confirming that the conversation is being recorded. Once the call is over, an audio file of the recording in WAV format will be sent by email to the user of the extension from which the call was made.
The recording is also available through our portal in the “Recorded Conversations” tab of the extension (requires listening rights).
