Script Example

This is an example to show how this action can be used in scripts. It is not intended to be a complete script. Additional scripting may be required.

The following excerpt initiates a call recording after attaining consent. The menu allows the contact to confirm or deny consent to be recorded and the decision is logged as True (for confirm) or False (for deny) in the ensuing snippet before requesting an agent. When an agent answers the call, the If action directs the contact to the Logcall action if the consent was confirmed (as True), and Logcall initiates a recording.
