Interaction Recording

Overview

The Interaction Recording service provides interaction recordings, which are compiled histories of the transcripts that document interactions between customers and agents using the Engagement Center. Each interaction recording comprises a collection of interaction recording items. Each transcript of an interaction that is documented between a customer and an agent creates an interaction recording item. The resulting interaction recording item contains information such as the customer and the agent involved in the interaction, the date, and the time the interaction took place. Making interaction recordings available to your agents can improve the efficiency of your customer interactions. Every agent can access an overview of interactions that occurred with a particular customer whenever necessary.

Using this service, you can:

  • Create a chat transcript.
  • Retrieve a chat transcript.
  • Delete a chat transcript.

Chat transcript is the equivalent of text recording that occur between customers and agents, or between customers and customers when they have a chat with each other. A chat transcript is composed of not only a collection of messages the chat participant created or input, but also some other information like the start time and end time of the chat, the list of chat participants’ information.
