Download recordings and transcripts of past conversations
These are the steps that a manager does to download past recordings or transcripts of conversations.
-
If the contact reached you by phone call (the Voice channel), you can download a .wav file.

If the contact reached you by chat (the Chat channel), you can download a .json file.
