How does on-demand call recording in OpenPhone work?

OpenPhone Ring Order

You can initiate a call recording with just one click. Review the call at normal speed or opt for a faster playback. OpenPhone provides a business phone system your team can use to call, text, and record calls on their preferred devices. Use OpenPhone on the web, desktop (Mac and Windows), iOS, or Android app. 

All recordings are neatly saved in OpenPhone. See recordings alongside your contact’s complete history. OpenPhone shows all recordings, texts, and voice messages in a single thread so you can understand what’s happening at a glance. This unlocks better team collaboration, allowing multiple team members to be in the know and work together. 

Worried your team will forget to hit record? Easily enable the automatic call recording feature for any number with the OpenPhone Business Plan.

Keep your team focused 

Stay in the moment and fully engage with the customer during your call instead of fiddling with notes. OpenPhone’s AI tool automatically generates a call transcript so you can reference specific information later.

Why teams choose OpenPhone over a basic call recording app

Here are a few more key reasons why businesses use OpenPhone

phones
Collaborate together from one inbox

Sharing an inbox creates a seamless experience for your customers, no matter who’s on the clock. Ensure no important calls are missed and your customers are always taken care of. By sharing numbers, your team can split the responsibility for incoming calls and messages. Collaborative internal threads allow your team to coordinate responses and tasks.

Save time by reducing manual tasks

OpenPhone eliminates manual tasks like note-taking so you can focus on what matters — your customers. Use snippets to respond to frequently asked questions with one command. Plus, automatically log call recordings, voicemail messages, and text messages in your CRM with the HubSpot integration or your tech stack with Zapier.

Create genuine connections with customers

Never forget a birthday or the name of a customer’s dog. Use contact notes and custom properties to customize your conversations and delight your customers. 

Add multiple phone numbers

Scale your phone system with your growing business. It’s easy to add phone numbers to your workspace as needed. Opt to give your team local area codes based on a city or direct phone numbers for colleagues. 

Handoff calls without dropping the ball

Provide a seamless experience when passing a customer from one colleague to another. Warm transfers share context with team members, so the customer doesn’t have to repeat themselves. Host three-way calls with multiple participants for seamless handoffs. 

“After evaluating 6 or 7 other vendors, we found that only OpenPhone checked all the boxes. It's just worlds better. We love using the round robin option, which rings other staff members if someone's unavailable, so that client calls are serviced in a timely fashion.”
