Voicemail Recording

image: ./simple-voicemail.webP # Voicemail Recording This node uses the asynchronous recording method to record a voicemail. Reference the recording URL in other nodes in the Flow using the variable %{record_url}. You can also access the recording URL from the call log details in your [RELAY Space](https://my.signalwire.com?page=relay). ## **Node Settings** | Parameter | Description | |:--|:| | **Stereo** | Record in stereo. Toggle this on to separate the two legs of the call recording into left and right channels.

**Default Value:** Toggled Off | | **Beep** | Play a beep before recording starts.

**Default Value:** Toggled Off | | **Terminators** | DTMF digits that will stop the recording. Multiple DTMF tones can be added by being seperated by a comma.

**Default Value:** None

**Possible Values:** Digits 0-9, *, # | | **Maximum Recording Length** | The maximum length of the recording in seconds.

**Possible Values:** 1-3600 seconds | | **Initial Timeout** | The time in seconds to wait for the first DTMF digit before starting the recording.

**Possible Values:** 1-99 seconds | | **End Silence Timeout** | The time in seconds to wait for the end of the call before ending the recording.

**Possible Values:** 1-99 seconds | | **Format** | The format of the recording.

**Possible Values:** wav, mp3 | ## **Examples** ### Simple voicemail with goodbye message For a traditional voicemail experience, we recommend pairing the Voicemail Recording node with a [Play Audio or TTS](/call-flow-builder/play-audio-or-tts) node and including a beep before recording. Including a terminator (in this case, a # sign) will allow nodes to run after the caller is finished leaving their voicemail.

### Record voicemail and send recording URL as a POST request You can pair this node with a [Request](../request/index.mdx) node to send the recording URL to the webhook of your choice. Please note that any later recordings in the Flow will overwrite the %{record_url} variable, so the Request node should immediately follow this Voicemail Recording node or use [Set Variables](../set_variables/index.mdx) to save this URL for a later request.

### Record voicemail and send recording URL as SMS You may want to be notified about a new voicemail with an SMS. You can follow the Voicemail Recording node with a Send SMS node and again access call data and the recording URL with the {call.} and {record_url} variables.
