Creating a Call Recording Field in Salesforce


In order to record calls inside Salesforce, Orum needs a field on the Task object to map to. This is where call recording links will be stored.

While some clients use pre-existing fields that are not being utilized, we recommend creating a specific field for the purposes of storing the call link.
