External call storage

Store call recordings in your own cloud storage for compliance and easy retrieval.

Call recordings are only as useful as your ability to find, access, and keep them. When recordings live exclusively on a phone system's default storage, you are dependent on that system's retention limits, access controls, and availability. External call storage changes that: instead of recordings sitting in Voxbi's own store, they are sent to a cloud storage location your organisation controls, where your own policies apply.

This matters most where compliance is involved. Regulated industries often require recordings to be retained for specific periods, stored in auditable locations, or accessible to compliance officers on demand. With external call storage, those recordings sit in an environment you already manage, integrated with your existing storage infrastructure, retrieval processes, and access controls. It also makes large-scale retrieval more practical: searching and downloading recordings from a cloud storage location you operate is straightforward.

When you'd use external call storage

  • A financial services firm must retain call recordings for a defined period under MiFID II or a similar regulatory framework, and needs those recordings in a compliant, auditable storage environment it controls.

  • A customer service team wants recordings archived in its existing cloud storage account so that quality reviewers can access them without logging into the phone system.

  • An IT team wants to apply its own retention, deletion, and backup policies to call recordings, rather than relying on whatever the phone platform defaults to.

How external call storage works in Voxbi

  1. Enable call recording

    Call recording must be active on the relevant users, queues, or call flows within the Voxbi Cockpit. Recordings are generated there first.

  2. Configure your external storage destination

    Connect your preferred cloud storage location to Voxbi so the system knows where to send completed recordings.

  3. Recordings are forwarded automatically

    When a recorded call ends, Voxbi routes the recording to your configured storage destination without manual intervention.

  4. Retrieve and manage recordings your way

    From your cloud storage, apply your own retention schedules, access controls, and retrieval workflows independently of the Voxbi platform.

Frequently asked questions

Which cloud storage providers are supported?

The specific cloud storage integrations available are not detailed here. Contact the Voxbi team for the current list of supported providers.

Does external storage replace call recording, or work alongside it?

External storage is where your recordings go, not a replacement for the recording function itself. Review the call recording feature page for details on how recording is set up, then configure external storage as the destination for completed recordings.

Is there a limit on how long recordings can be kept in external storage?

Retention limits in your external storage are governed by your own storage policies and any applicable regulatory requirements, not by Voxbi. This is one of the main reasons teams choose external storage: to apply longer or more specific retention schedules than the phone platform's defaults allow.
