The operation triggers a recording on the SIP PBX. When waitForRecordingCompletion is false the workflow continues immediately; otherwise it pauses until the recording stops. The legId option can be used to target a specific call leg. Sample‑rate and bit‑depth/bitrate options apply according to the selected file format.
Examples
Example 1: Record a call in WAV format, split channels, and wait for completion.
Set recordFilePath to 'recordings/${$json.callId}.wav', recordFileFormat to 'wav', recordSplitChannels to true, waitForRecordingCompletion to true.
