Inputs

  • maxDurationSeconds — Maximum duration of the recording in seconds.
  • recordFileFormat — Format of the recorded audio file (e.g., WAV, MP3, Opus, OGG).
  • recordOutputType (required) — How the recording should be returned: binary, file, or HTTP.
  • recordBinaryProperty — n8n item.binary property name to use for binary data (default: data).
  • recordFilePath (required) — Final absolute or relative output file path on the n8n host (e.g., recordings/call-123.wav).
  • recordHttpUrl (required) — HTTP or HTTPS destination URL for upload (e.g., https://api.example.com/upload/call.wav).
  • recordHttpAuthentication — Authentication method for HTTP upload (None, Predefined, Generic).
  • recordHttpNodeCredentialType (required) — Credential type for predefined credentials when using HTTP authentication.
  • recordHttpGenericAuthType (required) — Credential type for generic authentication when using HTTP.
  • interruptOn — Condition to interrupt recording (DTMF or Silence).
  • legId — Identifier of the telephony leg to operate on.
  • stopOtherMedia — Stop other active media on the same leg before starting this one.
  • mediaExecutionMode — Execution mode: blocking (wait for completion) or background.
  • recordWavSampleRate — Sample rate for WAV recordings (default: 8000).
  • recordWavBitDepth — Bit depth for WAV recordings (default: 16).
  • silenceThreshold — Silence threshold level for detecting silent audio.
  • silenceDurationMs — Minimum silence duration in milliseconds to consider stopping.
  • recordHttpMethod — HTTP method to use for upload (POST or PUT).
  • recordHttpHeaders — Headers to include in HTTP requests.
  • recordCompressedSampleRate — Sample rate for compressed audio recordings.
  • recordCompressedBitrate — Bitrate for compressed audio recordings.

Output shape

binary data or file path (depends on Output Type)

When Output Type is 'binary' or 'file', the operation returns the recorded data; when 'http', it returns upload response; otherwise a simple success indicator.

Examples

Example 1: Record a call and store it as a local WAV file.

Set File Format to WAV, Output Type to File, define File Path, set Max DurationSeconds to 30.

Example 2: Upload the recording to an HTTP endpoint.

Set Output Type to HTTP, provide URL, choose authentication type, optionally set HTTP Method and add headers.

Example 3: Record compressed Opus audio in background mode.

Select File Format Opus, Output Type Binary, set Execution Mode to Background, configure Compressed Sample Rate and Bitrate.
