GCX-GCD practice question 2 of 15

Which of the following statements are true? (Choose two.)

Choose your answer, then check it against the explanation and the full breakdown below.

Answer options

Correct Answer:

A, C

Explanation

Genesys Cloud CX provides robust capabilities for managing call recordings. The platform includes a comprehensive set of Platform APIs that allow developers to programmatically access and download recordings. This is essential for integration with external systems for analysis or archival. Additionally, Genesys Cloud CX supports integrations to export recordings to third-party cloud storage services, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3. This functionality enables organizations to implement long-term archival strategies and manage storage costs effectively by moving recordings to their own cloud storage infrastructure.

Why Incorrect

B. Genesys Cloud CX does not store recordings indefinitely. Recordings are subject to deletion based on configured recording management and retention policies.

D. This statement is factually incorrect. Genesys Cloud CX explicitly provides functionality to integrate with and export recordings to external cloud storage providers.

References

1. Genesys Cloud CX Developer Center, API Explorer, Recordings. The documentation for the GET /api/v2/conversations/{conversationId}/recordings/{recordingId} endpoint details how to retrieve recording metadata, which includes mediaUris containing signed URLs for downloading the recording media files. This directly supports option A.

Source: Genesys Cloud CX Developer Center, API Reference.

2. Genesys Cloud CX Resource Center, "About recording management". This official documentation page explains recording retention policies. It states, "Genesys Cloud deletes recordings when their retention period, as defined in a policy, expires." This directly refutes the claim of indefinite storage in option B.

3. Genesys Cloud CX Resource Center, "Export recordings". This document describes the process for bulk exporting recordings. It explicitly mentions, "You can create a job to export recordings to the Genesys Cloud secure S3 bucket." This confirms that integration for cloud storage is a supported feature, making option C correct and option D incorrect.

Question 2 of 15

Question breakdown

Tests: Understand recording access, retention, and export options
Difficulty: Easy

Key idea: Recordings can be retrieved through the Recording APIs and exported to customer cloud storage such as AWS S3 through an integration, and they are governed by retention policies rather than kept forever.

How to reach the answer

This is a choose-two question, and C and D contradict each other, so exactly one of them is true.
The AWS S3 recording bulk actions integration exists, so C is true and D is false.
The Recording APIs return media URIs that allow downloads, so A is true.
Recording policies set retention and deletion periods, so B ('indefinitely') is false.

Each option

ACorrect. The Recording APIs, including conversation recording endpoints and bulk jobs, let developers download recording media.
BIncorrect. Retention is controlled by recording policies, and recordings are deleted when their retention period expires.
CCorrect. An integration such as the AWS S3 recording bulk actions integration exports recordings to customer-owned cloud storage.
DIncorrect. This directly contradicts the supported S3 export integration.

Common trap: Because Genesys stores recordings in its own cloud, some assume it keeps them permanently, which makes B look plausible.

In practice: Teams use bulk recording export jobs to archive recordings to their own S3 bucket for long-term compliance beyond the Genesys retention window.

Remember: Recordings follow retention policies, can be downloaded by API, and can be exported to your own S3 bucket through an integration.
