Add Marker

Overview

Adds segment markers to any recorded call.

A segment of the recorded media can be marked automatically by your application. This way users can easily identify important segments of a recording in the web-based player of the system. This API allows to define multiple marker segments for a call.

A typical application is to mark segments where e.g. a voice contract was made over telephone.

You can use the function to start and end segments during the call, or define segment periods during or after the call.

The function is available as a HTTP GET or HTTP POST request.

mmode	mmode=start	Marker mode can be one of the followings: start - this mode sets a new marker at the current time position in the call end - this mode ends a marker at the current time position in the call segment - this mode adds a marker with a defined start and end position Markers is defined by their name for segment start and end calls, therefore marker names should be different if multiple markers are added. Markers should not overlap.	Mandatory Start and End more requires that status is ongoing.
mname	mname=Agreement	Key-value pair defining the identifier of the custom field variable and the data itself.	Mandatory
mstart	mstart=15	This parameter defines the end of a marker segment in seconds. If mmode is not segment, this parameter is not used.	Mandatory if the mmode is segment
mend	mend=30	This parameter defines the end of a marker segment in seconds. If mmode is not segment, this parameter is not used.	Mandatory if the mmode is segment
