Record an ad hoc call in the Nova desktop app when you don’t have a scheduled or calendar-linked meeting.


Before recording

Unscheduled calls use the same permissions as scheduled meetings in Nova.

Before you record a call:

  • Make sure all participants are aware that the meeting will be transcribed
  • Follow applicable laws before starting the recording
  • There is no maximum recording duration

Record an unscheduled call

To record an unscheduled call:

  • In Nova, select “Record call”
  • Review “Confirm participant notice” and make sure all participants are aware that the meeting will be transcribed and that you have followed applicable laws
  • Select “Accept and proceed” to start recording. If you don’t want to continue, select “Exit”
  • When you’re finished recording, click the “Stop” icon

Nova can capture any audio available to Nova on your computer. You don’t need a scheduled or calendar-linked meeting to record the call.


After the call

After you stop recording, Nova completes the recording and transcription.

Nova then associates the recording with an automatically created Pipedrive activity.
