### Answer Based on the available sources, I don't have explicit documentation on whether post-call analysis or variable extraction works when transcription and recording are disabled. However, here's what I can tell you about related features: Extract Variables in Real Time allows agents to extract and store dynamic variables mid-conversation, which get saved separately from the full transcript. [(1) ]() These collected variables appear in the

collected_dynamic_variables

field in the call response. [(2) ]() Data Storage Setting exists as a configurable option (

data_storage_setting

field) , which suggests there are controls over what gets stored. For your specific use case—capturing user path/choices via extracted variables while NOT storing transcripts/recordings—I'd recommend reaching out directly to confirm this configuration is supported: - Visit [Contact Sales]() - Visit [) Would you like me to provide a general answer based on how such systems typically work?
