### Answer
Yes, when you select
"Basic Attributes Only", you will still get basic metadata about the call. [(1) ](
)
Here's what happens with this setting:
-
Basic Attributes Only stores only metadata (no transcripts/recordings/logs) .
- If you query the call with the Get Call API later, you will not get transcripts, recordings, or logs fields.
However, you will continue to receive
webhook events where you can access the transcript, call recording, and other sensitive data.
- Note: The call recording link will expire after
10 minutes upon receiving the webhook.
So basic attributes like caller ID, call duration, timestamps, and metadata remain available, but transcripts and recordings won't be stored on Retell's side—you'd need to capture them via webhook if needed.
