Stuck on SIP Trunk Recording Metadata Loss in Bulk Export Job

Stuck on a discrepancy between live SIP trunk recordings and the bulk export job results for legal discovery requests. The environment is EU-West (London) running Genesys Cloud CX 2024.2. We are using SDK version 2.4 for the integration with our S3 BYOC bucket. The issue specifically affects voice channels routed through our primary SIP trunk, while digital channels like Web Chat remain unaffected.

The bulk export job initiates correctly via the Architect flow, targeting interactions tagged with a specific legal hold case number. However, upon completion, the resulting CSV manifest and associated audio files in the S3 bucket lack critical metadata fields. Specifically, the call_direction and trunk_id fields are null in the export CSV, even though these fields are populated correctly in the Genesys Cloud web interface under the recordings tab. This breaks our chain of custody validation process, as we require the trunk ID to verify the source of the call for legal compliance.

We have verified the SIP trunk configuration in Admin, and the record_calls setting is enabled with record_both_legs active. The individual recording API calls return the correct metadata. The problem appears isolated to the batch processing logic of the bulk export feature. We attempted to add a custom data action to force a metadata refresh before the export, but the job still fails to capture the trunk details.

Is there a known limitation with SIP trunk metadata propagation in bulk exports for the 2024.2 release? Or is there a specific configuration in the Architect flow that needs to be adjusted to ensure these fields are included in the final export payload? Any insight into why the live view differs from the export view would be appreciated. We need to resolve this before our next audit cycle.

The problem here is…

  • Metadata stripping often occurs when the S3 bucket policy lacks explicit s3:GetObjectTagging permissions for the Genesys Cloud service principal
  • Verify the BYOC edge configuration includes the recording-metadata flag in the export schema
  • Check if the SDK 2.4 integration is correctly mapping the SIP trunk’s custom headers to the export payload

It depends, but generally… missing S3 tagging permissions are the usual culprit for metadata loss in BYOC exports.

AccessDenied: User: arn:aws:iam::... is not authorized to perform: s3:GetObjectTagging on resource: arn:aws:s3:::...

You need to validate the BYOC edge configuration. The s3:GetObjectTagging denial confirms the service principal lacks tagging access.

AccessDenied: User: arn:aws:iam::… is not authorized to perform: s3:GetObjectTagging on resource: arn:aws:s3:::…

Add this permission to the bucket policy.
