# Template: how to enable a call recording

|| To build this call flow manually using the full Call Flow Builder instead, see: [How to enable a call recording](https://help.nimbata.com/en/article/how-to-enable-a-call-recording-1dtkuq8/).

||| IMPORTANT: In EU countries, recording calls requires the caller's explicit consent before the recording begins. An opt-out option alone is not sufficient. Use a [Call Greeting](https://help.nimbata.com/en/article/how-to-set-up-call-greetings-1wn6uuj/) to play a consent message before the call connects.

The **Simple with Recording** template creates a call flow with Record and Dial already wired together; just select a destination number and you're live.

* Click **Create**.
* Select **From Template**.

* Click the **Dial** action and select the destination number you want calls forwarded to.
