# Hey Pocket

Aila connects directly to Pocket (Hey Pocket), a pocket-sized call and meeting recorder. Use it on iPhone or Android. Recordings feed the [Intake Agent](https://docs.aila.fyi/agents/intake) and the [Call Compliance Agent](https://docs.aila.fyi/agents/compliance).

## What you need

- A Pocket device, paired with the Pocket app on your phone (iOS or Android).
- A Pocket account where you can create an API key and a webhook.
- No Aila app is needed. Aila connects to your Pocket account on the backend.

Pocket is a personal connection. Each person connects their own Pocket account, and Aila files that person's recordings under their name.

## How it works

1. You record a call on the Pocket device.
2. The recording moves from the device to the Pocket app on your phone.
3. Pocket sends Aila a webhook for the new recording.
4. Aila downloads the audio with your API key and processes the call.

## Connect

1. In Aila, go to **My settings > Connections** and find **Phone recording**. Admins can also use **Settings > Connections > Integrations > Connect** and search for **Hey Pocket**.
2. In the Pocket app or at [app.heypocket.com](https://app.heypocket.com), open **Settings**, then **Developers**.
3. Click **API Keys**, then **+ Create Key**, name it `Aila`, and copy the key.
4. In Aila, copy the **Webhook URL**. Aila shows it before you connect.
5. In Pocket, click **Webhooks**, then **+ Create Webhook**, and paste the URL. Subscribe to `recording.created` and `transcription.completed`. Aila doesn't need the webhook secret.
6. Paste the API key into Aila and click **Connect**.
7. In Pocket, click **Test** on the new webhook to confirm it works.

As soon as a recording uploads into Pocket, it's sent to Aila and processed.

## Replacing a lost device

Pair the new device with the same Pocket account. The connection is on the account, so recordings keep flowing to Aila. See the [Record calls FAQ](https://docs.aila.fyi/faq/record-calls).
