Overview of this book

Amazon Connect is a pay-as-you-go cloud contact center solution that powers Amazon’s customer contact system and provides an impressive user experience while reducing costs. Connect's scalability has been especially helpful during COVID-19, helping customers with research, remote work, and other solutions, and has driven adoption rates higher.

Complete with hands-on tutorials, costing profiles, and real-world use cases relating to improving business operations, this easy-to-follow guide will teach you everything you need to get your call center online, interface with critical business systems, and take your customer experience to the next level. As you advance, you'll understand the benefits of using Amazon Connect and cost estimation guidelines for migration and new deployments. Later, the book guides you through creating AI bots, implementing interfaces, and leveraging machine learning for business analytics. By the end of this book, you'll be able to bring a Connect call center online with all its major components and interfaces to significantly reduce personnel overhead and provide your customers with an enhanced user experience (UX).

Capturing the caller's number

To get started with making our modifications, use the process we discussed in previous chapters to edit the contact flow called Sample interruptible queue flow with callback.

Your screen will change to the contact flow editing screen. First, let's change the name to match our naming convention since this will no longer be a sample. I've named mine Mega Mercy - Callback. Click on the pencil, as noted in Figure 9.1, to edit the name:

We will want to change the loop prompt component settings. By default, it is set to customerqueue.wav. We should change this to something else so that it's more descriptive, and we can come back later and know what it's playing. I've changed mine to jazz (Figure 9.2); the soothing, yet not sleepy tones fit well with a call center:
