Amazon Connect Service

2024/10/01 - Amazon Connect Service - 1 new 1 updated api methods

Changes  Amazon Connect introduces StartOutboundChatContact API allowing customers to initiate outbound chat contacts

StartOutboundChatContact (new) Link ¶

Initiates a new outbound SMS contact to a customer. Response of this API provides the ContactId of the outbound SMS contact created.

SourceEndpoint only supports Endpoints with CONNECT_PHONENUMBER_ARN as Type and DestinationEndpoint only supports Endpoints with TELEPHONE_NUMBER as Type. ContactFlowId initiates the flow to manage the new SMS contact created.

This API can be used to initiate outbound SMS contacts for an agent or it can also deflect an ongoing contact to an outbound SMS contact by using the StartOutboundChatContact Flow Action.

For more information about using SMS in Amazon Connect, see the following topics in the Amazon Connect Administrator Guide :

BatchPutContact (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'ContactDataRequestList': {'CustomerEndpoint': {'Type': {'CONNECT_PHONENUMBER_ARN'}},
                            'SystemEndpoint': {'Type': {'CONNECT_PHONENUMBER_ARN'}}}}

Note

Only the Amazon Connect outbound campaigns service principal is allowed to assume a role in your account and call this API.

Allows you to create a batch of contacts in Amazon Connect. The outbound campaigns capability ingests dial requests via the PutDialRequestBatch API. It then uses BatchPutContact to create contacts corresponding to those dial requests. If agents are available, the dial requests are dialed out, which results in a voice call. The resulting voice call uses the same contactId that was created by BatchPutContact.
