launches an appeals workflow for agent performance evaluations

Amazon Connect now

...

provides an integrated workflow to capture and resolve agent appeals of performance evaluations, enhancing evaluation fairness and agent engagement. When agents disagree with an evaluation, they can appeal the evaluation along with their reasoning directly within the Connect UI. For example, an agent who received a low evaluation score for active listening on a conversation, may appeal their evaluation by citing specific examples where they actively listened and acknowledged the customer’s problem. Designated managers then receive automated email notifications to review and resolve the appeal. Additionally, managers can monitor which evaluations have been appealed, and track their status, ensuring timely resolution of appeals.

introduces audio enhancements for noisy environments

Today, AWS announces the release of Audio Enhancement for Amazon Connect, helping improve audio quality and reliability for voice calls in noisy contact center environments. With this launch, you can enable Audio Enhancement for your agents so that end customers can hear them more clearly, even in the presence of background noise within the contact center environment.

The Audio Enhancement capability suppresses agent-side background noises and isolates agent voices, removing the effect of background noise and chatter in busy contact center environments. Audio Enhancement offers two specialized modes to match different agent setups. The "Voice Isolation" mode suppresses noises as well as background speech within the contact center, while the "Noise Suppression" mode only suppresses background noises. Contact center administrators can enable these capabilities for agents through the User Management page and select the appropriate mode based on their equipment and setup. Agents with proper permissions can also adjust their settings directly from the Contact Control Panel to optimize for their current environment.

The Audio Enhancement capability is available in all commercial AWS Regions where Amazon Connect is offered.

Amazon Connect Contact Lens now provides an audit trail for changes to an agent performance evaluation

Amazon Connect Contact Lens now provides an audit trail to review the changes made to an agent performance evaluation when it is re-submitted. This launch displays the audit trail, which was previously available within a customer’s S3 bucket, directly in the Amazon Connect UI. When an evaluator submits changes to an existing evaluation form, managers can now view an audit trail of who submitted the original evaluation, who re-submitted the evaluation, and what changes they made. Contact center managers can use this information to perform internal audits and improve consistency across evaluators.

...

AI-powered Task overviews with suggested next actions so agents can understand work items faster and resolve them more quickly. For example, when an agent receives a Task to process a refund request submitted through an online form, Amazon Connect summarizes earlier activities such as verifying order details, checking return eligibility, and confirming the payment method, and then presents recommended next steps to complete the refund.

To enable this feature, add the Connect assistant flow block to your flows before a Task contact is assigned to your agent. You can guide the recommendations of your generative AI-powered Tasks assistant by adding knowledge bases.

This new feature is available in all AWS regions where Amazon Connect real time agent assistance is available.

Automated rotation of agent shifts

You can create a pattern of shifts that agents will repeatedly rotate through (for example, morning shift, afternoon shift, night shift). You can define how many weeks each shift should be scheduled before moving to the next one in the rotation. This feature makes it easier to administrate schedules and ensure that agents receive a business-defined sequence of shifts.

Amazon Connect launches the ability to preferentially route contacts to specific agents within a queue

Amazon Connect now supports the ability to preferentially route a contact within a queue to specific agents. Using this new feature, you can now set the preferred agent(s) for a given contact, and if that agent is unavailable, fall back to the next set of routing criteria. You can also use this feature to integrate Amazon Connect’s routing with your own custom business logic or machine learning models to personalize matching each contact to the most suitable agent, resulting in better business outcomes and increased customer satisfaction. For example, you could route repeat contacts to the agent who previously handled the customer, and if that specific agent isn’t available, offer the contact to another available agent within the same queue.

Amazon Connect launches automated rotation of agent shifts

Amazon Connect now supports automated rotation of agent shifts, making it easier for contact center managers to administrate schedules and ensure that agents receive a business-defined sequence of shifts.

Automated shift rotations speed up the week-to-week scheduling process for contact center managers, eliminating the need to manually move agents between different shifts. With shift rotation, contact center managers can now create a pattern of shifts that agents will repeatedly rotate through (e.g., morning shift, afternoon shift, night shift) and define how many weeks each shift should be scheduled before moving to the next one in the rotation. These shift rotation patterns are automatically applied when new schedules are created, eliminating the need for contact center managers to manually assign shifts to groups of agents. Additionally, contact center managers can bulk upload and download shift rotation and shift profile assignments, making it easy to set up and update shift rotations for thousands of agents.

There is no additional charge for this feature and it is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Connect agent scheduling is available.

Amazon Connect launches search API for hierarchy groups

The SearchUserHierarchyGroups API is supported in all AWS regions where Amazon Connect is offered.

Amazon Connect launches search API for agent status

Amazon Connect now provides an API to search an agent status by name, ID, tag, or other criteria. Agent statuses are used in the Contact Control Panel (CCP) to indicate if an agent is available to handle contacts or not, for example because they are away for lunch or in training. With this new API, you can now answer questions such as, “How many of our statuses are disabled?”, and, “What statuses have ‘break’ in their description?”, and see a response with details like name, description, display order, and ARN.

The SearchAgentStatuses API is supported in all AWS regions where Amazon Connect is offered.

Amazon Connect Contact Lens now provides generative AI-powered summaries within seconds after a contact ends

Amazon Connect now supports tag-based access controls for cases

Amazon Connect now enables you to use tag-based access controls to define who can access specific cases. You can associate tags with case templates and configure security profiles to determine which users can access cases with those tags. For example, you can restrict access to fraud-related cases so that only agents in the fraud department can view or edit them.

Amazon Connect now simplifies linking related contacts to cases using flows

Amazon Connect now makes it easier to link related contacts such as email replies, call transfers, persistent chats, and queued callbacks to the same case so agents can view the complete customer journey and resolve issues faster. You can use flows to search for a case associated with a prior contact in the chain to follow-up contacts more easily.

In addition, you can now use flows to link a related contact to a case. For example, when you create a case via a Step-by-Step Guide, you can link that case to the main contact (e.g., voice, chat, email, or tasks) directly using flows.

Recurring overrides and visual calendar for hours of operation

Amazon Connect now makes it easier to manage contact center operating hours for recurring events like holidays, maintenance windows, and promotional periods, with a visual calendar that provides at-a-glance visibility by day, month, or year. You can set up recurring overrides that automatically take effect weekly, monthly, or every other Friday, and use them to provide customers with personalized experiences, all without having to manually revisit configurations. For example, every January 1st you can automatically greet customers with "Happy New Year!" and route them to a special holiday message before checking if agents are available, then on January 2nd your contact center automatically returns to normal operations. 

Agent screen recording status tracking

Amazon Connect now offers customers the ability to view status of agent screen recordings in near real time in CloudWatch using Amazon EventBridge. With screen recording, supervisors can identify areas for agent coaching (e.g., non-compliance with business processes) by not only listening to customer calls or reviewing chat transcripts, but also watching agents' actions while handling a contact (i.e., a voice call, chat and task). Using Amazon EventBridge, customers can see status of each agent screen recording including success/failure, failure codes with description, installed client version, agent web browser version, agent operating system, screen recording start and end times from CloudWatch.

Customers can start using Amazon Connect screen recording status tracking by subscribing to Screen Recording Status Changed event type in Amazon EventBridge event bus. 

Store nested JSON object and looping arrays

Amazon Connect now enables you to store and work with complex data structures in your flows, making it easy to build dynamic automated experiences that use rich information returned from your internal business systems. You can save complete data records, including nested JSON objects and lists, and reference specific elements within them, such as a particular order from a list of orders returned in JSON format.

Additionally, you can automatically loop through lists of items in your customer service flows, moving through each entry in sequence while tracking the current position in the loop. This allows you to easily access item-level details and present relevant information to end-customers. For example, a travel agency can retrieve all of a customer's itineraries in a single request and guide the caller through each booking to review or update their reservations. A bank can similarly walk customers through recent transactions one by one using data retrieved securely from its systems. These capabilities reduce the need for repeated calls to your business systems, simplify workflow design, and make it easier to deliver advanced automated experiences that adapt as your business requirements evolve.

Amazon Connect now provides agent scheduling metrics in data lake

Amazon Connect now provides agent scheduling metrics in data lake, making it easier for you to generate reports and insights from this data. For example, after publishing schedules for next month, you can access interval level (15 minutes or 30 minutes) metrics such as forecasted headcount, scheduled headcount, and projected service level in Connect analytics data lake. You can view aggregated metrics for an entire business unit (forecast group) or broken down by specific demand segments (demand groups). You can then visualize this data in Amazon Quick Sight or another BI tool of your choice for further analysis, such as identifying periods of over or under-staffing. This eliminates the need for manual reviews of agent schedules thus improving productivity for schedulers and supervisors.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Connect agent scheduling is available.

https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/01/amazon-connect-scheduling-metrics/  

 

Amazon Connect can now automatically select random samples of agent contacts for evaluation

Amazon Connect can now provide managers with random samples of agent contacts for evaluation, so they can provide fair coaching feedback to agents. Managers can specify how many contacts they need to review per agent, as per union agreements, regulations, or internal guidelines. They then receive the required number of contacts randomly selected from the specified timeframe, for example, 3 contacts per agent from the last week. Additionally, managers can use new filters to ensure that the selected contacts are suitable for evaluation, such as those with audio or screen recordings, transcripts, and exclude previously evaluated contacts.

This feature is available in all regions where Amazon Connect is offered.

Amazon Quick Suite now supports memory for chat agents

We are announcing memory for chat agents in Amazon Quick Suite – a feature that allows users to get personalized responses based on their previous conversations. With this feature, Quick Suite remembers the preferences users specify in chat and generate responses that are tailored to them. Users can also view their inferred preferences and remove any memory they don’t want Quick chat agents to use.

Previously, chat users needed to repeat their preferences around response format, acronyms, dashboards, and integrations in every conversation. They also had to clarify ambiguous topics and entities in chat, increasing the tedious back and forth needed to get accurate and insightful responses. Memory addresses this pain point by remembering facts and details about users in a way that ensures responses provided to users continuously learn and improve. Users also control what Quick Suite remembers about them – all the memories are viewable and removable by users, and users have the choice to start chat in Private Mode in which conversations are not used to infer memories.

Memory in Quick Suite chat agents is available in US East (N. Virginia) and US West (Oregon).

Amazon Connect outbound campaigns supports ring time configuration for unanswered calls

Amazon Connect outbound campaigns now offers campaign managers the ability to configure how long voice calls should ring—between a range of 15 and 60 seconds—before marking a call as “no answer” and moving to the next contact. Each contact also records when ringing began and ended for precise reporting and traceability.

When ring duration is static, businesses struggle to balance calling efficiency and customer reach. Calls that ring too briefly may miss customers who take longer to answer, while excessive ring times delay overall campaign pacing. This lack of control leads to inconsistent contact rates and reduced agent productivity.

With configurable ring time, campaign managers can tune dialing behavior to their audience for each campaign, use analytics to see exactly how long each call rang, and understand where connections were missed. This visibility helps identify patterns, refine calling strategies, and continuously improve campaign effectiveness.

With Amazon Connect outbound campaigns, companies pay-as-they-go for campaign processing and channel usage. This feature is available in AWS regions, including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), and Europe (London).

Amazon Connect outbound campaigns supports preview dialing for greater agent control

Amazon Connect outbound campaigns now offers a preview dialing mode that gives agents more context about a customer before placing a call. Agents can see key customer information—such as name, account balance, and prior interactions—and choose the right moment to call. Campaign managers can tailor preview settings and monitor performance through new dashboards that bring visibility to agent behavior, campaign outcomes, and customer engagement trends.

Without proper context, agents struggle to personalize interactions, leading to low customer engagement and poor experiences. Additionally, businesses can face steep regulatory penalties under laws such as the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) or the UK Office of Communications (OFCOM) for delays in customer-agent connection.

With preview dialing, campaign managers can define review time limits and optionally enable contact removal from campaigns. During preview, agents see a countdown timer alongside customer data and can initiate calls at any moment. Analytics reveal performance patterns—such as average preview time or discard volume—giving managers data to optimize strategy and coach teams effectively. By reserving an agent prior to placing the call, companies can support compliance with regulations while bringing precision to outbound calling, improving both customer connection and operational control.

With Amazon Connect outbound campaigns, companies pay-as-they-go for campaign processing and channel usage. Preview dialing is available in AWS regions, including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), and Europe (London).
