Configure Contact Flow​

  1. Navigate to Amazon Connect service on your AWS console and choose your Amazon Connect account’s instance alias.
  2. Choose Log in for emergency access.
  3. Once your Amazon Connect instance opens, navigate to Flows under Routing menu on the left sidebar.
  4. Search for the provisioned sample contact flow name Sample SCC Omni-Channel Subflow - Task Routing and choose it.
  5. Once the contact flow is opened, on the bottom right of the screen, find the dropdown section with title About this flow. Expand it and choose the View ARN button. Copy and save the contact flow’s ARN.
  6. Back on the SCC-AC Guided Setup page in Salesforce, under the Setup Unified Routing section, choose Provide Contact Flow ARN For Unified Routing and enter the contact flow’s ARN copied in the previous step.
  7. If you’d like to assign another personalized contact flow to set up Unified Routing, choose Provide Contact Flow ARN For Unified Routing and provide your own contact flow’s ARN.

Test Your Omni-Channel Implementation​

By default, the case will be routed to Amazon Connect agents assigned to the queue SCC-BasicQueue, as this is the default queue for SCC-AC unified routing contact flow Sample SCC Omni-Channel Subflow - Task Routing.

If the case is assigned to an Omni-Queue which has been mapped to an Amazon Connect queue in this contact center, the case will be routed using the mapped Amazon Connect queue instead of SCC-BasicQueue. For more information please refer to Map Your Salesforce Queues to Telephony Provider Queues.

Before testing, make sure the agent is added in Salesforce to the same contact center as the unified routing contact flow, and that their routing profile in Amazon Connect includes either SCC-BasicQueue or the targeted mapped queue. For more information, please refer to Set Up Contact Center Users.
