Amazon Connect Adds New Contact API to Get Contact Attributes
Amazon Connect now provides a new contact API that lets you programmatically retrieve contact attributes for a given contact. Contact attributes are key-value pairs of data about a contact, such as the name of the caller, why they called, or the quality of service they received. Contact attributes can be stored using contact flow blocks or by API. For example, for a given contact, you might choose to set contact attributes to indicate why the customer was calling or how their issue was resolved. If the customer calls back, you can now use the new contact API to load the attributes associated with their previous contact in order to personalize the IVR experience or route them to an appropriate queue.
