Amazon Connect launches auto-accept for tasks, chats, and emails
Amazon Connect now supports the ability to configure agents with auto-accept settings for chat, tasks, emails, and callbacks. When auto-accept is enabled, incoming contacts are automatically connected to available agents instead of waiting on the agent to manually accept or reject each contact, ensuring that customers receive timely assistance. Previously, these settings were available only for inbound voice contacts. You can now enable these settings at the channel level for each agent to further optimize how agents spend their time. For example, you could choose to enable auto-accept for tasks while keeping auto-accept disabled for voice calls to ensure that the agent is connected to a voice call only once they indicate they are ready.
This feature is available in all AWS regions where Amazon Connect is offered. To learn more about this feature, see the Amazon Connect Administrator Guide. To learn more about Amazon Connect, the AWS cloud-based contact center, please visit the Amazon Connect website.
