Smart Filter – Intelligent Spam Call Blocking for Amazon Connect

Assessment & Deployment Duration: Typically 1–3 weeks depending on customer environment, governance requirements, and integration scope.

Overview: Smart Filter is an intelligent spam-call prevention solution designed to protect Amazon Connect contact centers from unwanted, fraudulent, and nuisance callers. The solution enables organizations to proactively manage spam calls through a centralized platform that allows agents and supervisors to identify, review, and block suspicious phone numbers.

Using an intuitive web-based dashboard, authorized users can add spam numbers to a centralized Spam Database. Once a number is identified and classified as spam, Amazon Connect automatically blocks future inbound calls from that number, preventing repetitive disruptions and ensuring agents remain available for genuine customer interactions.

The solution provides real-time visibility into blocked numbers, complete audit history, and centralized governance capabilities, helping organizations improve operational efficiency, strengthen security controls, and maintain a high-quality customer service experience.
