General settings

General settings contains the primary configuration for Contact Center. It displays information about your Amazon Connect instance, Cognito authentication details, channels, and connection. It’s also the place to activate or deactivate features, such as Wisdom Knowledge Base, voice ID, and resolution code dashboards.

General settings also contains the color theming option to customize interface colors and add logos for both the sidebar and sign in screen.

Channel settings

Channel settings include channel settings and any social accounts connected to your Contact Center instance.

Workflow settings

Workflows include a default workflow and custom workflows.

The default workflow defines foundational settings for all queues. In contrast, custom workflows allow administrators to modify these settings for specific situations. With workflows, a wide range of actions can be configured including auto-accepting incoming contacts, profile creation, automatic messaging, voice transcripts, interface extensions and after call work (ACW).

Utilities settings

Utilities enhance Contact Center by offering agents actionable tasks or dynamic content. They can range from embedding an external web page within Contact Center, to using a task template, such as integrating with JIRA to create new tickets.

Resolution code settings

Resolution codes clarify the outcome of a client's service request. Admins can add new resolution codes manually or upload them in bulk. The feature also allows codes to be organized into folders for better management.

Snippets settings

Snippets help agents communicate more efficiently and save time by using preset responses. Within this section, admins can manage snippets, assign them to specific content types, and restrict them to particular queues.

Customer profiles settings

Customer profile settings contains two parts, matching rules and customer search. Matching rules determine the attributes used to identify existing customer profiles. If multiple profiles match, agents select the most appropriate profile. Under customer search, permissions related to profile searches can be adjusted.

Dashboard settings

Dashboards are essential for monitoring and managing your contact center. These settings relate to dashboard access and viewing rights.
