Amazon Connect Customer helps a variety of personas:
-
Customers reach out to your contact center because they are having trouble with some issue they can't resolve for themselves, or resolve easily. They want the ability to contact your contact center using any method they choose.
-
Agents are responsible for helping customers solve general problems, and come to a quick resolution whenever possible. They spend most of their time interacting with customers, whether through voice, chat, SMS, or other channels, and then documenting the interaction.
-
Contact center managers and supervisors spend most of their day monitoring their team's metrics and readjusting their configuration to be optimal for their business. They onboard most new agents, and provide coaching to help their team members grow.
-
Administrators handle the entire Amazon Connect Customer configuration. They provision phone numbers and integrate Amazon Connect Customer with other products. Along with contact center managers, they define queues and routing profiles, implement flows, and create rules to set up alerts and notifications.
