Overview of this book

Amazon Connect is a pay-as-you-go cloud contact center solution that powers Amazon’s customer contact system and provides an impressive user experience while reducing costs. Connect's scalability has been especially helpful during COVID-19, helping customers with research, remote work, and other solutions, and has driven adoption rates higher. Amazon Connect: Up and Running will help you develop a foundational understanding of Connect's capabilities and how businesses can effectively estimate the costs and risks associated with migration. Complete with hands-on tutorials, costing profiles, and real-world use cases relating to improving business operations, this easy-to-follow guide will teach you everything you need to get your call center online, interface with critical business systems, and take your customer experience to the next level. As you advance, you'll understand the benefits of using Amazon Connect and cost estimation guidelines for migration and new deployments. Later, the book guides you through creating AI bots, implementing interfaces, and leveraging machine learning for business analytics. By the end of this book, you'll be able to bring a Connect call center online with all its major components and interfaces to significantly reduce personnel overhead and provide your customers with an enhanced user experience (UX).

The solution requires our Connect instance ID and the Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket name of where the chat transcripts are kept. Let's start by capturing the instance ID. If you recall, we have captured the instance ID for Connect before. If you don't have it handy, you can get it from the Overview section in the AWS management console for Connect, as we did for the voicemail solution in Chapter 10, Implementing Voicemail. You can see the ARN for your instance in the following screenshot. The instance ID is the UID located after the /. Save this information for use later:
