titleContact Flows + how to close the call center

Contact Flows are visual representations of how Amazon Connect routes calls. They look like flowcharts, and their blocks include actions like assigning a call to a queue, playing a message or hold music, requesting user input, etc.

Our current configuration of Amazon Connect uses the following contact flows:

  • LAITS Call Introduction
    • The first place a calls goes. This plays a welcome message and sets various behaviors/variables before handing it off to another flow.
    • This is the flow to edit when we want to close the office for a meeting/event/emergency

      • To close the call center:Close Call Center


        • Move the connector from the top Play prompt to the one below, as indicated. You will have to do this twice, once for each output from the previous step.
        • Click the red square to edit the text-to-speech message as appropriate, be sure to include our email address.

        • When the change has been made, click save and then publish in the top right.
        • Once we're open again, reconnect the arrows to the top Play prompt, save and publish.
  • LAITS Main Queue Flow
    • The heavy lifter. This flow does a lot - it checks our hours of operations and plays appropriate messages/solicits relevant input. It then routes the call appropriately
  • LAITS Queue 
    • This flow handles the hold/waiting loop. It plays hold music and asks the customer if they'd like to receive a call back rather than waiting in queue
  • LAITS Bot Chat
    • This flow handles chats initiated by the chatbot
  • LAITS Basic Chat
    • This flow handles chats initiated by visiting chat.laits.utexas.edu
