- Our internal Amazon Connect number is 1-833-839-4246.
- We've configured 512-471-5000 AND 512-232-5400 to forward to this phone number.
- Outbound calls from Amazon Connect will show as coming from 512-368-9877.
- However, some callers may see something like "UT LAITS" depending on their phone provider
- Although users can call either of these numbers to reach support, we should not advertise these numbers.
Amazon has extensive documentation for how Connect works, and it's easy to learn. Please review their documentation if what's here doesn't answer your question, we do not want to reinvent the wheel re:documentation.
Finally, we also pay for AWS business support, so additional support if available from Amazon if needed.

- If the customer presses 1, they are placed in the queue at priority one. Otherwise, they are placed in the queue at priority two
- The customer is then put into queue, and hears hold music until an agent receives their call
- Every 2 minutes of being in queue, a text-to-speech message plays, reading "Press 1 if you want to receive a callback when the next agent is available, you will not lose your place in line. Otherwise, remain on the line."
- If the customer presses 2 or does nothing, they remain in queue
