Deploy the latest generation of proactive, anticipatory customer service with the newly enhanced integration between Amazon Connect and Zendesk Support. This integration enables businesses to leverage sophisticated AI and machine learning services from AWS to improve contact center agent efficiency while reducing the time end-customers spend interacting with customer service.

The Amazon Connect app can:

  • Embed Amazon Connect's web-based softphone on the top bar of a Zendesk Support instance to enable:

    • Voice Channels
    • Chat Channels
    • Task Channels
    • Additional ability to handle multiple cross-channel concurrent contacts.
  • Link customers to a Zendesk Support user profile based on

    • the customers identifier
    • the customers user ID
    • custom Zendesk user fields (e.g. account number, Organisation ID, email address etc)
    • the customers ticket ID
    • the most recent open ticket of an identified user
    • templated searches for other queries supported by the Zendesk API
  • Automatically create a new ticket for each interaction, or allow an agent to manually create a new ticket or attach the interaction to an existing ticket.

  • Attach the following to a Zendesk Support ticket

    • Amazon Connect contact details
    • Call recording with audio playback and a download link
    • Advanced speech analysis through Amazon Connect's Contact Lens
    • Call & Chat Transcription embedded in the ticket
    • Customer and agent sentiment
    • Categories based on rules set within Contact Lens
    • Conversation characteristics
  • Pause and resume a call recording.

  • Enable media-less mode. This means that the embedded CCP instance will not carry any media, allowing your Zendesk Support instance to run in VDI environments, as well as reloading your Zendesk instance without interrupting a live interaction.

  • Amazon Connect VoiceID.

An integrated solution from Zendesk and Amazon Connect combines advanced contact center capabilities with a sophisticated ticketing system, empowering teams with powerful tools for routing, tracking, prioritizing and solving customer service interactions. Contact centers have a centralized platform for all customer communication to boost agent productivity, maintain full visibility into support operations, and enable seamless customer communication across channels.

This is a solid integration between Zendesk and Amazon Connect. The team behind this is employing the newest Zendesk technologies in close collaboration with Zendesk, who is funding the continuous development. We have engaged the integration product team on several occasions and they are very responsive.
