Why should you know about in-app web call for Amazon Connect?

AWS released in-app web call for Amazon Connect on Nov 28 2023 during AWS re:Invent.

I think this release is the biggest release for Amazon Connect during AWS re:Invent, because it makes Amazon Connect enabled WebRTC channel for customer side.

You can easily implement call function on your web apps and mobile apps.

Additionally this feature improve resilience of Amazon Connect, because if voice channel wasn’t available, customers could use WebRTC channel instead.

Sample Application

I prepared a sample application to provide dynamic and personalized call routing with in-app web call.

You can download and use it here(Github link).

After you download and run the app, you can see this screen.

There are 2 radio buttons.

The one is for simple web call that just calls in-app web call.

The another one is for text-based call routing that calls in-app web call and places a call to specific queue by recognizing customer inputted text.

Both of them connect the same contact flow.

Dynamic Call routing with seamless on-screen operation

As you can see, there are 2 call types and the one contact flow.

You can set contact attributes when you invoke in-app web call API.

Therefore you can handle a call with “check contact attributes” block, like this.

That means you can build dynamic contact flow and improve customer experience with your flexible UI.

Customers can input information and initiate inquiries from your web app with seamless on-screen operation.

As a result, customers and operators can save their time.

Handle more complicated information with generative AI

In text-based call routing, you can enter an inquiry text and generative AI recognize and classify the text and place it into a appropriate queue.

What I want to say is not only the power of generative AI, but also the power of handling multiple and complicated information from web apps.

It’s difficult to implement contact flow to handle multiple and complicated inquires only with dtmf IVR.

Even if you can build it, it takes long time to start talk with an operator.

Now a days, almost every people have a smartphone and they are familiar to browse web sites, input text and call on it.

When you want to call a contact center, you start to search the phone number to call on smartphone at first.

If you can input your inquiry and call with seamless on-screen operation and your call connect an appropriate operator in short term, it’s wonderful customer experience, isn’t it?
