Integration Details
Amazon Connect is a cloud-based contact center solution that makes it easy to create and manage a customer contact center at any scale. Amazon Connect is easy to use and even comes with pre-configured integration with popular Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems. An API can be used to build customized integrations. Eleveo supports integration with Amazon Connect to allow agent Performance Tracking, Quality Management processing, and to satisfy Compliance or Archival requirements. Eleveo integrates seamlessly with of Amazon Connect as a contact center and provides the ability to access and store recordings from within the Amazon S3 servers. Associated metadata processed by Amazon is also captured by Eleveo, allowing for any Amazon Connect implementation to leverage the benefits provided by Quality Management. Managers can benefit from enhanced control over the quality of service and team performance which stems from having an adequately trained and assessed team.
You can take advantage of the complete Suite of features in conjunction with your regular use of the Amazon Connect recording platform. The integration enables the retrieval and storage of recorded conversations and media files onto the Call Recording servers.
How It Works
Amazon Connect stores all recorded calls (contacts in amazon terminology) to a configurable S3 bucket. After a call ends it is also possible to configure Amazon Connect to store Contact Trace Records into Amazon Kinesis. Contact Trace Records contain important information related to the recorded conversation including calling and called parties, the ID of the agent who handled the call, and the location of recorded wave files, plus additional information.
The media importer is able to connect to both the S3 storage bucket and to Amazon Kinesis, receive event information about recorded calls, and then downloads the WAV file from within the Amazon S3 bucket. The media importer saves WAV files taken from the S3 bucket to a configurable location on the Eleveo server. The media importer will then create a corresponding record within the Call Recording database containing information about the recorded media and metadata.
