Amazon Connect Now Lets You Transfer Calls Between Queues Automatically
Amazon Connect now enables you to automatically transfer calls from one queue to another in your contact flow. This lets you minimize call wait times in your contact center, adjust to changing call patterns dynamically, or to assign calls to more qualified agents. You can use metrics, such as agent availability or the number of calls in the queue, to determine which queue to route the call to.
