Amazon Connect enhances hold duration tracking for multiparty calls

Amazon Connect now allows you to track durations of holds initiated by individual agents in multiparty calling scenarios through the new Agent Initiated Hold Duration field on the contact record. This new field allows contact center managers to gain insights into hold patterns at the individual agent level during customer interactions. This also provides other benefits including better agent performance management, allowing managers to identify areas for improvement in call handling. Additionally, it helps in optimizing your customers’ experience by providing insights into hold patterns and durations across different agents and scenarios. This level of granularity in data can lead to more informed decision-making in workforce management and training initiatives.

To learn more refer to our public documentation. This new feature is available in all AWS regions where Amazon Connect is available. To learn more about Amazon Connect, the AWS cloud-based contact center, please visit the Amazon Connect website.
