  • After the installation and configuration of Amazon Connect, you must sync agents to enable live transfer. You can sync agents stored in Amazon Connect with the agents on your ServiceNow agents.

    Before you begin

    Role required: admin

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Conversational Interfaces > Settings > Virtual Agent.
    2. On the Virtual Agent Settings page, navigate to the Configure your interactive voice response (IVR) section and click Configure IVR under Configure pre-built adapter.
    3. On the Configure interactive voice response page, select VA Amazon Connect Adapter Provider from the Select IVR service provider drop-down.
    4. Under Provider Channel Identities, select the identity provider that you want to sync agents for.
    5. On the Amazon Connect information form, in the Sync your call center agents tile, click Sync agents.
    6. Add the following roles to the agents to sync them with your ServiceNow instance and the Amazon Connect account.
      • sn_va_as_service.contact_center_api
      • awa_agent
      • interaction_agent
      • agent_workspace_user
      • sn_openframe_user
      • awa_integration_user

      Add each user, who must handle a Live Agent Transfer, to the Agent Phone Group by navigating to System Security > Users and Groups > Groups.

    7. In the filter navigation bar on your ServiceNow instance, enter awa_presence_state.list to find the Presence States table.
    8. Open the Available state, move the Phone Service Channel from the Available field to the Selected field and click Update.
      Login as the synced user and make sure that the agent is available in Agent Workspace and also login to the Amazon Connect instance with the same ServiceNow user to verify.
