    About this task

    For new deployments, the Real-Time Transcription feature is enabled during the guided setup for ServiceNow Voice.

    If you have already deployed ServiceNow Voice and are upgrading, go through all of the steps for Setting up ServiceNow Voice, and the steps in this procedure, before completing the setup on Amazon Connect.

    Procedure

    1. Add the system property sn_cti_itsm_cnt.enable_ims_update and set it to true.
      For more information on adding a new system property, see Add a system property.
    2. Navigate to All > Amazon Connect integration > View instances.
    3. Choose your instance, and click on the Setup guide related link.
    4. Select the checkbox at the top of the setup guide to enable Real Time Transcription setup.
      Once you select the Real Time Transcription checkbox, agents can see the conversation panel in their workpace.
    5. Proceed through the setup guide.
      Even if you have already set up your Amazon Connect integration, you must complete the setup tasks again, due to changes in the Lambda Cloudformation Template and contact flow.
    6. In the Setup Authentication step, create a user with "Web Service Only access".
      This user is intended only for communication between ServiceNow and Amazon Connect.
      1. Go to the Roles related list.
      2. Edit the user, and add the role interaction_integration_user.
      3. Click OK.
