Amazon Connect is a powerful contact center solution by AWS. It provides web-based softphone for agents. The default softphone is generic and simple. With Arta, the softphone has been rewritten specific to Freshdesk. The custom contact control panel (CCP) offers interesting features such as: ● Setting up call logs, customer identification ● Visibility for agents into caller history, previous ticket info ● Agents enabled to take notes while talking to the customer Given below is a list of key features available (new features are being added continuously). On-Call (on receipt of an incoming call) ● Known Caller o If a caller is already in the Freshdesk contacts, then the Caller Name will be displayed to the agent. o All open tickets for that caller will be displayed to the agents. If there’s more than one open ticket available for that user, then the ticket list will be displayed to the agent. o The agent will have an option to create a new ticket if the caller is calling for a new issue. o The agent could select any ticket from the list and add notes to that ticket while talking to the caller. o If no open tickets are available for a caller, then a new ticket will be created automatically. ● Unknown Caller o If a caller is not in the Freshdesk contacts, then the Caller Name will be displayed to the agent as “Unknown Caller”. o If the caller is Unknown, then a ticket will not be created automatically.
