Amazon Connect outbound campaigns supports preview dialing for greater agent control

Amazon Connect outbound campaigns now offers a preview dialing mode that gives agents more context about a customer before placing a call. Agents can see key customer information—such as name, account balance, and prior interactions—and choose the right moment to call. Campaign managers can tailor preview settings and monitor performance through new dashboards that bring visibility to agent behavior, campaign outcomes, and customer engagement trends. Without proper context, agents struggle to personalize interactions, leading to low customer engagement and poor experiences. Additionally, businesses can face steep regulatory penalties under laws such as the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) or the UK Office of Communications (OFCOM) for delays in customer-agent connection. With preview dialing, campaign managers can define review time limits and optionally enable contact removal from campaigns. During preview, agents see a countdown timer alongside customer data and can initiate calls at any moment. Analytics reveal performance patterns—such as average preview time or discard volume—giving managers data to optimize strategy and coach teams effectively. By reserving an agent prior to placing the call, companies can support compliance with regulations while bringing precision to outbound calling, improving both customer connection and operational control. With Amazon Connect outbound campaigns, companies pay-as-they-go for campaign processing and channel usage. Preview dialing is available in AWS regions, including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), and Europe (London). To learn more about configuring preview dialing, visit our webpage.

Amazon CloudWatch Agent adds support for Windows Event Log Filters

Amazon CloudWatch agent has added support for configurable Windows Event log filters. This new feature allows customers to selectively collect and send system and application events to CloudWatch from Windows hosts running on Amazon EC2 or on-premises. The addition of customizable filters helps customers to focus on events that meet specific criteria, streamlining log management and analysis. Using this new functionality of the CloudWatch agent, you can define filter criteria for each Windows Event log stream in the agent configuration file. The filtering options include event levels, event IDs, and regular expressions to either “include” or “exclude” text within events. The agent evaluates each log event against your defined filter criteria to determine whether it should be sent to CloudWatch. Events that don’t match your criteria are discarded. Windows event filters help you to manage your log ingestion by processing only the events you need, such as those containing specific error codes, while excluding verbose or unwanted log entries. Amazon CloudWatch Agent is available in all commercial AWS Regions, and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To get started, see Create or Edit the CloudWatch Agent Configuration File in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.

Amazon Redshift auto-copy is now available in 4 additional AWS regions

Amazon Redshift auto-copy is now available in the AWS Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (Thailand), Mexico (Central), and Asia Pacific (Taipei) regions. With Auto-Copy, you can set up continuous file ingestion from your Amazon S3 prefix and automatically load new files to tables in your Amazon Redshift data warehouse without the need for additional tools or custom solutions. Previously, Amazon Redshift customers had to build their data pipelines using COPY commands to automate continuous loading of data from S3 to Amazon Redshift tables. With auto-copy, you can now setup an integration which will automatically detect and load new files in a specified S3 prefix to Redshift tables. The auto-copy jobs keep track of previously loaded files and exclude them from the ingestion process. You can monitor auto-copy jobs using system tables. To learn more, see the documentation or check out the AWS Blog.
