Amazon Connect now supports copy and bulk edit of agent scheduling configuration

Amazon Connect now supports copy and bulk edit of agent scheduling configuration, making it easier to set up and maintain agent schedules. You can create new scheduling configurations by copying existing ones — for example, copy a weekday shift profile to create a weekend variant, or, copy scheduling configuration (time-zone, weekly working hours, days off, etc.) from an existing agent to multiple new hires. When bulk editing, you can select specific fields to update, such as update time-zone and start date for new hires without changing their weekly working hours. These updates reduce time spent by managers on configuration management, thus improving productivity and operational efficiency. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Connect agent scheduling is available. To learn more about Amazon Connect agent scheduling, click here.

Amazon Connect now supports agent schedule adherence notifications

Amazon Connect now supports agent schedule adherence notifications, making it easier for you to proactively identify when agents aren’t adhering to their scheduled activities. You can define rules to automatically send email or text notifications (via EventBridge) to supervisors when agents exceed adherence thresholds. For example, if agent adherence drops below 85% in a trailing 15-minute window, supervisors can receive an email alert. These automated notifications eliminate the need for continuous dashboard monitoring and enable proactive intervention before service levels decline, improving both supervisor productivity and customer satisfaction. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Connect agent scheduling is available. To learn more about Amazon Connect agent scheduling, click here.
