Amazon Connect: Beyond the Basics - Lex Self-Service
This 2-hour virtual session covers core concepts related to the creation and configuration of Amazon Lex and its capability to incorporate self-service interactions into your Amazon Connect call center. This session requires:
- A general knowledge of various common AWS services leveraged alongside Amazon Connect (Amazon S3, Amazon CloudWatch)
- A high-level understanding of voice and/or chat bot interactions
- An understanding of what it takes to create your own Amazon Connect instance, edit IVR contact flows, and creation of a simple Lex bot
- (Preferred) Understanding of API requests. True self-service enablement requires retrieving caller data from a 3rd party, most commonly a CRM or backend database. This session will provide a simple AWS CloudFormation script to use an Amazon DynamoDB table in place of a CRM for demonstration purposes.
This small-group interactive session will provide some insight into this new functionality and enable you to start your own testing and explore Lex’s capabilities.
Who Should Watch
Solution Architects, IT decision makers, and business stakeholders who have some familiarity with Amazon Connect’s capabilities and want to understand the value and effort to incorporate Lex-enabled self-service interactions.
