Amazon Connect Service

2019/11/21 - Amazon Connect Service - 1 new 2 updated api methods

Changes  This release adds a new API: StartChatContact. You can use it to programmatically start a chat on the specified Amazon Connect instance. Learn more here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/APIReference/Welcome.html

StartChatContact (new) Link ¶

Initiates a contact flow to start a new chat for the customer. Response of this API provides a token required to obtain credentials from the CreateParticipantConnection API in the Amazon Connect Participant Service.

When a new chat contact is successfully created, clients need to subscribe to the participant’s connection for the created chat within 5 minutes. This is achieved by invoking CreateParticipantConnection with WEBSOCKET and CONNECTION_CREDENTIALS.
