Amazon Connect data and AWS access

Use this reference to review what the Amazon Connect integration reads from your AWS account and how it gets access, for example during a security review. Assembled only reads data. It never changes anything in your AWS account or in Amazon Connect.

To set up the integration, see Amazon Connect integration.

How Assembled accesses your AWS account

Assembled doesn’t store credentials for your AWS account. It uses AWS Security Token Service (STS) role assumption, a standard and auditable AWS pattern:

  1. The CloudFormation template creates an IAM role named AllowAssembledReadAccess in your AWS account. Its trust policy lets Assembled’s AWS account assume the role.
  2. When Assembled syncs, it assumes the role and gets short-lived credentials. They aren’t stored.
  3. With those credentials, Assembled reads your agent events stream, your CTR bucket, and your Amazon Connect users.

To revoke access at any time, delete the AllowAssembledReadAccess role.

The role’s policies only allow reading:

Policy Actions Applies to
<region>-assembled-read-kinesis-policy kinesis:DescribeStream, kinesis:GetRecords, kinesis:GetShardIterator, kinesis:ListShards Your agent events stream
assembled-read-s3-policy s3:GetObject, s3:ListBucket Your CTR bucket and the files in it
assembled-read-connect-policy connect:ListUsers, connect:DescribeUser, connect:ListSecurityProfiles Your Amazon Connect users and security profiles, used to match team members and import people

What data Assembled reads

Assembled reads contact trace records (CTRs) from your S3 bucket, agent events from your Kinesis stream, and user details from the Amazon Connect API.

Contact trace records

Amazon Connect creates a CTR when a contact ends. Assembled reads these fields from each one.

Contact details:

Field What it is
ContactId The contact’s unique ID
InitialContactId The ID of the first segment of a transferred contact
NextContactId, PreviousContactId Links between the segments of a contact
Channel VOICE, CHAT, EMAIL, or TASK
InitiationMethod How the contact started, such as INBOUND, OUTBOUND, TRANSFER, or DISCONNECT
InitiationTimestamp When the contact started
ConnectedToSystemTimestamp When the contact connected to Amazon Connect
DisconnectTimestamp When the contact ended
DisconnectReason Why the contact ended
LastUpdateTimestamp When the CTR was last updated
ScheduledTimestamp When a scheduled contact was set to start
TransferCompletedTimestamp When a transfer finished
Transferred Whether the contact was transferred out
AWSAccountId The AWS account the contact came from
InstanceARN The Amazon Connect instance the contact belongs to
AWSContactTraceRecordFormatVersion The record’s format version
AgentConnectionAttempts How many times Amazon Connect tried to reach a team member
MediaStreams The media types used, such as AUDIO
Attributes Custom attributes set on the contact. Assembled only keeps them if your integration is set up to use them, for example to route contacts into queues. To turn this on, contact our team.

Team member details:

Field What it is
Agent.ARN The team member’s unique ID
Agent.Username The team member’s login username
Agent.RoutingProfile The name and ARN of the team member’s routing profile
Agent.ConnectedToAgentTimestamp When the contact connected to the team member
Agent.AgentInteractionDuration Seconds the team member spent handling the contact
Agent.AgentPauseDuration Seconds the contact was paused
Agent.AfterContactWorkDuration Seconds spent in after-contact work (ACW)
Agent.AfterContactWorkStartTimestamp When ACW started
Agent.AfterContactWorkEndTimestamp When ACW ended
Agent.CustomerHoldDuration Total seconds the customer was on hold
Agent.LongestHoldDuration The longest single hold, in seconds
Agent.NumberOfHolds How many times the customer was put on hold

Queue details:

Field What it is
Queue.ARN The queue’s unique ID
Queue.Name The queue’s name
Queue.EnqueueTimestamp When the contact entered the queue
Queue.DequeueTimestamp When the contact left the queue
Queue.Duration Seconds the contact spent in the queue

Agent events

Amazon Connect publishes an agent event each time a team member’s state changes. Assembled reads these fields:

Field What it is
EventId The event’s unique ID
EventType The kind of event, such as STATE_CHANGE
EventTimestamp When the event happened
AgentARN The team member’s unique ID
AWSAccountId The AWS account the event came from
InstanceARN The Amazon Connect instance the event belongs to
Version The event’s format version
CurrentAgentSnapshot, PreviousAgentSnapshot The team member’s status, routing profile, first name, last name, and username, and the contacts they’re on, after and before the change

Amazon Connect users

To match team members to their Amazon Connect users, Assembled lists your Amazon Connect users and reads each user’s ARN, username, email, secondary email, first name, last name, and security profile. It matches on email first, then secondary email, then username.

Keep personal data out of Assembled

You can have Assembled clear the fields below before it stores or processes your data. Everything else, including contact IDs, timestamps, durations, queue names, and routing profiles, is kept. To turn this on for your company, contact our team.

Field Where it comes from What Assembled keeps
Agent.Username CTR An empty value
DisconnectReason CTR An empty value
Configuration.FirstName Agent events, in both the current and previous snapshot An empty value
Configuration.LastName Agent events, in both the current and previous snapshot An empty value
Configuration.Username Agent events, in both the current and previous snapshot An empty value
