To change the outbound call number based on a contact attribute in Amazon Connect, you can use the dynamic outbound caller ID feature. Here's how you can set this up:

  1. Create an outbound whisper contact flow:

    • Navigate to the contact flow page in your Amazon Connect instance.
    • Create a new outbound whisper flow or modify an existing one.
  2. Use the "Call phone number" block:

    • In your outbound whisper flow, add a "Call phone number" block.
    • This block allows you to specify a custom caller ID number.
  3. Set up dynamic caller ID:

    • You can use an attribute to dynamically set the caller ID number.
    • The attribute can be defined in a "Set contact attributes" block or returned from an AWS Lambda function.
  4. Use Lambda for complex logic (optional):

    • If you need to look up customer data or apply complex logic, you can use an "Invoke AWS Lambda function" block.
    • The Lambda function can set an attribute based on customer data, such as location or account type.
  5. Configure the "Call phone number" block:

    • In the "Call phone number" block, use the attribute set by your flow or Lambda function to determine the caller ID.
    • Ensure the attribute value is a phone number from your instance in E.164 format.
  6. Important considerations:

    • The phone number must be claimed or ported to your Amazon Connect instance.
    • If the number is not in E.164 format, the system will fall back to the queue's default outbound caller ID.
    • Ensure your agents have the necessary permissions to make outbound calls in their security profile.
