This "Invalid outbound configuration" error occurs when you try to make an outbound call in Amazon Connect but the necessary configuration is missing. To resolve this issue, you need to:

  1. Ensure your Amazon Connect instance is enabled for outbound calling at the instance level.

  2. Associate a phone number with your outbound queue by:

  • Logging into the Amazon Connect admin website (https://yourinstancename.my.connect.aws/)
  • Navigate to "Routing" and then "Queues"
  • Select the queue you're using for outbound calls
  • In the "Settings" section, under "Outbound caller configuration," select a valid phone number from the "Outbound caller ID number" dropdown
  • Save your changes
  1. Verify that your user account has the necessary permission "Contact Control Panel (CCP) - Make outbound calls" in your security profile.

  2. Check that your routing profile has a default outbound queue configured, and that this queue has an outbound caller ID number assigned to it.

Note that if you're trying to use a toll-free number as your outbound caller ID, it might cause issues as telecom regulators might flag it as spam. It's better to use a Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number that you've configured in your Amazon Connect instance.

Correct, the short of it is that the routing profile you user has needs to have an outbound queue associated with it and that queue needs to have a phone number associated to it.
