Amazon Connect Agent Workspace links do not work

0

Hello,

I'm using Amazon Connect. For some callers, I have files associated with them, and these links are present in their Customer Profile.

When an agent receives a call, the profile of the caller shows up in the Agent Workspace UI. The agent then clicks on a link to a file to view its contents, but the browser fails to render anything. Firefox and Safari don't render anything, while Chrome shows an error page with the message: "This page has been blocked by Chrome: ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT."

However, if you right-click on the link and select "Open Link in New Tab", everything works fine.

How can I make the links work without needing to right-click?

We didn't have an issue with having a URL in a customer profile. Can you share what you're setting?

The issue you're experiencing with links in the Amazon Connect Agent Workspace not working directly is likely related to how the Agent Workspace handles iframes and content security policies. To resolve this problem, you'll need to make some adjustments to how your application or content is configured.

Here are some steps you can take to address this issue:

  1. Content Security Policy: Ensure that the application or website hosting your linked files has the correct Content Security Policy header set. The recommended policy should include:

    Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors https://.awsapps.com https://.my.connect.aws;

    This allows your content to be embedded within the Amazon Connect domain.

  2. URL Compatibility: Verify that the URLs you're using for your files can be iframed. Not all URLs can be embedded in iframes, which could explain why opening in a new tab works but not within the Agent Workspace.

  3. Application Configuration: If you're using a third-party application to serve these files, make sure it's properly configured in your Amazon Connect instance. You may need to add the domain of your file hosting service to the approved origins list in the application configuration.

  4. Browser Settings: The error message in Chrome suggests that there might be a browser extension or setting blocking the content. Ensure that there are no browser extensions interfering with the content loading.

  5. File Hosting: Consider hosting your files on a service that is compatible with being embedded in iframes and meets the security requirements of Amazon Connect.

If you've implemented these changes and are still experiencing issues, you may need to contact AWS Support or the developer of your file hosting solution for further assistance. They can help ensure that your setup is compatible with the Amazon Connect Agent Workspace's security and embedding requirements.

Remember, these changes are necessary to maintain the security and integrity of the Agent Workspace while allowing your agents to access the required information efficiently.

  • I tried adding links from all over the web just to test. All are broken.

    All links within Agent Workspace have target="_blank" so the should be opening in a new tab by default, and that happens, but "This page has been blocked by Chrome: ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT." error is displayed when I open a link this way.

    I tried disabling all extensions and using incognito mode, same error.

    Either way, I don't want them to be opened within iframe, to be embedded. I just want to open them in a new tab.
