Role Updater Assistant

Some NEONNOW releases require extra permissions to keep your contact centre running smoothly. The Role Updater Assistant helps you stay up to date by giving you a quick way to re-create your service role or update it with the latest permissions.

You can:

    •    Re-create your role using a pre-filled CloudFormation template.

    •    Update your existing role by copying the latest policy and jumping straight to your role in the AWS Console.

You’ll find the assistant under Admin > Contact Centre Summary. Just click the key icon in the top right to get started.

Enhanced Emergency Calling (U.S. Regions Only)

NEONNOW now supports Enhanced Emergency Calling for U.S.-based contact centres, helping ensure your agents can place outbound emergency (911) calls with accurate location metadata. This supports compliance with E911 regulations and improves emergency response outcomes.

Admin

Admins can now enable the Enhanced Emergency Calling feature via the Admin UI, under Admin > Contact Centre > Settings > Users

    •    You’ll need to configure your Amazon Connect contact flows to support outbound 911 dialling and address metadata retrieval.

    •    The feature integrates with the existing NEONNOW Contact Flow Service.

    •    No real-time location tracking is used—addresses must be entered and managed by agents.

📌 Important: This feature only applies to NEONNOW tenants hosted in U.S. regions.

Agent (NEONNOW App)

When Enhanced Emergency Calling is enabled:

    •    Agents will be prompted to enter and validate their address the first time they log in.

    •    If no address is stored, they’ll be prompted again at subsequent logins.

    •    Agents can update their address at any time in their preferences.

    •    If an address is on file, it is automatically sent as metadata during 911 calls to assist emergency responders.

    •    Agents can still make a 911 call even if no address is stored—calls will not be blocked.

🏠 Address fields include house number, street, unit/suite, city, state, and ZIP code (U.S. format only). Data is securely stored and never shared outside emergency call handling.

The 3.24 release introduces a new enhanced sign-in/sign-out flow, the Voice Analysis feature, and various fixes and improvements for email in NEONNOW.

1 NEONNOW

1.1 Sign In, Sign Out and Forget Device

As part of our commitment to security, we’re enhancing the sign-in process for contact centres that don’t use single sign-on (SSO) by adding multi-factor authentication. To keep this experience as efficient as possible, we’re introducing features like remembering trusted devices to reduce the need for frequent verification.

1.1.1 Sign In

You’ll now need to click Sign In on the start page to begin the sign-in process. This will open the Amazon Connect sign-in popup (or your Single Sign-On provider, if configured by your Administrator). The sign-in popup will no longer open automatically.

The new sign in page for non-SSO (desktop)

The new sign in page for signing in with a provider (SSO) (softphone)

1.1.2 MFA Verification

We're introducing MFA to the NEONNOW sign in journey for non-SSO (single sign on) contact centres. If you currently sign in with an external provider, such as Microsoft Entra ID, you will not have to verify with MFA.

⚠️ Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) will not be enabled immediately when this release launches. Check with your Account Manager or Implementation Partner for details on when it will be activated for your organisation.

When MFA is enabled for your contact centre:

After signing in to Amazon Connect or your Single Sign-On provider, you’ll need to enter a verification code from your email or device to complete signing in to NEONNOW. The verification method will depend on your Administrator’s configuration, and you can switch between methods if multiple options are available.

🔹 You won’t need to enter a verification code every time you sign in. You’ll stay verified unless you manually forget your device (see below), remain offline for more than 30 days, or regularly move workstation (i.e. 'hot desk').

MFA verification (desktop)

MFA verification (softphone)

1.1.3 Sign Out

Signing out now sets your status to Offline and signs you out of Amazon Connect. However, you’ll no longer be fully signed out of NEONNOW—your current device will be remembered for next time, so you won’t need to verify (MFA) again unless required.

1.1.4 Forget Your Device

After signing out, you can choose to “forget your device,” which will remove all saved session data. The next time you sign in, you’ll be required to verify your identity again.

The forgotten your device page (softphone)

1.2 Voice Analysis

Administrators can now enable Voice Analysis, giving you access to transcripts and AI-generated summaries for voice tasks and conferences.

• View a full transcript of a voice task or conference, making it easier to review key details from the conversation. You can view the transcript by clicking the transcript view button in the task control footer.
• Generate an AI summary in your After Call Work (ACW) interaction notes, helping you capture key points without manual note-taking.

This feature helps streamline post-call documentation and reduce the effort needed to summarise interactions. Check with your Administrator to see if it’s enabled for your organisation.

The updated ACW task UI with voice analysis (desktop)

1.2.1 Chat Analysis

We've renamed Generative AI for Chat to Chat Analysis and updated the UI and experience to align with the new Voice Analysis feature. These updates include:

• An improved AI-generated summary UI, now with the option to accept or reject a suggested summary after generating.
• The transcript view button has been moved to the task control footer at the bottom of the task for easier access.

1.3 Email Improvements

1.3.1 Desktop Email Editor

• For Workspace users, the email editor will now respect your workspace layout and no longer automatically switch to a two-column view.
• When the email editor is resized to a smaller view (e.g., when adjusting the column width), the UI will adjust accordingly for better usability.

1.3.2 Attachments & Inline Images

• Forwarded emails will now include their original attachments.
• Inline images are now displayed when previewing emails.
• The Attachments button has been renamed to Files.
  • The file dropdown is now split into two sections:
    • Inline images (for downloading full-size inline images).
    • Attachments (for other attached files).
• Inline images are now included when replying or forwarding emails (in most cases).

1.3.3 Email Composition & Sending

• Replies and forwards now have a horizontal line separating the original email from your new content.
• You can no longer send an email while attachments are still uploading.
• If there's an issue with an uploaded file, the error message will now appear in a notification instead of a modal window.

1.3.4 Softphone

• When you upload files in an email, the attachments drawer will now open automatically to show upload progress.

1.3.5 Other Improvements

• Clicking a To recipient in an email will now show a message confirming it has been successfully copied to the clipboard.

1.3.6 Fixes

• Some image controls are no longer cut off when composing emails.
• Numbered and bullet-pointed lists are now fully visible when previewing emails.
• Replies and forwards now display correctly (previously cut-off content has been fixed).
• You’ll no longer be able to send emails over 30 MB (which may have previously bounced). If your email exceeds 30 MB, you’ll see an error message with a breakdown of its contents.
• Signatures over 350 KB will now display a message instead of a generic error.
• Fixed an issue where accepting incoming chats could sometimes load indefinitely until the page was refreshed.
• UI fixes for the recipients dropdown and missing separators in Softphone.

1.4 General

• (Desktop) Hovering over a column resizer now has a clearer hover state in the workspace.
• ACW has been enhanced with minor UI updates and clearer interaction times and durations.
• Secondary buttons (white) have been updated with a blue border and a revised hover UI.
• Errors and error logs are now always written to the downloadable log file, even when NEONNOW enhanced logs are turned off.

2 Admin

2.1 SCIM

We've added initial support for user management via SCIM (e.g. Microsoft Entra ID). Reach out to your account manager to enquire about getting set up.

2.2 Voice/Chat Analysis

We've launched our new Voice Analysis feature and redesigned the feature configuration in Admin.

• Generative AI for Chat is now Chat Analysis, which can be found underSettings > Agents > Interaction Outcomes > Interaction Analysis.

Updated feature configuration for generative AI

Note: if you have multiple contacts (tasks) open, all Connect modules (e.g. Amazon Q) will automatically switch context to that contact.

1.1.3 JAWS Support (Softphone)

1.1 NEONNOW

1.1.1 Softphone - Modal Windows

Softphone modals have undergone improvements to align more consistently with their desktop counterparts, providing enhanced clarity to indicate when the modal is open atop page content.

1.1.2 Softphone - Templated Responses

Prior to version 3.19, templated responses were presented in a popover menu, mirroring the desktop interface. This release transitions this display to a full-page modal, offering an improved user experience for more efficient searching and application of templates.

For Outbound SMS, templated responses will instead appear inside the Outbound SMS modal, with a back button to go back to the SMS that is being composed.

Our latest release, 3.19, has new NEONNOW features and improvements, such as the new Flexible Workspace and small changes to the agent task list to improve the use of space. 

We've also got a handful of Admin fixes and improvements, with minor changes to Operational Parameters and more granular control over call recording controls.

1.1 NEONNOW

1.1.1 Flexible Workspace

If your administrator has configured the flexible workspace and added Task Modules to your contact centre, you'll see tabs in the agent workspace (desktop) or a new drawer at the bottom of tasks (softphone). The contents of these modules is dependent on what's been set up by your administrator, with the screenshot below an example.

On Softphone, the flexible workspace drawer (see below) can be pinned or minimised. Pinning the drawer means it will be open by default when switching between tasks or on new inbound/outbound interactions.

We've improved the task list on desktop. We've made tasks smaller, reduced the spacing to fit more content and given task icons a background to make them visually clearer. Note. the functionality is exactly the same as before.

Task Previews (Softphone)

In 3.19, there are new task previews when hovering over tasks in the task list and more detail in the list of tasks in the overflow menu. This will make it easier to see information about tasks without needing to click and view it.

User Management

We've re-worked user management in admin settings on NEONNOW. Delete confirmations modals are now consistent with other NEONNOW modals and we've fixed some visual bugs.

1.2 Admin

1.2.1 Task Modules (Flexible Workspace)

We've extended task modules in Admin to now include Task Modules, which are used to display content to agents during interactions, directly in the workspace (see Flexible Workspace above for agent-side).

Task modules display a URL of your choice in an iframe. See the help docs for more information.

You can find modules under your contact centre > Customise > Customisation > Modules.

1.2.2 Call Recording Controls

Call recording controls have been extended in Admin to provide additional granularity when customising what your agents can do and see. You can now set the controls to be pause only/stop only or continue to allow all controls. You can override the feature settings in your Amazon Connect contact flows using a contact attribute.

See the help docs for more information.

1.2.3 Operational Parameters

We've made a few quality-of-life changes to operational parameters:

• You can now request up to 10 parameters, up from 5
• The response payload has changed, that you use in your Amazon Connect contact flows when retrieving operational parameters. Please see the operational parameter help docs guide for more information
