Agents use the Contact Control Panel (CCP) to control their interactions, such as answering calls, dialing out, or setting their status. For agent voice communications, Amazon Connect includes a web-based softphone for incoming and outgoing telephony, or agents can use a traditional telephone service using the PSTN.
