Flow block: Check Voice ID

Description

Note

The Set Voice ID block needs to be set in the flow before this one. That block sends audio to Amazon Connect Voice ID to verify the customer's identity, and returns a status.

The Check Voice ID block branches based on the results of the voice analysis and the status returned by Voice ID:

• Enrollment status:

  • Enrolled: The caller is enrolled in voice authentication.

  • Not enrolled: The caller has not yet been enrolled in voice authentication. When this status is returned, for example, you may want to directly route the call to an agent for enrollment.

  • Opted out: The caller has opted out of voice authentication.

  You are not charged for checking enrollment status.

• Voice authentication status:

  • Authenticated: The caller's identity has been verified. That is, the authentication score is greater than or equal to the threshold (default threshold of 90 or your custom threshold).

  • Not authenticated: The authentication score is lower than threshold that you configured.

  • Inconclusive: Unable to analyze a caller's speech for authentication. This is usually because Voice ID did not get the required 10 seconds to provide a result for authentication.

  • Not enrolled: The caller has not yet been enrolled in voice authentication. When this status is returned, for example, you may want to directly route the call to an agent for enrollment.

  • Opted out: The caller has opted out of voice authentication.

  You are not charged if the result is Inconclusive, Not enrolled or Opted out.

• Fraud detection status:

  • High risk: The risk score meets or exceeds the set threshold.

  • Low risk: The risk score did not meet the set threshold.

  • Inconclusive: Unable to analyze a caller's voice for detection of fraudsters in a watchlist.

  You are not charged if the result is Inconclusive.

Note

For Enrollment status and Voice authentication, the Customer ID system attribute needs to be set in Set contact attributes block because they are acting on a specific customer. You don't need to do this for Fraud detection because it's not acting on a specific customer but rather detecting whether the incoming caller matches a fraudster on your watch list. This means it's possible for a customer to be successfully authenticated and still have high fraud risk.

The following table lists how this block routes a contact who is using the specified channel.

Properties

The following image shows the Properties page for the Check voice ID block when it's configured to check for Enrollment status. Different status results are returned when it's configured for Voice authentication or Fraud detection.
