Voicemail for Amazon Connect

As of January 1st, 2024 this version of the Voicemail for Amazon Connect solution has been archived and is not currently supported. Amazon Connect customers that require a voicemail solution should use Voicemail Express

This solutions deploys the resources necessary to configure a voicemail system to use with Amazon Connect. See Solution Architecture.

Starting in April 2023 Amazon S3 made a change to set the Bucket Owner Enforced Setting to be enabled for any newly completed buckets which disables ACLs. Since this solution uses Default ACLs, this new default will prevent the CloudFormation stack from deploying. More Information....

The master and development branches have been updated to account for the recent S3 changes. Updated CloudFormation Templates and deployment instructions can be found here

Development Branch

We have added a new branch to this solution: the "development" branch. The "development" branch contains the same solution, but has a simplified build system that removes complexities introduced by the AWS Solution. If you would like to pull down this code to modify it for your own testing, you should use the "development" branch. The "development" branch is where we will accept PRs and continue to build out the Voicemail solution with more functionality based on feedback from users. We will update the "master" branch with changes from the "development" branch twice a year.

Running unit tests for customization

• Clone the repository, then make the desired code changes
• Install jest

npm install -g jest

• Next, run unit tests to make sure added customization passes the tests

cd ./source/aws-connect-vm-serverless
npm run test

Building distributable for customization

• Configure the bucket name of your target Amazon S3 distribution bucket

export DIST_OUTPUT_BUCKET=my-bucket-name # bucket where customized code will reside
export SOLUTION_NAME=my-solution-name
export VERSION=my-version # version number for the customized code

Note: You would have to create an S3 bucket with the name 'my-bucket-name-<aws_region>'; aws_region is where you are testing the customized solution. Also, the assets in bucket should be accessible from the accounts you will run the CloudFormation stack.

• The build script requires Maven and npm; please ensure you have both of these installed in your environment.
• Now build the distributable:

cd ./deployment
chmod +x ./build-s3-dist.sh
./build-s3-dist.sh $DIST_OUTPUT_BUCKET $SOLUTION_NAME $VERSION

• Deploy the distributable to an Amazon S3 bucket in your account. Note: you must have the AWS Command Line Interface installed.

aws s3 cp ./regional-s3-assets  s3://$DIST_OUTPUT_BUCKET-<aws_region>/$SOLUTION_NAME/$VERSION/ --recursive --acl bucket-owner-full-control --profile <aws-cred-profile-name>
aws s3 cp ./global-s3-assets  s3://$DIST_OUTPUT_BUCKET-<aws_region>/$SOLUTION_NAME/$VERSION/ --recursive --acl bucket-owner-full-control --profile <aws-cred-profile-name>

• Get the link of the solution template uploaded to your Amazon S3 bucket.
• Deploy the solution to your account by launching a new AWS CloudFormation stack using the link of the solution template in Amazon S3.
