Amazon Connect launches Contact Data Updated event

Amazon Connect now allows you to subscribe to the Contact Data Updated event via [Contact Event Stream (CES](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/adminguide/contact-events.html)). Business currently subscribes to Contact Event Stream for a near real-time stream of contact (voice calls, chat, and task) events (for example, call is queued) in their Amazon Connect contact center. With this launch, Amazon Connect will start publishing a new event-type called CONTACT\_DATA\_UPDATED with UpdatedProperties field to the Contact Event Stream. Businesses will now listen to contact-data-updated events in scenarios such as 1) change in Scheduled\_Timestamp (tasks) and 2/ updates to User-Defined-Attributes, on the contact record. Additionally, hierarchy groups information in the agentInfo object will be included for CONTACT\_DATA\_UPDATED, CONNECTED\_TO\_AGENT, DISCONNECTED event types. To learn more about these features, [refer to our public documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/adminguide/contact-events.html). These new features are available in all [AWS regions](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) where Amazon Connect is available.
