Amazon Connect launches automated email responses using conditional keywords and phrases

Amazon Connect now allows you to automate email responses and agent routing logic using keyword and phrase conditions, helping organizations increase self-service, reduce manual handling time, and improve routing accuracy. For example, if a customer sends an email asking if a certain product is in stock, or is checking on their shipment status, an automated response can be sent without involving an agent. To enable this feature, add the [Get stored content](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/adminguide/get-stored-content.html) block to your flows and use accompanying flow blocks such as [Check contact attributes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/adminguide/check-contact-attributes.html) and [Send message](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/adminguide/send-message.html) to configure automated email responses and routing. Amazon Connect email is available in the US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), and Europe (London) [regions](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/).
