When you turn on Salesforce Voice with Amazon Connect (formerly Service Cloud Voice with Amazon Connect), Salesforce creates an Amazon
Web Services (AWS) account that’s used to create your Amazon Connect instance.
In Salesforce, from Setup, enter Amazon Setup in the Quick Find box,
then select Amazon Setup.
Select Turn On Salesforce Voice.
Enter the root email address two times.
Salesforce uses this email address to create the root user in your Amazon Web Services
subaccount. The root email address must be unique and can’t be used with another AWS service.
Write down this email address because you need it later to configure your Amazon Connect
instance.
ImportantThe configuration and
security of the Amazon Web Services subaccount and the Amazon Connect instance is the
customer’s responsibility.
It can take a while for Voice to turn on. To see whether the process is completed, refresh the
Amazon Setup page. If an error occurs, contact Salesforce Customer Support. Trying to turn on
Voice again can cause Salesforce Voice to be in an inconsistent state.
After Voice is turned on, you receive two emails. When the Amazon Web Services
account is enabled, AWS sends an email to the root user email address to notify you.
Salesforce sends an email to notify the Salesforce admin that Voice is turned on.
If needed, you can reset your email address or password for the AWS root user.
Sign in to your AWS Management console using your root email address and new
password.
Create IAM users with admin privileges in the AWS account as a secure alternative
for logging into AWS, in case of MFA issues with the root credentials. For details, see
Create an IAM User in your AWS Account.
To
increase security on the root user account, enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on the
account.
