We were founded in 2005 in a tiny apartment in Bucharest, Romania as DeskOver.

Fittingly, it was a customer who, in 2012, first saw the immense possibilities for us in the fledgling RPA market. Our desktop automation product launched in 2013. In 2015, we introduced our enterprise platform along with our new name.

Today, UiPath is the fastest-growing enterprise software company in history with scores of offices, thousands of employees, partnerships with the world’s best consulting and BPO firms, a **500,000-strong developer community**, and **5MM+ robots at work** in over **5,000 global enterprises.**

Our mission is to deliver the leading Robotic Process Automation platform to our clients for an automation first mindset.

We build software robots that automate repetitive processes. Our software robots take on the tedious, mind-numbing work and free people to do the more stimulating, creative work worth doing.

But no matter how much we’ve grown, one thing hasn’t changed. We’re still building a company we love to work for

Amazon Connect Introduction
---------------------------

Amazon Connect boasts a unified user interface encompassing both voice and chat functionalities for contact routing, queuing, analytics, and management. Amazon Connect activities empower users to initiate outbound phone calls, fostering seamless automation between UiPath and Amazon Connect.

Amazon Connect Activities for UiPath
------------------------------------

These activities establish an authenticated connection to your AWS resources via the [Amazon Connect Scope](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/amazon-connect-scoped-activity) activity.

### Establishing an Authenticated Connection

To establish an authenticated connection, the Amazon Connect activities need authorization from the [AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/introduction.html) service.

### Setting Up AWS IAM Authorization

To enable AWS IAM authorization, you create or use an existing [IAM user](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users.html) and generate [access keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html) (Access Key Id and Secret Access Key).

  

When creating your IAM user, you assign the [policies and permissions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html) that specify the resources your Robot can access (e.g., AmazonConnectFullAccess).

### Integration of Amazon Connect Activities

After creating your IAM user and assigning your policies, you enter the Access Key Id and Secret Access Key in the **Amazon Connect Scope** activity. When you run your automation project, the keys are used to sign the API requests being made by each of the activities.

  

Once the connection is established, you can effortlessly integrate Amazon Connect activities into new automation projects or seamlessly integrate them into existing ones.

### Preparing for Project Development

Before you build your first project, complete the steps in the [Setup guide](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/amazon-connect-setup).

  

Upon the successful completion of the setup steps, please refer to the [Quickstarts](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/amazon-connect-quickstarts) guide. These guides provide step-by-step instructions to facilitate the creation of functional samples for various activities. This will enable you to validate the connection with your registered app and gain familiarity with input/output properties.

Activities in the Amazon Connect Activities Package
---------------------------------------------------

The following activities are included in the Amazon Connect Activities Package:

### [Amazon Connect Scope](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/amazon-connect-scoped-activity)

### [Make voice call](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/amazon-connect-make-voice-call)

This activity facilitates outgoing voice calls, directing them to an Amazon Connect contact flow.
