# Acknowledge performance evaluations in Amazon Connect
<a name="acknowledge-evaluations"></a>

When an agent performance evaluation is submitted, you can automatically notify the agent to review their evaluation. For example, you can set up a [rule to send an email](contact-lens-rules-email.md) to the agent when an evaluation is available. You can also walk an agent through their evaluation during coaching.

After the agent has reviewed the performance evaluation, they can acknowledge their review of the evaluation and write an optional note in the Amazon Connect admin website. This acknowledgement enables managers to track whether agents are reviewing the feedback provided on their performance evaluations.

This topic explains the steps for agents to view and acknowledge an evaluation.

**To acknowledge an evaluation**

1. After you have received a performance evaluation for a contact, use your agent account to log in to the Amazon Connect admin website at https://*instance name*.my.connect.aws/.

1. Access the contact evaluation that you want to acknowledge. There are a few ways you can do this:
   + Someone may have shared the contact URL with you.

   - OR - 
   + You may have been assigned a task or received an email notification containing the URL for the contact that received an evaluations.

   - OR - 
   + You may have the contact ID and evaluation form name. You can use this information to search for the contact that received the evaluations using the following steps.

     1. On the navigation pane, choose **Analytics and optimization**, **Contact search**.

     1. Search for the contact which was evaluated, but is not yet acknowledged. The following image shows the filters to search for **Acknowledged** = **No**.
