Enable notifications for chat customers in Amazon Connect
You can enable message Delivered and Read in your chat user interface so your customers know the status of the messages they send. This provides transparency to customers, and improves the overall chat experience.
Regardless of whether message receipts are enabled, the message receipt data and events are always sent and can be seen in the network log. Enabling and disabling message receipts in your chat user interface only affects whether the receipts appear in the communication widget transcript.
Tip
By default message receipts are already enabled in the Test chat experience, the Contact Control Panel (CCP), and downloadable open source example of the chat widget.
To enable message receipts in your chat user interface
-
Log in to the Amazon Connect admin website at https://

By default Message receipts is not enabled. Set to Enabled.
Message receipts are now enabled. Customers who are using the communications widget will start seeing Delivered and Read receipts immediately.
