CUIC and the Connect report are different clocks — Ecosystem
Glossary
- Calling search space CUCM's list of partitions a phone may dial. The Connect cousin is a routing profile, and they do not configure each other.
- CSQ A UCCX contact service queue. Map it to a Connect queue, not to a routing profile.
- Precision queue A UCCE queue with attribute steps. Map the steps to routing criteria, not to one flat skill group.
- Finesse The Cisco agent desktop. The Connect cousins are the CCP, the agent workspace, and a Streams application.
Mind map
Sister technologies
Migrations fail when a skill group, a script, and a Finesse gadget are all called 'the queue'.
Config and troubleshooting
A red dashboard in week one that is only a formula change.
CUCM, UCCX, and UCCE have no CloudFormation resource in this API. The objects you create on the Connect side are the queue, the routing profile, and the hours. Map the old skill group onto those, not onto a single queue name.
CloudFormation study snippet
Resources:
MigratedQueue:
Type: AWS::Connect::Queue
Properties:
InstanceArn: !GetAtt CampusInstance.Arn
Name: BillingSkill
HoursOfOperationArn: !GetAtt OfficeHours.HoursOfOperationArn
Description: Was a UCCE skill group. Priority now lives on the routing profile.
Integration map
Join records on ContactId. The integration map room lists the seams.
Cross-platform bridges
A CUCM calling search space is not a routing profile, but the profile is the closest idea of 'who can receive what'. A partition is not a Connect object. A UCCX CSQ and a UCCE skill group map to a queue. Precision steps map to routing criteria. A script, an Architect flow, and an Avaya vector map to a contact flow.
Future hooks
Hooks you can adopt later: EventBridge contact events, the CTR stream, agent events, Kinesis Video, Customer Profiles events, Cases, Show view, data tables, External Tool, and the flow language JSON in your pipeline. Live Sync and Agentic CX are the 2026 hooks for guided and agentic experiences.
