The application returns an exit condition. Your flow must have a branch for each one, including failure.
The Agentic CX block passes context variables in and routes on the exit condition that comes back. Live Sync, the new name for Voice+, can guide a customer inside a web or mobile app. It is 0.01 USD per minute on top of the channel rate, generally available 2 September 2026, and not billed during the trial through 30 November 2026.
External Tool calls a tool behind an Amazon Bedrock AgentCore gateway. That is a different block, with a different permission story.
- Map every exit to a queue, a message, or a failure prompt.
- Pass only the attributes the bot needs.
- Keep a DTMF path to a person.
- Load-test the tool. The flow timeout still exists.
Number on this page: Live Sync $0.01. Per minute, trial through 30 Nov 2026

Sister technologies
The names changed in 2023 and again in 2026. The IAM prefix and the block you configure did not move in lockstep.
Config and troubleshooting
A single exit arrow labeled 'done' and no error port.
Agent assist still uses the wisdom IAM prefix. The instance attribute ContactLens is the switch this campus can show in a template. The assistant domain is associated after the instance exists.

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.
