Names from the old platform are not Connect resources. Write the map before you build the queues.
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.
Finesse maps to the CCP or a Streams desktop. CUIC maps to real-time metrics, historical metrics, and the CTR. A recording trunk maps to the recording block and S3.
- Write one row per old object, with the Connect object and the pitfall.
- Skills can become proficiencies or extra queues. Pick one and say why.
- Hunt pilots become queues plus priority and delay.
- The lab translator does this row by row.

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.

Sister technologies
Migrations fail when a skill group, a script, and a Finesse gadget are all called 'the queue'.
Config and troubleshooting
Creating a queue named after every CUCM partition.
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.

Description: Was a UCCE skill group. Priority now lives on the routing profile.

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.
