If you cannot point at the box that owns a function, you will build it twice.
The center is the contact. Around it: telephony, flows, routing, the CCP, profiles and cases, conversational analytics, WFM, recording, the CRM, E911, and agent assist. Lines are keys, not vibes: ContactId, profile id, agent event, civic address, S3 object.
Click a node in the lab. The panel says what you configure, what breaks, and which hook a future system should use.
Telephony is not the CRM.
WFM is not the real-time board.
E911 is not the customer's caller ID.
Agent assist is not the system of record.
Number on this page: Center Contact. Everything else references it

Start media streaming Sends live customer audio to Kinesis Video Streams for a third-party recorder or bot.
Screen recording Records the agent desktop. On the Basic price list it is 0.006 USD per minute.
Forecasting and agent scheduling The 4 Aug 2026 name for native WFM: forecast, capacity, schedules, and adherence.
Schedule adherence How closely an agent's actual status matched the published schedule. Native metrics appear after schedules are published. Third-party WFM reads agent events.
Connect answers the contact. Workforce, quality, emergency location, and the system of record sit beside it, and they only stay honest if they share ContactId.
Config and troubleshooting
A diagram that is only logos.
Adherence needs agent events, not a person refreshing a report. ResourceType AGENT_EVENTS and StorageType KINESIS_STREAM is the hook. A second consumer should read the stream, not a second delivery on the instance.
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.
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.
