AWS – Amazon Connect now supports parallel AWS Lambda execution in flows

Amazon Connect now supports parallel execution of AWS Lambda functions in flows, enabling faster and more seamless customer experiences. Amazon Connect allows you to integrate with third-party or homegrown systems such as CRMs using Lambda to automate tasks like reading or updating customer records. With this launch, you can now execute multiple Lambda functions concurrently or continue progressing the flow and run additional actions while a Lambda runs. For example, in an automated customer interaction, you can now look up a customer’s past purchases while simultaneously checking for active promotions and playing a message about a new offer. These capabilities can be configured directly in the drag-and-drop flow designer using the “Lambda” and “Wait” flow blocks, or through public APIs.
