## Create an Amazon Connect Contact Flow with Voice ID

To ask callers if they would like to use voice authentication, create a contact flow. Create a contact flow for all call types for which you want to use Voice ID. You can use Voice ID with inbound, outbound, and transfer calls.

To help you design a contact flow with Voice ID, check out sample contact flow [Sample SCV Inbound Flow with Voice ID](https://github.com/service-cloud-voice/examples-from-doc/tree/main/ContactFlows). This contact flow contains the required Voice ID blocks.

After setting up your contact flow, when the caller calls, they’re prompted to specify whether they'd like to enroll in Voice ID. If they agree, the rep can enroll them.
