This setup process accesses your Amazon Connect instance to build out your contact center automatically. To do that, the setup process requires that you provide the IAM role ARN. Before you create the contact center, verify that you created an IAM role in Amazon Connect as described in [Configure AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Role for Voice](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.voice_ac_iam_role.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "When using Salesforce Voice with Partner Telephony from Amazon Connect, you must create a role with the correct policy information. Then, when you set up a contact center in Salesforce using a new or existing Amazon Connect instance, use this IAM role ARN in Amazon Connect. Salesforce then accesses your Amazon Connect instance to build out your contact center automatically."). ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-service-support_channels-264-0-0-production-enus/f3c4b3d2-ff86-4f7c-9fe2-3d8b23d35109/images/icon_note.png) Note For customers who set up Salesforce Voice with Partner Telephony from Amazon Connect _before_ Spring ’22, see [Get Started with Salesforce Voice with Partner Telephony from Amazon Connect](https://resources.docs.salesforce.com/latest/latest/en-us/sfdc/pdf/support_voice_pt_amazon_connect.pdf). 1. From Setup, enter Partner Telephony in the Quick Find box, then select **Partner Telephony Contact Centers**. 2. Click **Create Contact Center**. 3. Select **Amazon Connect** as the telephony provider. 4. Select **(Recommended) Create an Amazon Connect Instance**. ![Set up Voice with a new Amazon Connect instance.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-service-support_channels-264-0-0-production-enus/f3c4b3d2-ff86-4f7c-9fe2-3d8b23d35109/support_channels/images/voice/voice_cc_create.png) 5. Enter the contact center and AWS details. 1. Enter a display name for your contact center. 2. Enter an internal name for your contact center. The internal name is how other objects recognize your call center, similar to an API name. The internal name must be unique to your org, contain fewer than 20 characters, start with a letter, and contain only alphanumeric characters. 3. Select the AWS region that’s closest to where your contact center is located. The list is populated with the AWS regions that support Amazon Connect. If you operate in the public sector domain in the US, when you create a contact center, the list is populated with the AWS GovCloud regions for compliance. The supported AWS GovCloud regions are specified in [Amazon Documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/govcloud-us/latest/UserGuide/govcloud-con.html). 4. Enter the ARN of the IAM role that you created earlier. Salesforce uses this IAM role to access your Amazon Connect instance to automatically build out your contact center. Optionally, you can also enable an [external ID](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.voice_external_id.htm&type=5&language=en_US) for the AWS account associated with the IAM role ARN. Enabling an external ID helps avoid authorization issues with the provisioning role you created.![Enable external ID](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-service-support_channels-264-0-0-production-enus/f3c4b3d2-ff86-4f7c-9fe2-3d8b23d35109/support_channels/images/voice/voice_ext_id_enable.png) You can enable external ID only if you have not created any other contact centers in this org with the AWS account associated with the selected IAM role ARN. 5. If AWS permissions boundaries are enforced for the IAM role, enter the AWS permissions boundary Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the role. If set, the permissions boundary policy is attached to each IAM role that’s created during contact center provisioning. 6. Click **Next**. If you enable the external ID option for the IAM role ARN in the previous step, you must generate the External ID for the AWS account associated with the IAM role ARN. Then, add the generated external ID in the Trusted Relationships in your AWS account. In your AWS account, the external ID must be added in the `provisioningrole` json file corresponding to the IAM role ARN.![generate external id](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-service-support_channels-264-0-0-production-enus/f3c4b3d2-ff86-4f7c-9fe2-3d8b23d35109/support_channels/images/voice/voice_cc_gen_ext_id.png) 7. Optionally, select users that you want to add to your Amazon Connect instance. The list is populated with users who already have the Salesforce Voice Contact Center Admin permission set. 8. Click **Done**. It can take a few minutes to create the contact center. 9. To manage the contact center after it’s created, under Setup, enter Partner Telephony Contact Centers in the Quick Find box, and select **Partner Telephony Contact Centers**. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-service-support_channels-264-0-0-production-enus/f3c4b3d2-ff86-4f7c-9fe2-3d8b23d35109/images/icon_note.png) Note If the contact center fails to be created, Salesforce sends you an email to help you resolve the issue. For example, the message states that there was an error executing the Cloudformation template. Or, the message can contain details, such as a missing permission on the AWS side. If the contact center fails to be created, Salesforce sends you an email to help you resolve the issue. The email contains details about why the failure occurred. For example, the contact center fails to be created if Amazon doesn’t have the required resources. ## Next Steps for Salesforce Voice Setup Now that you’ve created your contact center, it’s time to configure it. For example, add service reps to the contact center, set up your phone channel, and set up reps’ and supervisors’ workspaces. #### See Also - [Configure Your Contact Center](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.voice_contact_center_configure.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To enable service reps to talk to customers on the phone, set up a phone channel and add the reps to the contact center.
