AWS connect documentation change

Service: connect · 2026-04-22 · Documentation low

File: connect/latest/adminguide/connect-attrib-list.md

Summary

Added three new contact attributes: connect:ConnectionType, connect:CrossInstanceInfo.RelatedContactArn, and connect:CrossInstanceInfo.RelatedInitialContactArn for tracking transfer types and related contact ARNs in cross-instance transfers.

Security assessment

This change documents new attributes for tracking contact transfer information within Amazon Connect. While these attributes could be used for audit logging and monitoring, there is no evidence in the diff that this change addresses a specific security vulnerability, weakness, or incident. It appears to be a routine feature enhancement for better visibility into contact transfers.
