New setups can avoid sharing long-lived AWS keys. Recording which queue received a chat remains a separate, optional step.

What changes for users

Support teams should treat authentication and handoff visibility as separate acceptance checks. After configuring queue forwarding, send a test chat through a handoff and verify the queue ID and entry timestamp in Ada’s conversation variables before relying on those fields in reports.

Editorial assessmentChecked: [guide]

Two separate paths connect an Ada chat handoff: a role-access gate above and an optional queue-event route to conversation metadata below.

Ada’s October 7 update lets its Amazon Connect handoff assume an IAM role secured with an External ID. Ada recommends this path for new setups; existing IAM-user integrations continue to work.

Vendor-reportedChecked: [release]

The setup guide still requires an SNS topic for chat messages and Ada’s team to finish backend configuration. Queue metadata needs an additional EventBridge rule that forwards CHAT events of type QUEUED to that topic. Without it, handoffs work but queue fields stay empty.

How this was checked

AI-assisted checking compared the full release note and setup guide from Ada. No integration was tested and no human review occurred. Browser access failed, so source screenshots were unavailable.

Editorial assessmentChecked: [release][guide]

The release does not announce mandatory migration for existing customers. The guide separates authentication from optional queue-event forwarding; enabling role access alone does not establish queue reporting.

Without it, the handoff works normally and the queue fields are left empty.
