Contact (Amazon Connect)

The contact object captures identifiers, direction, queue, and key event timestamps for a single Amazon Connect Contact. The Agent Collector emits it with every contact record; the Cloud Collector merges in Contact Trace Record (CTR)-derived fields when you enable CTR collection.
