<p>Amazon Connect Customer now supports Cases and External Tool events in the Wait block, giving you more control over how your customer experience flows react to real-time data changes. In addition to waiting for a Lambda function to complete, you can now wait until a Connect Case field meets a specified condition or an External Tool invocation completes. This enables you to wait for critical information before advancing an interaction, reducing unnecessary transfers and saving time for both your end-customers and agents. For example, you can hold a flow until a refund status field is updated on a case, then automatically resume and route the interaction based on the outcome. </p> <p>To learn more about this feature, refer to the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/adminguide/wait.html">administrator guide </a>and availability of <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/adminguide/regions.html#cases_region">Connect Customer features by Region</a>.
