This update enables flows to pause until specific case fields meet conditions or external tool invocations complete, facilitating more context-aware routing and reducing unnecessary customer transfers.

Examples include waiting for refund status updates before progressing calls. The feature is documented across multiple AWS regions. Independent validation of its effect on customer experience metrics remains to be published.
