The identifier of the Amazon Connect instance. You can find the instanceId in the ARN of the instance.

--previous-contact-id (string)

The identifier of the previous chat, voice, or task contact.

--contact-flow-id (string)

--attributes (map)

A custom key-value pair using an attribute map. The attributes are standard Amazon Connect attributes, and can be accessed in contact flows just like any other contact attributes.

There can be up to 32,768 UTF-8 bytes across all key-value pairs per contact. Attribute keys can include only alphanumeric, dash, and underscore characters.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--name (string)

The name of a task that is shown to an agent in the Contact Control Panel (CCP).

--references (map)

A formatted URL that is shown to an agent in the Contact Control Panel (CCP).

key -> (string)

value -> (structure)

A link that an agent selects to complete a given task. You can have up to 4,096 UTF-8 bytes across all references for a contact.

Value -> (string)

A valid value for the reference. For example, for a URL reference, a formatted URL that is displayed to an agent in the Contact Control Panel (CCP).

Type -> (string)

The type of the reference. Only URL type can be added or updated on a contact.

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=Value=string,Type=string,KeyName2=Value=string,Type=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": {
      "Value": "string",
      "Type": "URL"|"ATTACHMENT"
    }
  ...}

--description (string)

A description of the task that is shown to an agent in the Contact Control Panel (CCP).

--client-token (string)

A unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request.

--scheduled-time (timestamp)

The timestamp, in Unix Epoch seconds format, at which to start running the inbound contact flow. The scheduled time cannot be in the past. It must be within up to 6 days in future.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Output

ContactId -> (string)
