put-intent¶

Description¶

Creates an intent or replaces an existing intent.

To define the interaction between the user and your bot, you use one or more intents. For a pizza ordering bot, for example, you would create an OrderPizza intent.

To create an intent or replace an existing intent, you must provide the following:

Intent name. For example, OrderPizza .
Sample utterances. For example, “Can I order a pizza, please.” and “I want to order a pizza.”
Information to be gathered. You specify slot types for the information that your bot will request from the user. You can specify standard slot types, such as a date or a time, or custom slot types such as the size and crust of a pizza.
How the intent will be fulfilled. You can provide a Lambda function or configure the intent to return the intent information to the client application. If you use a Lambda function, when all of the intent information is available, Amazon Lex invokes your Lambda function. If you configure your intent to return the intent information to the client application.

You can specify other optional information in the request, such as:

A confirmation prompt to ask the user to confirm an intent. For example, “Shall I order your pizza?”
A conclusion statement to send to the user after the intent has been fulfilled. For example, “I placed your pizza order.”
A follow-up prompt that asks the user for additional activity. For example, asking “Do you want to order a drink with your pizza?”

If you specify an existing intent name to update the intent, Amazon Lex replaces the values in the $LATEST version of the intent with the values in the request. Amazon Lex removes fields that you don’t provide in the request. If you don’t specify the required fields, Amazon Lex throws an exception. When you update the $LATEST version of an intent, the status field of any bot that uses the $LATEST version of the intent is set to NOT_BUILT .

For more information, see how-it-works .

This operation requires permissions for the lex:PutIntent action.

Options¶

--name (string)

The name of the intent. The name is not case sensitive.

The name can’t match a built-in intent name, or a built-in intent name with “AMAZON.” removed. For example, because there is a built-in intent called AMAZON.HelpIntent , you can’t create a custom intent called HelpIntent .

For a list of built-in intents, see Standard Built-in Intents in the Alexa Skills Kit .

--description (string)

A description of the intent.

--slots (list)

An array of intent slots. At runtime, Amazon Lex elicits required slot values from the user using prompts defined in the slots. For more information, see how-it-works .

(structure)

Identifies the version of a specific slot.

name -> (string)

The name of the slot.

description -> (string)

A description of the slot.

slotConstraint -> (string)

Specifies whether the slot is required or optional.

slotType -> (string)

The type of the slot, either a custom slot type that you defined or one of the built-in slot types.

slotTypeVersion -> (string)

The version of the slot type.

valueElicitationPrompt -> (structure)

The prompt that Amazon Lex uses to elicit the slot value from the user.

messages -> (list)

An array of objects, each of which provides a message string and its type. You can specify the message string in plain text or in Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML).

(structure)

The message object that provides the message text and its type.

contentType -> (string)

The content type of the message string.

content -> (string)

The text of the message.

groupNumber -> (integer)

Identifies the message group that the message belongs to. When a group is assigned to a message, Amazon Lex returns one message from each group in the response.

maxAttempts -> (integer)

The number of times to prompt the user for information.

responseCard -> (string)

A response card. Amazon Lex uses this prompt at runtime, in the PostText API response. It substitutes session attributes and slot values for placeholders in the response card. For more information, see ex-resp-card .

priority -> (integer)

Directs Amazon Lex the order in which to elicit this slot value from the user. For example, if the intent has two slots with priorities 1 and 2, AWS Amazon Lex first elicits a value for the slot with priority 1.

If multiple slots share the same priority, the order in which Amazon Lex elicits values is arbitrary.

sampleUtterances -> (list)

If you know a specific pattern with which users might respond to an Amazon Lex request for a slot value, you can provide those utterances to improve accuracy. This is optional. In most cases, Amazon Lex is capable of understanding user utterances.

(string)

responseCard -> (string)

A set of possible responses for the slot type used by text-based clients. A user chooses an option from the response card, instead of using text to reply.

obfuscationSetting -> (string)

Determines whether a slot is obfuscated in conversation logs and stored utterances. When you obfuscate a slot, the value is replaced by the slot name in curly braces ({}). For example, if the slot name is “full_name”, obfuscated values are replaced with “{full_name}”. For more information, see Slot Obfuscation .

defaultValueSpec -> (structure)

A list of default values for the slot. Default values are used when Amazon Lex hasn’t determined a value for a slot. You can specify default values from context variables, session attributes, and defined values.

defaultValueList -> (list)

The default values for a slot. You can specify more than one default. For example, you can specify a default value to use from a matching context variable, a session attribute, or a fixed value.

The default value chosen is selected based on the order that you specify them in the list. For example, if you specify a context variable and a fixed value in that order, Amazon Lex uses the context variable if it is available, else it uses the fixed value.

(structure)

A default value for a slot.

defaultValue -> (string)

The default value for the slot. You can specify one of the following:

#context-name.slot-name - The slot value “slot-name” in the context “context-name.”

{attribute} - The slot value of the session attribute “attribute.”

In each utterance, a slot name is enclosed in curly braces.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--confirmation-prompt (structure)

Prompts the user to confirm the intent. This question should have a yes or no answer.

Amazon Lex uses this prompt to ensure that the user acknowledges that the intent is ready for fulfillment. For example, with the OrderPizza intent, you might want to confirm that the order is correct before placing it. For other intents, such as intents that simply respond to user questions, you might not need to ask the user for confirmation before providing the information.

--follow-up-prompt (structure)

Amazon Lex uses this prompt to solicit additional activity after fulfilling an intent. For example, after the OrderPizza intent is fulfilled, you might prompt the user to order a drink.

The action that Amazon Lex takes depends on the user’s response, as follows:

If the user says “Yes” it responds with the clarification prompt that is configured for the bot.

if the user says “Yes” and continues with an utterance that triggers an intent it starts a conversation for the intent.

If the user says “No” it responds with the rejection statement configured for the the follow-up prompt.

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table
yaml
yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

base64
raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
