attributes instance-attribute

attributes: NotRequired[Attributes]

A custom key-value pair using an attribute map. The attributes are standard Connect Customer attributes. They can be accessed in 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.

chat_duration_in_minutes instance-attribute

chat_duration_in_minutes: NotRequired[ChatDurationInMinutes]

The total duration of the newly started chat session. If not specified, the chat session duration defaults to 25 hour. The minimum configurable time is 60 minutes. The maximum configurable time is 10,080 minutes (7 days).

chat_streaming_configuration instance-attribute

chat_streaming_configuration: NotRequired[ChatStreamingConfiguration]

The streaming configuration, such as the Amazon SNS streaming endpoint. Use it to initiate real-time message streaming when the chat is created. This parameter is optional.

Setting this parameter returns a StreamingId in the response, and you do not need to call StartContactStreaming.

This parameter starts message streaming only. The response does not include connection information, and setting this parameter does not remove the need to call CreateParticipantConnection.

client_token instance-attribute

client_token: NotRequired[ClientToken]

A unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. If not provided, the Amazon Web Services SDK populates this field. For more information about idempotency, see Making retries safe with idempotent APIs.

connection_types instance-attribute

connection_types: NotRequired[ConnectionTypeList]

The types of connection information to return in the response. This parameter is optional.

To receive connection information, specify one or both of the following values:

  • CONNECTION_CREDENTIALS: Returns a connection token.

  • WEBSOCKET: Returns a websocket URL.

WEBSOCKET and CONNECTION_CREDENTIALS are the values this operation acts on. No other value returns connection information.

Request WEBSOCKET to get a URL the participant connects to directly. You do not need to call CreateParticipantConnection for it. Request CONNECTION_CREDENTIALS on its own and the response returns a connection token but no websocket URL.

If you omit this parameter, the response has no connection information.

When you start a new chat contact and the information you request cannot be returned, StartChatContact returns an error rather than a response that omits it. When you retry a request with the same ClientToken, the response repeats the original contact and can omit a websocket URL if the chat has already ended.

contact_flow_id instance-attribute

contact_flow_id: ContactFlowId

The identifier of the flow for initiating the chat. To see the ContactFlowId in the Connect Customer admin website, on the navigation menu go to Routing, Flows. Choose the flow. On the flow page, under the name of the flow, choose Show additional flow information. The ContactFlowId is the last part of the ARN, shown here in bold:

arn:aws:connect:us-west-2:xxxxxxxxxxxx:instance/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/contact-flow/846ec553-a005-41c0-8341-xxxxxxxxxxxx

initial_message instance-attribute

initial_message: NotRequired[ChatMessage]

The initial message to be sent to the newly created chat.

The unique identifier for an Connect Customer contact. This identifier is related to the chat starting.

You cannot provide data for both RelatedContactId and PersistentChat.

segment_attributes instance-attribute

segment_attributes: NotRequired[SegmentAttributes]

A set of system defined key-value pairs stored on individual contact segments using an attribute map. The attributes are standard Connect Customer attributes. They can be accessed in flows.

Attribute keys can include only alphanumeric, -, and _.

This field can be used to show channel subtype, such as connect:Guide.

The types application/vnd.amazonaws.connect.message.interactive and application/vnd.amazonaws.connect.message.interactive.response must be present in the SupportedMessagingContentTypes field of this API in order to set SegmentAttributes as { "connect:Subtype": {"valueString" : "connect:Guide" }}.

supported_messaging_content_types instance-attribute

supported_messaging_content_types: NotRequired[SupportedMessagingContentTypes]

The supported chat message content types. Supported types are text/plain, text/markdown, application/json, application/vnd.amazonaws.connect.message.interactive, and application/vnd.amazonaws.connect.message.interactive.response.

For example, all the following lists are valid because they contain text/plain: [text/plain, text/markdown, application/json], [text/markdown, text/plain], [text/plain, application/json, application/vnd.amazonaws.connect.message.interactive.response].

The type application/vnd.amazonaws.connect.message.interactive is required to use the Show view flow block.
