    protocol: ContactProtocol,

    tags: Optional[TagList] = None,
) -> CreateContactMethodResult

Creates an email or SMS text message contact method.

A contact method is used to send you notifications about your Amazon Lightsail resources. You can add one email address and one mobile phone number contact method in each Amazon Web Services Region. However, SMS text messaging is not supported in some Amazon Web Services Regions, and SMS text messages cannot be sent to some countries/regions. For more information, see Notifications in Amazon Lightsail.

The create contact method operation supports tag-based access control via request tags. For more information, see the Lightsail Developer Guide.

Parameters:

  • protocol (ContactProtocol) –

    The protocol of the contact method, such as Email or SMS (text messaging).

    The SMS protocol is supported only in the following Amazon Web Services Regions.

    • US East (N. Virginia) (us-east-1)

    • US West (Oregon) (us-west-2)

    • Europe (Ireland) (eu-west-1)

    • Asia Pacific (Tokyo) (ap-northeast-1)

    • Asia Pacific (Singapore) (ap-southeast-1)

    • Asia Pacific (Sydney) (ap-southeast-2)

    For a list of countries/regions where SMS text messages can be sent, and the latest Amazon Web Services Regions where SMS text messaging is supported, see Supported Regions and Countries in the Amazon SNS Developer Guide.

    For more information about notifications in Amazon Lightsail, see Notifications in Amazon Lightsail.

  • contact_endpoint (StringMax256) –

    The destination of the contact method, such as an email address or a mobile phone number.

    Use the E.164 format when specifying a mobile phone number. E.164 is a standard for the phone number structure used for international telecommunication. Phone numbers that follow this format can have a maximum of 15 digits, and they are prefixed with the plus character (+) and the country code. For example, a U.S. phone number in E.164 format would be specified as +1XXX5550100. For more information, see E.164 on Wikipedia.

  • tags (Optional[TagList], default: None ) –

    The tag keys and optional values to add to the contact method during create.

    Use the TagResource action to tag a resource after it's created.

Raises:

  • AccessDeniedException –

    Lightsail throws this exception when the user cannot be authenticated or uses invalid credentials to access a resource.

  • InvalidInputException –

    Lightsail throws this exception when user input does not conform to the validation rules of an input field.

    Domain and distribution APIs are only available in the N. Virginia (us-east-1) Amazon Web Services Region. Please set your Amazon Web Services Region configuration to us-east-1 to create, view, or edit these resources.

  • NotFoundException –

    Lightsail throws this exception when it cannot find a resource.

  • OperationFailureException –

    Lightsail throws this exception when an operation fails to execute.

  • RegionSetupInProgressException –

    Lightsail throws this exception when an operation is performed on resources in an opt-in Region that is currently being set up.

  • ServiceException –

    A general service exception.

  • UnauthenticatedException –

    Lightsail throws this exception when the user has not been authenticated.

  • UnknownServiceError –

    The service returned an error code this client does not model.
