Connecting Quip to Amazon Q Business

Note

Quip connector remains fully supported for existing customers through May 31, 2026. While this connector is no longer available for new users, current users can continue to use it without interruption. We are continuously evolving our connector portfolio to offer more scalable and customizable solutions. For future integrations, we recommend exploring the Amazon Q Business Custom Connector Framework[1], designed to support a broader range of enterprise use cases with enhanced flexibility.

Quip is a collaborative productivity software that offers real time document-authoring capabilities. You can connect your Quip instance to Amazon Q Business—using either the AWS Management Console, CLI, or the CreateDataSource API—and create an Amazon Q web experience.
