Find the flow ID

The flow ID is the flow you want to use for inbound Apple Messages for Business messages. Flows define the experiences for your customer when they begin a new chat.

You can either reuse an existing flow that you’re already using for voice or chat contacts, or create a new one specifically for Apple Messages for Business contacts. For instructions about creating a new inbound flow, see Create an inbound flow.

For more information about flows, see Create Amazon Connect Flows.
