The Chatbot chat channel used for collaboration during an incident.
Note
This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set:chatbotSns
,empty
.chatbotSns -> (list)
The Amazon SNS targets that Chatbot uses to notify the chat channel of updates to an incident. You can also make updates to the incident through the chat channel by using the Amazon SNS topics.
(string)
empty -> (structure)
Used to remove the chat channel from an incident record or response plan.
Shorthand Syntax:

--incident-template
(structure)
Details used to create an incident when using this response plan.
dedupeString -> (string)
The string Incident Manager uses to prevent the same root cause from creating multiple incidents in the same account.
A deduplication string is a term or phrase the system uses to check for duplicate incidents. If you specify a deduplication string, Incident Manager searches for open incidents that contain the same string in the
dedupeString
field when it creates the incident. If a duplicate is detected, Incident Manager deduplicates the newer incident into the existing incident.Note
By default, Incident Manager automatically deduplicates multiple incidents created by the same Amazon CloudWatch alarm or Amazon EventBridge event. You don't have to enter your own deduplication string to prevent duplication for these resource types.impact -> (integer)
The impact of the incident on your customers and applications.
Supported impact codes
1
- Critical2
- High3
- Medium4
- Low5
- No ImpactincidentTags -> (map)
Tags to assign to the template. When the
StartIncident
API action is called, Incident Manager assigns the tags specified in the template to the incident.key -> (string)
value -> (string)
notificationTargets -> (list)

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.
Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .
To create a response plan
The following create-response-plan
example creates a response plan with the specified details.
aws ssm-incidents create-response-plan \
--chat-channel '{"chatbotSns": ["arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:111122223333:Standard_User"]}' \
--display-name "Example response plan" \
--incident-template '{"impact": 5, "title": "example-incident"}' \
--name "example-response" \
--actions '[{"ssmAutomation": {"documentName": "AWSIncidents-CriticalIncidentRunbookTemplate", "documentVersion": "$DEFAULT", "roleArn": "arn:aws:iam::111122223333:role/aws-service-role/ssm-incidents.amazonaws.com/AWSServiceRoleForIncidentManager", "targetAccount": "RESPONSE_PLAN_OWNER_ACCOUNT"}}]' \
--engagements '["arn:aws:ssm-contacts:us-east-1:111122223333:contact/example"]'
Output:
{
"arn": "arn:aws:ssm-incidents::111122223333:response-plan/example-response"
}
