Prerequisites for connecting Amazon Q Business to Quip

Before you begin, make sure that you have completed the following prerequisites.

In Quip, make sure you have:

• A Quip account with administrative permissions.

• Created Quip authentication credentials that include a personal access token. See Quip documentation on authentication for more information.

• Copied your Quip site domain. For example, https://quip-company.quipdomain.com/browse where quipdomain is the domain.

In your AWS account, make sure you have:

• Created an IAM role for your data source and, if using the Amazon Q API, noted the ARN of the IAM role.

• Stored your Quip authentication credentials in an AWS Secrets Manager secret and, if using the Amazon Q API, noted the ARN of the secret.

  Note

  If you’re a console user, you can create the IAM role and Secrets Manager secret as part of configuring your Amazon Q application on the console.
