If you are using Amazon Lex V2, refer to the Amazon Lex V2 guide instead.
If you are using Amazon Lex V1, we recommend upgrading your bots to Amazon Lex V2. We are no longer adding new features to V1 and strongly recommend using V2 for all new bots.
Built-in Intents
For common actions, you can use the standard built-in intents library. To create an intent from a built-in intent, choose a built-intent in the console, and give it a new name. The new intent has the configuration of the base intent, such as the sample utterances.
In the current implementation, you can't do the following:
-
Add or remove sample utterances from the base intent
-
Configure slots for built-in intents
To add a built-in intent to a bot
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Lex console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/lex/
. -
Choose the bot to add the built-in intent to.
-
In the navigation pane, choose the plus (+) next to Intents.
-
For Add intent, choose Search existing intents.
-
In the Search intents box, type the name of the built-in intent to add to your bot.
-
For Copy built-in intent, give the intent a name, and then choose Add.
-
Configure the intent as required for your bot.
