Cloudformation AWS Lex Bot Intent

Question

How to declare an Intent in a CloudFormation file? When I try to use the type "AWS::Lex::Bot Intent" it doesn't work... Is it possible or I need to create the Intent with aws cli/console?

Accepted Answer

To create an Intent for an Amazon Lex bot using CloudFormation, you can use a combination of AWS::Lex::Bot and AWS::Lex::BotVersion resources. Here's an example CloudFormation template snippet that demonstrates creating a Lex bot with an Intent:

Resources:
  MyLexBot:
    Type: "AWS::Lex::Bot"
    Properties:
      Name: "MyLexBot"
      Description: "My Amazon Lex Bot"
      Intents:
        - IntentName: "MyIntent"
          IntentVersion: "1"
          FulfillmentActivity:
            Type: "ReturnIntent"
          SampleUtterances:
            - "Hello"
            - "Goodbye"

MyLexBotAlias:
    Type: "AWS::Lex::BotVersion"
    Properties:
      Name: "MyLexBotAlias"
      BotName: !Ref MyLexBot
