Hi,
Based on the documentation and the following stackoverflow article, unfortunately, it does not look like its possible to add a delay to the Lex Bot chat responses.

kg1980,

You can use SSML to control the response experience : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lex/latest/dg/API_runtime_PostText.html

Can you please explain what ‘too fast’ means and how you want the experience to be?

Randy,

You can add a ‘please wait’ you get lex to fulfil the intent and get Amazon connect to play the please wait, followed by 5s of silence, then get connect to play the data/message required.

Thanks
Dan
