Migrate flows to an instance, Region, or environment in Amazon Connect

Amazon Connect lets you efficiently migrate flows to another instance. For example, you might want to expand into new Regions, or move flows from your development environment to your production environment.

To migrate a few flows, use the import/export feature in the flow designer.

To migrate hundreds of flows, you need developer skills. You use the following procedure:

  1. Source instance

    • ListContactFlow: Retrieve the Amazon Resource Number (ARN) for the flows that you want to migrate.

    • DescribeContactFlow: Get information about each flow that you want to migrate.

  2. Destination instance

You must also build an ARN-to-ARN mapping for queues, flows, and prompts between the source and target Amazon Connect instances, and replace every ARN in the source flow with the corresponding ARN from the target instance. Otherwise UpdateContactFlowContent fails with InvalidContactFlow error.

You can update the information in the flows that you migrate. For more information, see Flow language in the Amazon Connect API Reference Guide.
