How to deploy step-by-step guides in chats

Ensure that you have enabled and configured step-by-step Guides for agents. After you configure the guides, confirm that they pop up when a contact is reserved for an agent to answer.

Set up your flow to invoke Views in the chat flow by using the Show View Block, in the same way that you would configure this for your agent. The following example will trigger the guide when the chat bubble is chosen by the customer. The flow will go through two views before transferring the chat to an agent.

Create a hosted chat widget from the admin page. Set the chat flow to the one you created.

This hosted chat will generate a script similar to the following:

<script type="text/javascript">
  (function(w, d, x, id){
    s=d.createElement('script');
    s.src='https://d38ij7tdo5kvz7.cloudfront.net/amazon-connect-chat-interface-client.js';
    s.async=1;
    s.id=id;
    d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);
    w[x] =  w[x] || function() { (w[x].ac = w[x].ac || []).push(arguments) };
  })(window, document, 'amazon_connect', '0b68a091-3538-4dcd-888e-f3b3ae64c5aa');
  amazon_connect('styles', { iconType: 'CHAT', openChat: { color: '#ffffff', backgroundColor: '#123456' }, closeChat: { color: '#ffffff', backgroundColor: '#123456'} });
  amazon_connect('snippetId', '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');
  amazon_connect('supportedMessagingContentTypes', [ 'text/plain', 'text/markdown' ]);
</script>                                      
                    

The last line contains an array of allowed messages. You can add interactive messages to it to enable Guides within chat. For example:

amazon_connect('supportedMessagingContentTypes', ['text/plain', 'application/vnd.amazonaws.connect.message.interactive', 'application/vnd.amazonaws.connect.message.interactive.response']);                        
                    

Add the following to your allow list of URLs to allow step-by-step Guides to work within chat:

If you use a CSP for the chat widget to work on your website, you should already have a cloudfront url. For example:
