ActiveContext - Amazon Lex API Reference

ActiveContext

Contains information about the contexts that a user is using in a session. You can configure Amazon Lex V2 to set a context when an intent is fulfilled, or you can set a context using the PutSession, RecognizeText, or RecognizeUtterance operations.

Use a context to indicate to Amazon Lex V2 intents that should be used as follow-up intents. For example, if the active context is order-fulfilled, only intents that have order-fulfilled configured as a trigger are considered for follow up.

Contents

contextAttributes

A list of contexts active for the request. A context can be activated when a previous intent is fulfilled, or by including the context in the request.

If you don't specify a list of contexts, Amazon Lex V2 will use the current list of contexts for the session. If you specify an empty list, all contexts for the session are cleared.
