End of support notice: On September 15, 2025, AWS will discontinue support for Amazon Lex V1. After September 15, 2025, you will no longer be able to access the Amazon Lex V1 console or Amazon Lex V1 resources. If you are using Amazon Lex V2, refer to the Amazon Lex V2 guide instead. .
Export your Amazon Lex bots, intents, and slot types to a format that you can import to an AWS account. You can export the following resources:
-
A bot, including all of the intents and custom slot types used by the bot
-
An intent, including all of the custom slot types used by the intent
-
A custom slot type, including all of values for the slot type
You can export only a numbered version of a resource. You can't export a
resource's $LATEST version.
Exporting is an asynchronous process. When the export is complete, you get an Amazon S3 presigned URL. The URL provides the location of a .zip archive that contains the exported resource in JSON format.
You use either the console or the GetExport operation to export bots, intents, and custom slot types.
The process for exporting, a bot, an intent, or a slot type is the same. In the following procedures, substitute intent or slot type for bot.
