Step 1: Publish the Slot Type (AWS CLI) - Amazon Lex V1

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. .

Before you can publish a version of any intents that use a slot type, you must publish a version of that slot type. In this case, you publish the FlowerTypes slot type.

Note

The following AWS CLI example is formatted for Unix, Linux, and macOS. For Windows, change "\$LATEST" to $LATEST and replace the backslash (\) continuation character at the end of each line with a caret (^).

To publish a slot type (AWS CLI)

In the AWS CLI, get the latest version of the slot type:


aws lex-models get-slot-type \
    --region region \
    --name FlowerTypes \
    --slot-type-version "\$LATEST"

The response from Amazon Lex follows. Record the checksum for the current revision of the $LATEST version.

{
    "enumerationValues": [
        {
            "value": "tulips"
        }, 
        {
            "value": "lilies"
        }, 
        {
            "value": "roses"
        }
    ], 
    "name": "FlowerTypes", 
    "checksum": "checksum", 
    "version": "$LATEST", 
    "lastUpdatedDate": timestamp, 
    "createdDate": timestamp, 
    "description": "Types of flowers to pick up"
}

Publish a version of the slot type. Use the checksum that you recorded in the previous step.


aws lex-models create-slot-type-version \
    --region region \
    --name FlowerTypes \
    --checksum "checksum"

The response from Amazon Lex follows. Record the version number for the next step.

{
    "version": "1", 
    "enumerationValues": [
        {
            "value": "tulips"
        }, 
        {
            "value": "lilies"
        }, 
        {
            "value": "roses"
        }
    ], 
    "name": "FlowerTypes", 
    "createdDate": timestamp, 
    "lastUpdatedDate": timestamp, 
    "description": "Types of flowers to pick up"
}
