How to give access to your Lex bot for Rapport
In order for Rapport to visualize your Lex bot creation, you’d have to grant read access for us. By giving this type of access, we won’t be able to modify anything, just direct conversations to your bot’s way and get its responses back for visualization. To give access, please follow these steps:
-
Log in to your AWS console and navigate to IAM.
-
Select Roles on the left under Access management and press the Create Role button. Complete the form as follows:
21 Click on Services
Select IAM on the Right hand panel
Then choose Roles
22 Create a role
Enter 621658667134 into the Account ID field.
Then click Next
Enter Lex in the search field and

Search for AmazonLexReadOnly and select the policy.
-
Search for AmazonLexRunBotsOnly and select the policy.
3. Search for AmazonPollyReadOnlyAccess and select the policy.
Enter Polly
4. Click Next
Enter the name and description of the role
At the bottom of the screen click CREATE Role
Click on the role your created, in this case MakeanAppoint2
23 Here you will find the details that are required for linking with Rapport.
It’s the ARN number in the middle.
-
Click on the role name and it will load the new role.
-
Look for the Role ARN and use that on our Rapport AI Registration site.
( It should look something like this:
arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/rapport-lex-mylexrole1 )
In this case arn:aws:iam::802779006630:role/MakeanAppoint2
24 Then enter your details in Rapport. As an example
The Name should be the name of your Bot
The alias should be the alias associated with your Bot
The IAM role should be the information from the ARN field in amazon.
Then submit.
