startImport method

Future<StartImportResponse> startImport({ required MergeStrategy mergeStrategy, required Uint8List payload, required ResourceType resourceType, List<Tag>? tags, })

Starts a job to import a resource to Amazon Lex.

May throw LimitExceededException. May throw InternalFailureException. May throw BadRequestException.

Parameter mergeStrategy : Specifies the action that the StartImport operation should take when there is an existing resource with the same name.

• FAIL_ON_CONFLICT - The import operation is stopped on the first conflict between a resource in the import file and an existing resource. The name of the resource causing the conflict is in the failureReason field of the response to the GetImport operation.

  OVERWRITE_LATEST - The import operation proceeds even if there is a conflict with an existing resource. The $LASTEST version of the existing resource is overwritten with the data from the import file.

Parameter payload : A zip archive in binary format. The archive should contain one file, a JSON file containing the resource to import. The resource should match the type specified in the resourceType field.

Parameter resourceType : Specifies the type of resource to export. Each resource also exports any resources that it depends on.

• A bot exports dependent intents.
• An intent exports dependent slot types.

Parameter tags : A list of tags to add to the imported bot. You can only add tags when you import a bot, you can't add tags to an intent or slot type.
