Amazon service action connectors

With Amazon service action connectors in Amazon Quick Suite, you can create action connectors that interact directly with Amazon services like Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Textract, and Amazon Comprehend. These connectors enable automated workflows that leverage Amazon AI and machine learning capabilities.

What you can do

Amazon service action connectors enable you to integrate powerful Amazon capabilities into your automated workflows. For example, you can use Amazon Bedrock to generate content with foundation models, Amazon Textract to extract text and data from documents, or Amazon Comprehend to analyze sentiment and extract insights from text. These action connectors allow you to build sophisticated automation workflows that combine multiple Amazon services for document processing, content generation, and data analysis—all while maintaining security through IAM role-based authentication.

Note

Amazon services action connectors can only be used with Amazon Quick Automate because they require an IAM identity for authentication. These connectors are created through the admin console and provide direct access to Amazon service APIs.

Supported Amazon services

Amazon Quick Suite supports the following Amazon services for action connectors:

  • Amazon Bedrock Agent - Invoke Bedrock agents for complex AI workflows.

  • Amazon Bedrock Runtime - Access foundation models for text generation and conversation.

  • Amazon Bedrock Data Automation - Automate data processing workflows with AI.

  • Amazon Comprehend - Analyze text for sentiment, entities, and key phrases.

  • Amazon Comprehend Medical - Extract medical information from healthcare text.

  • Amazon Textract - Extract text and data from documents and images.

  • Amazon S3 - Manage objects and buckets in S3.

Before you begin

Before you set up an Amazon service action connectors, make sure you have the following:

  • Amazon account with access to the desired Amazon services.

  • IAM role with appropriate permissions for the Amazon services you want to use.

  • Amazon Quick Suite Admin access to create action connectors.

  • Amazon Quick Automate access to use the action connectors in workflows.

Prepare IAM role and permissions

Before setting up the action connectors in Amazon Quick Suite, prepare your IAM role with the necessary permissions for the Amazon services you want to use.

Required IAM permissions

Configure your IAM role with the appropriate permissions based on the Amazon services you plan to use. Make sure your IAM role includes a trust policy that allows Amazon Quick Suite to assume the role for executing actions.

IAM Role for Resource Access

First, you will need to create an IAM role that will be used by Amazon Quick Suite to call the Amazon service needed in your Amazon Quick Automate workflow.

  1. Login to the Amazon Console of the Amazon account where the Amazon Quick Suite subscription resides.

  2. Open IAM and create a new IAM role.

  3. Give it all the permissions for the Amazon service you want to invoke via action connectors. For example, you can assign a managed policy like AmazonS3FullAccess if you need to invoke Amazon S3.

  4. In the trust relationship, give the assume role permission to quicksight.amazonaws.com. This allows Amazon Quick Suite to assume this role and call Amazon S3/Amazon Textract/etc on your behalf.

  5. Once the Customer Role is created, take a note of the IAM role ARN.

Example trust policy:

Note

For pre-prod stages, you will also have to include "quicksight-test.amazonaws.com" in the "Service" array.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "Statement1",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "Service": [
                    "quicksight.amazonaws.com"
                ]
            },
            "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
        }
    ]
}

    • Role ARN - Enter the ARN of the IAM role that provides the proper permissions for the Amazon service.

  10. Select Next.
