Adds additional customer communication to a Amazon Web Services Support case

Description

Adds additional customer communication to a Amazon Web Services Support case. Use the caseId parameter to identify the case to which to add communication. To list a set of email addresses to copy on the communication, use the ccEmailAddresses parameter. The communicationBody value contains the text of the communication.

To attach files larger than 5 MB to the communication, use the uploadIds parameter.

Amazon Web Services Support automatically redacts sensitive information from support cases to protect your data. The following information is replaced with [REDACTED_BY_Amazon Web Services] and is not stored:

  • Amazon Web Services secret keys - The complete key is replaced. Example: [REDACTED_BY_Amazon Web Services]
  • Private keys - The complete key is replaced. Example: [REDACTED_BY_Amazon Web Services]
  • Credit card numbers - The number is redacted, but the last 4 digits remain. Example: [REDACTED_BY_Amazon Web Services]-7016

This sensitive information is never required by Amazon Web Services Support.

  • You must have an Amazon Web Services Business Support+, Amazon Web Services Enterprise Support, or Amazon Web Services Unified Operations plan to use the Amazon Web Services Support API. If you're in an Amazon Web Services Region that doesn't offer one of these Amazon Web Services Support plans, or if you haven't transitioned to one of these plans, you can use the Amazon Web Services Support API with a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise Support plan.
  • If you call the Amazon Web Services Support API from an account that doesn't have an Amazon Web Services Business Support+, Amazon Web Services Enterprise Support, or Amazon Web Services Unified Operations plan, the SubscriptionRequiredException error message appears. For information about changing your support plan, see Amazon Web Services Support.

Usage

support_add_communication_to_case(caseId, communicationBody,
  ccEmailAddresses, attachmentSetId, uploadIds, dryRun)

Arguments

  • caseId

The support case ID requested or returned in the call. The case ID is an alphanumeric string formatted as shown in this example: case-12345678910-exen-2025-c4c1d2bf33c5cf47

  • communicationBody

[required] The body of an email communication to add to the support case.

  • ccEmailAddresses

The email addresses in the CC line of an email to be added to the support case.

  • attachmentSetId

The ID of a set of one or more attachments for the communication to add to the case. Create the set by calling add_attachments_to_set. Each attachment in the set must be 5 MB or smaller. To attach files larger than 5 MB, use uploadIds.

  • uploadIds

A list of upload IDs that identify attachments to add to the case. Each uploadId is returned by the get_attachment_upload_links operation. The upload must reach the attachment-ready state by calling complete_attachment_upload before it can be passed here. Use uploadIds to attach files of any supported size, including files larger than 5 MB.

  • dryRun

Specifies whether to validate the request without actually adding the communication to the case. When set to true, the request is validated but the communication isn't added, and the operation returns a DryRunOperationException. When omitted or set to false, the request runs normally.

Value

A list with the following syntax:

list(
  result = TRUE|FALSE
)
