<a name="kik-bot-assoc-create-assoc"></a>

Now that you have created an Amazon Lex bot and a Kik bot, you are ready to create an channel association between them in Amazon Lex. When the association is activated, Amazon Lex automatically sets up a callback URL with Kik.

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console, and open the Amazon Lex console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/lex/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/lex/). 

1. Choose the Amazon Lex bot that you created in Step 1.

1. Choose the **Channels** tab.

1. In the **Channels** section, choose **Kik**. 

1. On the Kik page, provide the following:
   + Type a name. For example, `BotKikIntegration`.
   + Type a description.
   + Choose "aws/lex" from the **KMS key** drop-down.
   + For **Alias**, choose an alias from the drop-down.
   + For **Kik bot user name**, type the name that you gave the bot on Kik.
   + For **Kik API key**, type the API key that was assigned to the bot on Kik.
   + For **User greeting**, type the greeting that you would like your bot to send the first time that a user chats with it.
   + For **Error message**, enter an error message that is shown to the user when part of the conversation is not understood.
   + For **Group chat behavior**, choose one of the options:
     + **Enable** – Enables the entire chat group to interact with your bot in a single conversation.
     + **Disable** – Restricts the conversation to one user in the chat group.

      
   + Choose **Activate** to create the association and link it to the Kik bot.
