# AMAZON.Time
<a name="built-in-slot-time"></a>

Converts words that represent times into time values. `AMAZON.Time` can resolve exact times, ambiguous values, and time ranges. The slot value can resolve to the following time ranges:
+ AM
+ PM
+ MO (morning)
+ AF (afternoon)
+ EV (evening)
+ NI (night)

When a user enters an ambiguous time, Amazon Lex V2 uses the `slots` attribute of a Lambda event to pass resolutions for the ambiguous times to your Lambda function. For example, if your bot prompts the user for a delivery time, the user can respond by saying "10 o'clock." This time is ambiguous. It means either 10:00 AM or 10:00 PM. In this case, the value in the `interpretedValue` field is `null`, and the `resolvedValues` field contains the two possible resolutions of the time. Amazon Lex V2 inputs the following into the Lambda function:

```
"slots": {
    "deliveryTime": {
    "value": {
        "originalValue": "10 o'clock",
        "interpretedValue": null,
        "resolvedValues": [
            "10:00", "22:00"
        ]
    }
}
```

When the user responds with an unambiguous time, Amazon Lex V2 sends the time to your Lambda function in the `interpretedValue` field of the `slots` attribute of the Lambda event. For example, if your user responds to the prompt for a delivery time with "10:00 AM," Amazon Lex V2 inputs the following into the Lambda function:

```
"slots": {
    "deliveryTime": {
        "value": {
        "originalValue": "10 AM",
        "interpretedValue": 10:00,
        "resolvedValues": [
            "10:00"
        ]
    }
}
```

When the user responds to a prompt for a delivery time with "in the morning," Amazon Lex V2 inputs the following into the Lambda function:

```
"slots": {
    "deliveryTime": {
    "value": {
        "originalValue": "morning",
        "interpretedValue": "MO",
        "resolvedValues": [
            "MO"
        ]
    }
}
```
