Amazon Quick Sight steps in flows
The Amazon Quick Sight card enables flow creators to generate outputs using structured data that are already available within your customer's Amazon Quick Suite instance. Using the Quick Sight card in flows, users can leverage existing Dashboards and Topics to create multi-visual answers that provide comprehensive data insights.
Overview
The Quick Sight card integration brings the power of your existing Quick Sight resources directly into Amazon Quick Flows. This functionality allows you to seamlessly incorporate data visualizations and analytics into your flow-based applications. By connecting to your established Quick Sight environment, you can create rich, data-driven responses that combine multiple visual elements.
Configuring Amazon Quick Sight card
Configuration of the Quick Sight card requires establishing the connection between your flow and your Quick Suite instance. Begin by selecting the Quick Sight card from the available Flow components and specify the target Quick Suite resources you want to access.
Connection setup

Resource selection
Choose from your existing Quick Sight resources including dashboards and topics. The card provides a browsable interface that displays your available resources, making it easy to select the specific data sources and visualizations you want to incorporate into your flow.
Data source configuration
Configure how the card will interact with your selected Quick Sight resources. Specify parameters such as filters, date ranges, and other criteria as natural language prompts in your Quick Sight card configuration that will determine which data gets included in your flow outputs. This configuration ensures that the generated responses are relevant and targeted to your specific use case.
Running Amazon Quick Sight card
Running the Quick Sight card executes queries against your configured Quick Sight resources and generates structured outputs based on the available data. The functionality provides intelligent responses that combine multiple data sources and visualizations.
Query execution
When the Quick Sight card runs, it processes the input parameters and executes the appropriate queries against your selected Quick Sight resources. The card intelligently determines which dashboards or topics are most relevant to the current Flow context and retrieves the corresponding data.
Multi-visual response generation
The card generates comprehensive responses that can include multiple visual elements from your Quick Sight environment. These responses combine charts, graphs, tables, and other visualizations to provide complete answers to user queries. The multi-visual approach ensures that users receive rich, contextual information that addresses their specific needs.
