## Deploying an Amazon Lex Bot on a Messaging Platform

* **Note**\
  When storing your Facebook, Slack, or Twilio configurations, Amazon Lex uses AWS Key Management Service customer master keys (CMK) to encrypt the information. The first time that you create a channel to one of these messaging platforms, Amazon Lex creates a default CMK (`aws/lex`). Alternatively, you can create your own CMK with AWS KMS. This gives you more flexibility, including the ability to create, rotate, and disable keys. You can also define access controls and audit the encryption keys used to protect your data. For more information, see the [AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://awsnotes.dendron.so/machine-learning/amazon-lex/topics/deploying-bots.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
