-Since sessions are created for contacts while customer service agents are using Amazon Connect and Amazon Q in Connect, a useful way to add session data is by using Amazon Connect flow block automation to call the [UpdateSessionData](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/APIReference/API_amazon-q-connect_UpdateSession.html) API to add information to the session as necessary.
+Since sessions are created for contacts while customer service agents are using Amazon Connect and Amazon Q in Connect, a useful way to add session data is by using a flow: Use a [AWS Lambda function](./invoke-lambda-function-block.html) block to call the [UpdateSessionData](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/APIReference/API_amazon-q-connect_UpdateSessionData.html) API. The API can add information to the session.
+
+Here's what you do: 
+
+  1. Add a [Amazon Q in Connect](./q-block.html) block to your flow. It associates an Amazon Q in Connect domain to a contact so Amazon Connect can search knowledge bases for real-time recommendations.
+
+  2. Place the [AWS Lambda function](./invoke-lambda-function-block.html) block after your [Amazon Q in Connect](./q-block.html) block. The [UpdateSessionData](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/APIReference/API_amazon-q-connect_UpdateSessionData.html) API requires the sessionId from Amazon Q in Connect. You can retrieve the sessionId by using the [DescribeContact](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeContact.html) API and the assistantId that is associated with the [Amazon Q in Connect](./q-block.html) block.
