**To deactivate a contact channel**

The following ``deactivate-contact-channel`` example deactivates a contact channel. Deactivating a contact channel means the contact channel will no longer be paged during an incident. You can also reactivate a contact channel at any time using the ``activate-contact-channel`` command. ::

    aws ssm-contacts deactivate-contact-channel \
        --contact-channel-id "arn:aws:ssm-contacts:us-east-2:111122223333:contact-channel/akuam/fc7405c4-46b2-48b7-87b2-93e2f225b90d"
