Amazon SNS Component

Manage subscriptions, topics, and messages within Amazon (AWS) SNS

Component key: aws-sns

Description#

Amazon SNS is a service for both application-to-application (A2A) and application-to-person (A2P) communication. The Amazon SNS component allows you to interact with an SNS Topic.

Amazon SNS Connections#

AWS SNS Access Key and Secret#

An AWS IAM access key pair is required to interact with Amazon SNS. Make sure that the key pair you generate in AWS has proper permissions to the SNS resources you want to access. Read about Amazon SNS IAM policies in the AWS docs.

Triggers#

Subscription Trigger#

Confirm subscription and unsubscribe requests and validate SNS messages | key: subscriptionTrigger

InputDefaultNotes
Input
Parse Message
boolean
/ Required
parseMessage
Default
false
Notes
When enabled the message from SNS will be parsed as JSON and returned. If disabled it will be passed as received.

Amazon SNS can be configured to send notification to an HTTPS endpoint. To point SNS notifications towards your integration, identify your integration's webhook URL, and subscribe that URL to an SNS topic. Once a subscription has been created, new messages sent to your SNS topic will be sent to your Prismatic instance via its webhook URL.

Messages from SNS take one of three forms: Subscription Confirmation, Unsubscribe Confirmation or Notification. If a subscription or unsubscribe message is received, this trigger automatically handles the subscription confirmation process. This process lets Amazon SNS know that your instance is ready to receive and process notifications.

Depending on what type of message is received, the trigger will then follow a "Subscribe", "Unsubscribe" or "Notification" branch. These branches make it so you can configure additional steps that execute (e.g. you can alert your team via Slack that a subscription has been confirmed). "Subscribe" and "Unsubscribe" branches can be left blank if you don't have any additional steps you'd like to run once a subscription has been confirmed - you will likely only fill in steps under the "Notification" branch.

In addition to confirming subscriptions, this trigger verifies the signature of messages that come in, so you know they originated from Amazon.

Testing must be done through SNS

Because of signature verification, testing of integrations with this trigger must be done using Amazon SNS. Tests from the integration designer, or from curl or another HTTP client will fail since you can't spoof Amazon's message signature.

When a "Notification" message comes in, and it is a JSON string, you can optionally choose to parse the JSON using the "Parse Message" input. Note that if the incoming message is not valid JSON, the trigger will throw an error when "Parse Message" is set to true.
