Build and run workflows using the AWS API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
The AWS API unlocks endless possibilities for automation with Pipedream. With this powerful combo, you can manage your AWS services and resources, automate deployment workflows, process data, and react to events across your AWS infrastructure. Pipedream offers a serverless platform for creating workflows triggered by various events that can execute AWS SDK functions, making it an efficient tool to integrate, automate, and orchestrate tasks across AWS services and other apps.
import AWS from 'aws-sdk'
export default defineComponent({
props: {
aws: {
type: "app",
app: "aws",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const { accessKeyId, secretAccessKey } = this.aws.$auth
/* Now, pass the accessKeyId and secretAccessKey to the constructor for your desired service. For example:
const dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB({
accessKeyId,
secretAccessKey,
region: 'us-east-1',
})
*/
},

Example Use Cases#
Automated Backup to S3: Trigger a workflow when a new row is added to a Google Sheets document, process the data within Pipedream, and automatically back it up to an AWS S3 bucket. This ensures important data is stored safely without manual intervention.
CloudWatch Alerts Handler: Receive AWS CloudWatch alerts in Pipedream, process the data to determine the severity, and send notifications to a Slack channel. Additionally, create Jira tickets for high-severity alerts to streamline incident management.
Serverless Image Processing: On image upload to S3, trigger a Pipedream workflow that uses AWS Lambda to resize the image, then store the processed image back in another S3 bucket, and finally update a database record through AWS RDS to reflect the change. This creates a seamless media management pipeline.
Popular AWS Integrations#
Popular AWS Triggers#
Creates a Step Function State Machine to publish a message to an SNS topic at a specific timestamp. The SNS topic delivers the message to this Pipedream source, and the source emits it as a new event.
Creates an SNS topic in your AWS account. Messages published to this topic are emitted from the Pipedream source.
The source subscribes to all emails delivered to a specific domain configured in AWS SES. When an email is sent to any address at the domain, this event source emits that email as a formatted event. These events can trigger a Pipedream workflow and can be consumed via SSE or REST API.
Emit new event when a DynamoDB stream receives new events. See the docs here
Authentication#
AWS uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your AWS account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to AWS APIs in both code and no-code steps.
Follow the AWS Instructions for creating an IAM user with an associated access and secret key.
As a best practice, attach the minimum set of IAM permissions necessary to perform the specific task in Pipedream. If your workflow only needs to perform a single API call, you should create a user and associate an IAM group / policy with permission to do only that task. You can create as many linked AWS accounts in Pipedream as you'd like.
