Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
AWS	`aws`	`app`	This component uses the AWS app.
AWS Region	`region`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
CloudWatch Log Groups	`logGroupName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
CloudWatch Log Streams	`logStreamName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Message	`message`	`string`	The event message
Timestamp	`timestamp`	`integer`	The Unix timestamp for when the event occurred, in milliseconds
Sequence token	`sequenceToken`	`string`	The sequence token obtained from the response of the previous `PutLogEvents` call. An upload in a newly created log stream does not need a sequence token. You can also get the sequence token using `DescribeLogStreams`. If you call `PutLogEvents` twice within a narrow time period using the same value for sequenceToken, both calls might be successful or one might be rejected.

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.

Enter your access and secret key below.

More Ways to Use AWS#

Triggers#

New Scheduled Tasks from the AWS API

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.

Try it

New SNS Messages from the AWS API

Creates an SNS topic in your AWS account. Messages published to this topic are emitted from the Pipedream source.

Try it

New Inbound SES Emails from the AWS API

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.
