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.

 
Try it
New Deleted S3 File from the AWS API

Emit new event when a file is deleted from a S3 bucket

 
Try it
New DynamoDB Stream Event from the AWS API

Emit new event when a DynamoDB stream receives new events. See the docs here

 
Try it

Actions

CloudWatch Logs - Put Log Event with the AWS API

Uploads a log event to the specified log stream. See docs

 
Try it
DynamoDB - Execute Statement with the AWS API

This operation allows you to perform transactional reads or writes on data stored in DynamoDB, using PartiQL. See docs

 
Try it
DynamoDB - Get Item with the AWS API

The Get Item operation returns a set of attributes for the item with the given primary key. If there is no matching item, Get Item does not return any data and there will be no Item element in the response. See docs

 
Try it
DynamoDB - Put Item with the AWS API

Creates a new item, or replaces an old item with a new item. If an item that has the same primary key as the new item already exists in the specified table, the new item completely replaces the existing item. See docs

 
Try it
DynamoDB - Query with the AWS API

The query operation finds items based on primary key values. See docs
