Creating failure alerts by automating with EventBridge
The Amazon Chime SDK delivers Events when there is an error invoking your processor Lambda
function. Events are sent regardless of the Fallback
action specified for the processor when
creating a channel flow. You can write simple rules to specify these events, plus the automated
actions to take when any of those events matches a rule. For more information, see the Amazon EventBridge User Guide. When
errors like these occur, then depending on the Fallback
action that you configure, members on the
channel can't send messages, or messages will flow through the channel with no processing. For
more information about the Fallback
action, refer to Processor in the Amazon Chime SDK API reference.
This example shows a typical failure event.
