Custom actions in AWS Chatbot
Custom actions are preconfigured buttons you add to custom and default notifications. These actions allow you to automate commonly used DevOps processes and incident response tasks. When you create a custom action, you configure your action button to run either a CLI command or a Lambda function. Action targets can be paramaterized by using the parameters available in your notification metadata. You can use custom actions to retrieve telemetry information, run an automation runbook, and notify team members. When an issue arises, you can take action directly from your notifications. Custom actions are available in AWS Chatbot configurations for Microsoft Teams and Slack. Custom actions can't be created using AWS CDK at this time.
No additional permissions are needed to configure or run custom actions. When your channel members choose the custom action button, the action target is invoked using the configured IAM permissions in your channel configuration.
