Amazon SNS event destinations

This page lists all destinations that can receive information on events, grouped by application-to-application (A2A) messaging and application-to-person (A2P) notifications.

Note

Amazon SNS introduced FIFO topics in October, 2020. Currently, most AWS services support receiving events from SNS standard topics only. Amazon SQS supports receiving events from both SNS standard and FIFO topics.

Note

You can deliver both native AWS events and custom events to chat apps:

  • Native AWS events – You can use AWS Chatbot to send native AWS events, through Amazon SNS topics, to Amazon Chime and Slack. The supported set of native AWS events includes events from AWS Billing and Cost Management, AWS Health, AWS CloudFormation, Amazon CloudWatch, and more. For more information, see Using AWS Chatbot with other services in the AWS Chatbot Administrator Guide.

  • Custom events – You can also send your custom events, through Amazon SNS topics, to Amazon Chime, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. To do this, you publish custom events to an SNS topic, which delivers the events to a subscribed Lambda function. The Lambda function then uses the chat app's webhook to deliver the events to recipients.
