How AWS SNS Trigger Works
Seamlessly Converting Notifications into Automated Actions
Technical Implementation Made Simple
The AWS SNS Trigger creates an HTTP endpoint in n8n that receives messages published to SNS topics:
- Subscription Setup: Configure an AWS SNS topic to deliver messages to your n8n endpoint
- Event Reception: The n8n workflow automatically starts when an SNS notification arrives
- Data Processing: Extract valuable information from the notification payload
- Workflow Execution: Trigger subsequent automated actions based on the event data
- Cross-Platform Integration: Connect the AWS event with other services like Slack, email, CRM systems, or databases
This integration handles subscription confirmation automatically and provides a secure, reliable way to process AWS notifications without additional infrastructure.
