How can I use Workato to post notifications to a topic on AWS Simple Notification Service (SNS)?

I am currently trying to integrate Workato with some of my other Apps on AWS using AWS Simple Notification Service (SNS). I see that within Workato, you have an AWS Lambda connector which can be used to invoke AWS Lambda functions. Would it be possible for me to use this connector to invoke a AWS Lambda function that creates an SNS notification?

Hi Saul, this is indeed possible to achieve. In fact, I have a recipe at https://www.workato.com/recipes/626721-aws-lambda-sns-topic which does just this.

Please follow the steps below to implement the Lambda function in AWS and the recipe in Workato.

Create your AWS Lambda function

AWS Lambda function code (Python):

from __future__ import print_function

import json
import urllib
import boto3

print('Loading message function...')


def send_to_sns(message, context):
    print("New message from Workato: " + str(message['body']))
    sns = boto3.client('sns')
    sns.publish(
        TopicArn=message['topic'],
        Subject=message['subject'],
        Message=message['body']
    )

    return ('Sent to SNS Topic: ' + str(message['body']))

Create your Workato Recipe with the AWS Lambda action. You will need to configure your function input/response which should correspond to the data format of the input/response of your Lambda function.
