Zapier AWS SNS to Slack Integration

The Simple Notification Service is one of several ways that Amazon can send messages out. There is no native integration with Slack. We are using Zapier to host the SNS to Slack integration. The following is a look at the integration parts and process to get it working.

As an alternative to Zapier for Slack integration, you can also use AWS’s Beta service, AWS Chatbot, but please be aware it is in beta, and you will not have ability to customize the message as much

It is, however, SOC2 compliant.

How to Create the SNS Notification

How to Create the Integration

You will need to go through the following Step by Step for the first time only. Feel free to use the same account that was already created (+Zapier AWS SNS to Slack Integration: IAM-Service-Account-for-Zapier ) if you are okay using the default limited access. Otherwise, you may need to create a new policy/account set to suit your needs

Log in to the AWS Account

Go to the IAM and create the IAM Service Account with programmatic access, and record the Access and Secret Key as per +Zapier AWS SNS to Slack Integration: IAM-Service-Account-for-Zapier

Create the Account Access policy, +Zapier AWS SNS to Slack Integration: Service-Account-Access-Policy: and attach it to a group, and add the account created in Step 2 to the group as a member
