Overview
Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.
Service Description
Step Functions coordinates the components of distributed applications and microservices using visual workflows.
You can use Step Functions to build applications from individual components, each of which performs a discrete function, or task, allowing you to scale and change applications quickly. Step Functions provides a console that helps visualize the components of your application as a series of steps. Step Functions automatically triggers and tracks each step, and retries steps when there are errors, so your application executes predictably and in the right order every time. Step Functions logs the state of each step, so you can quickly diagnose and debug any issues.
Step Functions manages operations and underlying infrastructure to ensure your application is available at any scale. You can run tasks on Amazon Web Services, your own servers, or any system that has access to Amazon Web Services. You can access and use Step Functions using the console, the Amazon Web Services SDKs, or an HTTP API. For more information about Step Functions, see the Step Functions Developer Guide .
If you use the Step Functions API actions using Amazon Web Services SDK integrations, make sure the API actions are in camel case and parameter names are in Pascal case. For example, you could use Step Functions API action startSyncExecution
and specify its parameter as StateMachineArn
.
Sending a Request Using StepFunctions
var stepfunctions = new AWS.StepFunctions();
stepfunctions.createActivity(params, function (err, data) {
if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
else console.log(data); // successful response
});
Locking the API Version
In order to ensure that the StepFunctions object uses this specific API, you can
construct the object by passing the apiVersion
option to the constructor:
var stepfunctions = new AWS.StepFunctions({apiVersion: '2016-11-23'});
You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions
using
the stepfunctions service identifier:
AWS.config.apiVersions = {
stepfunctions: '2016-11-23',
// other service API versions
};
var stepfunctions = new AWS.StepFunctions();

Property Details
Method Details
createActivity(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Creates an activity. An activity is a task that you write in any programming language and host on any machine that has access to Step Functions. Activities must poll Step Functions using the
GetActivityTask
API action and respond usingSendTask*
API actions. This function lets Step Functions know the existence of your activity and returns an identifier for use in a state machine and when polling from the activity.Note: This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.Note:CreateActivity
is an idempotent API. Subsequent requests won’t create a duplicate resource if it was already created.CreateActivity
's idempotency check is based on the activityname
. If a following request has differenttags
values, Step Functions will ignore these differences and treat it as an idempotent request of the previous. In this case,tags
will not be updated, even if they are different.createStateMachine(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Creates a state machine. A state machine consists of a collection of states that can do work (
Task
states), determine to which states to transition next (Choice
states), stop an execution with an error (Fail
states), and so on. State machines are specified using a JSON-based, structured language. For more information, see Amazon States Language in the Step Functions User Guide.If you set the
publish
parameter of this API action totrue
, it publishes version1
as the first revision of the state machine.For additional control over security, you can encrypt your data using a customer-managed key for Step Functions state machines. You can configure a symmetric KMS key and data key reuse period when creating or updating a State Machine. The execution history and state machine definition will be encrypted with the key applied to the State Machine.
Note: This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.Note:CreateStateMachine
is an idempotent API. Subsequent requests won’t create a duplicate resource if it was already created.CreateStateMachine
's idempotency check is based on the state machinename
,definition
,type
,LoggingConfiguration
,TracingConfiguration
, andEncryptionConfiguration
The check is also based on thepublish
andversionDescription
parameters. If a following request has a differentroleArn
ortags
, Step Functions will ignore these differences and treat it as an idempotent request of the previous. In this case,roleArn
andtags
will not be updated, even if they are different.createStateMachineAlias(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Creates an alias for a state machine that points to one or two versions of the same state machine. You can set your application to call StartExecution with an alias and update the version the alias uses without changing the client's code.
You can also map an alias to split StartExecution requests between two versions of a state machine. To do this, add a second
RoutingConfig
object in theroutingConfiguration
parameter. You must also specify the percentage of execution run requests each version should receive in bothRoutingConfig
objects. Step Functions randomly chooses which version runs a given execution based on the percentage you specify.To create an alias that points to a single version, specify a single
RoutingConfig
object with aweight
set to 100.You can create up to 100 aliases for each state machine. You must delete unused aliases using the DeleteStateMachineAlias API action.
CreateStateMachineAlias
is an idempotent API. Step Functions bases the idempotency check on thestateMachineArn
,description
,name
, androutingConfiguration
parameters. Requests that contain the same values for these parameters return a successful idempotent response without creating a duplicate resource.Related operations:
deleteStateMachine(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Deletes a state machine. This is an asynchronous operation. It sets the state machine's status to
DELETING
and begins the deletion process. A state machine is deleted only when all its executions are completed. On the next state transition, the state machine's executions are terminated.A qualified state machine ARN can either refer to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine, a version ARN, or an alias ARN.
The following are some examples of qualified and unqualified state machine ARNs:
-
The following qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state with a label
mapStateLabel
in a state machine namedmyStateMachine
.arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine/mapStateLabel
Note: If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a Distributed Map state, the request fails withValidationException
. -
The following unqualified state machine ARN refers to a state machine named
myStateMachine
.arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine
This API action also deletes all versions and aliases associated with a state machine.
Note: ForEXPRESS
state machines, the deletion happens eventually (usually in less than a minute). Running executions may emit logs afterDeleteStateMachine
API is called.deleteStateMachineAlias(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Deletes a state machine alias.
After you delete a state machine alias, you can't use it to start executions. When you delete a state machine alias, Step Functions doesn't delete the state machine versions that alias references.
Related operations:
deleteStateMachineVersion(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Deletes a state machine version. After you delete a version, you can't call StartExecution using that version's ARN or use the version with a state machine alias.
Note: Deleting a state machine version won't terminate its in-progress executions.Note: You can't delete a state machine version currently referenced by one or more aliases. Before you delete a version, you must either delete the aliases or update them to point to another state machine version.Related operations:
describeActivity(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Describes an activity.
Note: This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.describeExecution(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Provides information about a state machine execution, such as the state machine associated with the execution, the execution input and output, and relevant execution metadata. If you've redriven an execution, you can use this API action to return information about the redrives of that execution. In addition, you can use this API action to return the Map Run Amazon Resource Name (ARN) if the execution was dispatched by a Map Run.
If you specify a version or alias ARN when you call the StartExecution API action,
DescribeExecution
returns that ARN.Note: This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.Executions of an
EXPRESS
state machine aren't supported byDescribeExecution
unless a Map Run dispatched them.describeMapRun(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Provides information about a Map Run's configuration, progress, and results. If you've redriven a Map Run, this API action also returns information about the redrives of that Map Run. For more information, see Examining Map Run in the Step Functions Developer Guide.
describeStateMachine(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Provides information about a state machine's definition, its IAM role Amazon Resource Name (ARN), and configuration.
A qualified state machine ARN can either refer to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine, a version ARN, or an alias ARN.
The following are some examples of qualified and unqualified state machine ARNs:
-
The following qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state with a label
mapStateLabel
in a state machine namedmyStateMachine
.arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine/mapStateLabel
Note: If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a Distributed Map state, the request fails withValidationException
. -
The following qualified state machine ARN refers to an alias named
PROD
.arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine:PROD>
Note: If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a version ARN or an alias ARN, the request starts execution for that version or alias. -
The following unqualified state machine ARN refers to a state machine named
myStateMachine
.arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine>
This API action returns the details for a state machine version if the
stateMachineArn
you specify is a state machine version ARN.Note: This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.describeStateMachineAlias(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
describeStateMachineForExecution(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Provides information about a state machine's definition, its execution role ARN, and configuration. If a Map Run dispatched the execution, this action returns the Map Run Amazon Resource Name (ARN) in the response. The state machine returned is the state machine associated with the Map Run.
Note: This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.This API action is not supported by
EXPRESS
state machines.getActivityTask(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Used by workers to retrieve a task (with the specified activity ARN) which has been scheduled for execution by a running state machine. This initiates a long poll, where the service holds the HTTP connection open and responds as soon as a task becomes available (i.e. an execution of a task of this type is needed.) The maximum time the service holds on to the request before responding is 60 seconds. If no task is available within 60 seconds, the poll returns a
taskToken
with a null string.Note: This API action isn't logged in CloudTrail.Workers should set their client side socket timeout to at least 65 seconds (5 seconds higher than the maximum time the service may hold the poll request).
Polling with
GetActivityTask
can cause latency in some implementations. See Avoid Latency When Polling for Activity Tasks in the Step Functions Developer Guide.getExecutionHistory(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Returns the history of the specified execution as a list of events. By default, the results are returned in ascending order of the
timeStamp
of the events. Use thereverseOrder
parameter to get the latest events first.If
nextToken
is returned, there are more results available. The value ofnextToken
is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours. Using an expired pagination token will return an HTTP 400 InvalidToken error.This API action is not supported by
EXPRESS
state machines.listActivities(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Lists the existing activities.
If
nextToken
is returned, there are more results available. The value ofnextToken
is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours. Using an expired pagination token will return an HTTP 400 InvalidToken error.Note: This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.listExecutions(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Lists all executions of a state machine or a Map Run. You can list all executions related to a state machine by specifying a state machine Amazon Resource Name (ARN), or those related to a Map Run by specifying a Map Run ARN. Using this API action, you can also list all redriven executions.
You can also provide a state machine alias ARN or version ARN to list the executions associated with a specific alias or version.
Results are sorted by time, with the most recent execution first.
If
nextToken
is returned, there are more results available. The value ofnextToken
is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours. Using an expired pagination token will return an HTTP 400 InvalidToken error.Note: This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.This API action is not supported by
EXPRESS
state machines.listMapRuns(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Lists all Map Runs that were started by a given state machine execution. Use this API action to obtain Map Run ARNs, and then call
DescribeMapRun
to obtain more information, if needed.listStateMachineAliases(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Lists aliases for a specified state machine ARN. Results are sorted by time, with the most recently created aliases listed first.
To list aliases that reference a state machine version, you can specify the version ARN in the
stateMachineArn
parameter.If
nextToken
is returned, there are more results available. The value ofnextToken
is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours. Using an expired pagination token will return an HTTP 400 InvalidToken error.Related operations:
listStateMachines(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Lists the existing state machines.
If
nextToken
is returned, there are more results available. The value ofnextToken
is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours.

The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.listStateMachineVersions(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Lists versions for the specified state machine Amazon Resource Name (ARN).
The results are sorted in descending order of the version creation time.
If
nextToken
is returned, there are more results available. The value ofnextToken
is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours. Using an expired pagination token will return an HTTP 400 InvalidToken error.Related operations:
listTagsForResource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
List tags for a given resource.
Tags may only contain Unicode letters, digits, white space, or these symbols:
_ . : / = + - @
.publishStateMachineVersion(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Creates a version from the current revision of a state machine. Use versions to create immutable snapshots of your state machine. You can start executions from versions either directly or with an alias. To create an alias, use CreateStateMachineAlias.
You can publish up to 1000 versions for each state machine. You must manually delete unused versions using the DeleteStateMachineVersion API action.
PublishStateMachineVersion
is an idempotent API. It doesn't create a duplicate state machine version if it already exists for the current revision. Step Functions basesPublishStateMachineVersion
's idempotency check on thestateMachineArn
,name
, andrevisionId
parameters. Requests with the same parameters return a successful idempotent response. If you don't specify arevisionId
, Step Functions checks for a previously published version of the state machine's current revision.Related operations:
redriveExecution(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Restarts unsuccessful executions of Standard workflows that didn't complete successfully in the last 14 days. These include failed, aborted, or timed out executions. When you redrive an execution, it continues the failed execution from the unsuccessful step and uses the same input. Step Functions preserves the results and execution history of the successful steps, and doesn't rerun these steps when you redrive an execution. Redriven executions use the same state machine definition and execution ARN as the original execution attempt.
For workflows that include an Inline Map or Parallel state,
RedriveExecution
API action reschedules and redrives only the iterations and branches that failed or aborted.To redrive a workflow that includes a Distributed Map state whose Map Run failed, you must redrive the parent workflow. The parent workflow redrives all the unsuccessful states, including a failed Map Run. If a Map Run was not started in the original execution attempt, the redriven parent workflow starts the Map Run.
Note: This API action is not supported byEXPRESS
state machines. However, you can restart the unsuccessful executions of Express child workflows in a Distributed Map by redriving its Map Run. When you redrive a Map Run, the Express child workflows are rerun using the StartExecution API action. For more information, see Redriving Map Runs.You can redrive executions if your original execution meets the following conditions:
-
The execution status isn't
SUCCEEDED
. -
Your workflow execution has not exceeded the redrivable period of 14 days. Redrivable period refers to the time during which you can redrive a given execution. This period starts from the day a state machine completes its execution.
-
The workflow execution has not exceeded the maximum open time of one year. For more information about state machine quotas, see Quotas related to state machine executions.
-
The execution event history count is less than 24,999. Redriven executions append their event history to the existing event history. Make sure your workflow execution contains less than 24,999 events to accommodate the
ExecutionRedriven
history event and at least one other history event.
sendTaskFailure(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Used by activity workers, Task states using the callback pattern, and optionally Task states using the job run pattern to report that the task identified by the
taskToken
failed.For an execution with encryption enabled, Step Functions will encrypt the error and cause fields using the KMS key for the execution role.
A caller can mark a task as fail without using any KMS permissions in the execution role if the caller provides a null value for both
error
andcause
fields because no data needs to be encrypted.sendTaskHeartbeat(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Used by activity workers and Task states using the callback pattern, and optionally Task states using the job run pattern to report to Step Functions that the task represented by the specified
taskToken
is still making progress. This action resets theHeartbeat
clock. TheHeartbeat
threshold is specified in the state machine's Amazon States Language definition (HeartbeatSeconds
). This action does not in itself create an event in the execution history. However, if the task times out, the execution history contains anActivityTimedOut
entry for activities, or aTaskTimedOut
entry for tasks using the job run or callback pattern.Note: TheTimeout
of a task, defined in the state machine's Amazon States Language definition, is its maximum allowed duration, regardless of the number of SendTaskHeartbeat requests received. UseHeartbeatSeconds
to configure the timeout interval for heartbeats.startExecution(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Starts a state machine execution.
A qualified state machine ARN can either refer to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine, a version ARN, or an alias ARN.
The following are some examples of qualified and unqualified state machine ARNs:
-
The following qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state with a label
mapStateLabel
in a state machine namedmyStateMachine
.arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine/mapStateLabel
Note: If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a Distributed Map state, the request fails withValidationException
. -
The following qualified state machine ARN refers to an alias named
PROD
.arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine:PROD>
Note: If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a version ARN or an alias ARN, the request starts execution for that version or alias. -
The following unqualified state machine ARN refers to a state machine named
myStateMachine
.arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine>
If you start an execution with an unqualified state machine ARN, Step Functions uses the latest revision of the state machine for the execution.
To start executions of a state machine version, call
StartExecution
and provide the version ARN or the ARN of an alias that points to the version.Note:StartExecution
is idempotent forSTANDARD
workflows. For aSTANDARD
workflow, if you callStartExecution
with the same name and input as a running execution, the call succeeds and return the same response as the original request. If the execution is closed or if the input is different, it returns a400 ExecutionAlreadyExists
error. You can reuse names after 90 days.StartExecution
isn't idempotent forEXPRESS
workflows.startSyncExecution(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Starts a Synchronous Express state machine execution.
StartSyncExecution
is not available forSTANDARD
workflows.Note:StartSyncExecution
will return a200 OK
response, even if your execution fails, because the status code in the API response doesn't reflect function errors. Error codes are reserved for errors that prevent your execution from running, such as permissions errors, limit errors, or issues with your state machine code and configuration.Note: This API action isn't logged in CloudTrail.stopExecution(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Stops an execution.
This API action is not supported by
EXPRESS
state machines.For an execution with encryption enabled, Step Functions will encrypt the error and cause fields using the KMS key for the execution role.
A caller can stop an execution without using any KMS permissions in the execution role if the caller provides a null value for both
error
andcause
fields because no data needs to be encrypted.tagResource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Add a tag to a Step Functions resource.
An array of key-value pairs. For more information, see Using Cost Allocation Tags in the Amazon Web Services Billing and Cost Management User Guide, and Controlling Access Using IAM Tags.
Tags may only contain Unicode letters, digits, white space, or these symbols:
_ . : / = + - @
.testState(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Accepts the definition of a single state and executes it. You can test a state without creating a state machine or updating an existing state machine. Using this API, you can test the following:
-
A state's input and output processing data flow
-
An Amazon Web Services service integration request and response
-
An HTTP Task request and response
You can call this API on only one state at a time. The states that you can test include the following:
The
TestState
API assumes an IAM role which must contain the required IAM permissions for the resources your state is accessing. For information about the permissions a state might need, see IAM permissions to test a state.The
TestState
API can run for up to five minutes. If the execution of a state exceeds this duration, it fails with theStates.Timeout
error.TestState
doesn't support Activity tasks,.sync
or.waitForTaskToken
service integration patterns, Parallel, or Map states.updateMapRun(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Updates an in-progress Map Run's configuration to include changes to the settings that control maximum concurrency and Map Run failure.
updateStateMachine(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Updates an existing state machine by modifying its
definition
,roleArn
,loggingConfiguration
, orEncryptionConfiguration
. Running executions will continue to use the previousdefinition
androleArn
. You must include at least one ofdefinition
orroleArn
or you will receive aMissingRequiredParameter
error.A qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine. For example, the qualified state machine ARN
arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:stateMachineName/mapStateLabel
refers to a Distributed Map state with a labelmapStateLabel
in the state machine namedstateMachineName
.A qualified state machine ARN can either refer to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine, a version ARN, or an alias ARN.
The following are some examples of qualified and unqualified state machine ARNs:
-
The following qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state with a label
mapStateLabel
in a state machine namedmyStateMachine
.arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine/mapStateLabel
Note: If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a Distributed Map state, the request fails withValidationException
. -
The following qualified state machine ARN refers to an alias named
PROD
.arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine:PROD>
Note: If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a version ARN or an alias ARN, the request starts execution for that version or alias. -
The following unqualified state machine ARN refers to a state machine named
myStateMachine
.arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine>
After you update your state machine, you can set the
publish
parameter totrue
in the same action to publish a new version. This way, you can opt-in to strict versioning of your state machine.Note: Step Functions assigns monotonically increasing integers for state machine versions, starting at version number 1.Note: AllStartExecution
calls within a few seconds use the updateddefinition
androleArn
. Executions started immediately after you callUpdateStateMachine
may use the previous state machinedefinition
androleArn
.updateStateMachineAlias(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Updates the configuration of an existing state machine alias by modifying its
description
orroutingConfiguration
.You must specify at least one of the
description
orroutingConfiguration
parameters to update a state machine alias.Note:UpdateStateMachineAlias
is an idempotent API. Step Functions bases the idempotency check on thestateMachineAliasArn
,description
, androutingConfiguration
parameters. Requests with the same parameters return an idempotent response.Note: This operation is eventually consistent. All StartExecution requests made within a few seconds use the latest alias configuration. Executions started immediately after callingUpdateStateMachineAlias
may use the previous routing configuration.Related operations:
validateStateMachineDefinition(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Validates the syntax of a state machine definition.
You can validate that a state machine definition is correct without creating a state machine resource. Step Functions will implicitly perform the same syntax check when you invoke
CreateStateMachine
andUpdateStateMachine
. State machine definitions are specified using a JSON-based, structured language. For more information on Amazon States Language see Amazon States Language (ASL).Suggested uses for
ValidateStateMachineDefinition
:-
Integrate automated checks into your code review or Continuous Integration (CI) process to validate state machine definitions before starting deployments.
-
Run the validation from a Git pre-commit hook to check your state machine definitions before committing them to your source repository.
Note: Errors found in the state machine definition will be returned in the response as a list of diagnostic elements, rather than raise an exception. - validateStateMachineDefinition(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
