Automatically confirm known Amazon Cognito users with a Lambda function using an AWS SDK - Amazon Cognito

Automatically confirm known Amazon Cognito users with a Lambda function using an AWS SDK

The following code examples show how to automatically confirm known Amazon Cognito users with a Lambda function.

  • Configure a user pool to call a Lambda function for the PreSignUp trigger.

  • Sign up a user with Amazon Cognito.

  • The Lambda function scans a DynamoDB table and automatically confirms known users.

  • Sign in as the new user, then clean up resources.
