Tutorial: Create or configure an Amazon Simple Notification Service topic as a notification target for Microsoft Teams and AWS CodeStar

The notifications feature in the Developer Tools console is a notifications manager for subscribing to events in AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodeCommit, AWS CodeDeploy, and AWS CodePipeline. It has its own API, AWS CodeStar. Notification rule targets defined within AWS CodeStar are currently Amazon SNS topics or AWS Chatbot clients configured for Slack channels, but not AWS Chatbot clients configured for Microsoft Teams. However, to receive notifications about resources of interest in Microsoft Teams, you can use an Amazon SNS topic as a target in both your Microsoft Teams channel configuration and your AWS CodeStar notification rules. This tutorial describes two methods to achieve this:

Prerequisites

This tutorial assumes you already have some familiarity with Amazon SNS topics, AWS CodeStar, and AWS Chatbot. It also assumes that you've already created at least one notification rule in AWS CodeStar and that you've configured at least one AWS Chatbot client for Microsoft Teams.

Step 1: Configure or create an Amazon SNS topic

Configure an existing Amazon SNS topic to use as a notification target

In this procedure you edit an existing Amazon SNS topic used in your Microsoft Teams channel configuration to be used as a notification rule target in AWS CodeStar.

  6. Follow the steps in To configure an Amazon Simple Notification Service topic to use as a target for AWS CodeStar notification rules in the Developer Tools User Guide.

  7. The Amazon SNS topic is now associated with both AWS CodeStar and your chosen Microsoft Teams channel configuration.

Create a new Amazon SNS topic as a target by editing notification rules

In this procedure you create a new Amazon SNS topic by editing an existing notification rule. You then use this Amazon SNS topic in your Microsoft Teams channel configuration.

To create a new Amazon SNS topic to use as a notification rule target

  1. Edit your notification rule:

    Note

    The Region in which this notification rule is created must be added as a notification Region in your Microsoft Teams configuration.

    1. Open the Developer Tools console.

    2. In the navigation pane, choose Settings and then choose Notification rules.

    3. Select the appropriate rule and choose Edit.

    4. In Targets, choose Create target.

    5. Choose Amazon SNS topic as your target type.

    6. Enter a topic name.

      Note

      This topic will be used in your Microsoft Teams configuration.

  2. Edit your Microsoft Teams configuration:

    1. Open the AWS Chatbot console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/chatbot/.

    2. Select your configured Microsoft Teams chat client.

    3. Select the channel in which you want to receive notifications.

    4. Choose Edit.

    5. (Optional) If you have no Regions or you don't currently have the Region you used for Developer Tools added, choose Add another Region in Notifications and select the appropriate Region.

    6. In Topics, search for and select the Amazon SNS topic you created while editing your notification rule.
