Amazon SNS event destinations
This page lists all destinations that can receive information on events, grouped by application-to-application (A2A) messaging and application-to-person (A2P) notifications.
Note
Amazon SNS introduced FIFO topics in October, 2020. Currently, most AWS services support receiving events from SNS standard topics only. Amazon SQS supports receiving events from both SNS standard and FIFO topics.
A2A destinations
The following table describes how Amazon SNS can deliver events to various application-to-application (A2A) destinations such as Amazon Data Firehose, Lambda, Amazon SQS, AWS Event Fork Pipelines, and HTTP/S endpoints.
These integrations allow you to archive and analyze data, trigger custom business logic, facilitate application integration, and route events to external webhooks, enhancing the efficiency and flexibility of event-driven architectures.

Deliver events to delivery streams for archiving and analysis purposes. Through delivery streams, you can deliver events to AWS destinations like Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Redshift, and Amazon OpenSearch Service (OpenSearch Service), or to third-party destinations such as Datadog, New Relic, MongoDB, and Splunk. For more information, see Fanout to Firehose delivery streams. |

HTTP/S |
Deliver events to external webhooks. For more information, see Fanout Amazon SNS notifications to HTTPS endpoints. |
A2P destinations
The following table describes how Amazon SNS delivers application-to-person (A2P) notifications to various destinations, including mobile phones via SMS and native push notifications, email inboxes, Amazon Chime chat rooms, Slack channels, and operational insights to on-call teams via PagerDuty.
These integrations enhance communication and operational efficiency by enabling real-time alerts and updates across multiple platforms and communication channels.

Note
You can deliver both native AWS events and custom events to chat apps:
-
Native AWS events – You can use AWS Chatbot to send native AWS events, through Amazon SNS topics, to Amazon Chime and Slack. The supported set of native AWS events includes events from AWS Billing and Cost Management, AWS Health, AWS CloudFormation, Amazon CloudWatch, and more. For more information, see Using AWS Chatbot with other services in the AWS Chatbot Administrator Guide.
-
Custom events – You can also send your custom events, through Amazon SNS topics, to Amazon Chime, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. To do this, you publish custom events to an SNS topic, which delivers the events to a subscribed Lambda function. The Lambda function then uses the chat app's webhook to deliver the events to recipients. For more information, see How do I use webhooks to publish Amazon SNS messages to Amazon Chime, Slack, or Microsoft Teams?
