Example 1: To publish a message to a topic

The following publish example publishes the specified message to the specified SNS topic. The message comes from a text file, which enables you to include line breaks.

aws sns publish \
    --topic-arn "arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:my-topic" \
    --message file://message.txt

Contents of message.txt:

Hello World
Second Line

Output:

{
    "MessageId": "123a45b6-7890-12c3-45d6-111122223333"
}

Example 2: To publish an SMS message to a phone number

The following publish example publishes the message Hello world! to the phone number +1-555-555-0100.

aws sns publish \
    --message "Hello world!" \
    --phone-number +1-555-555-0100

Output:

{
    "MessageId": "123a45b6-7890-12c3-45d6-333322221111"
}
