SnsPublish

A Step Functions Task to publish messages to SNS topic.

Import

import { SnsPublish } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-stepfunctions-tasks';

Or use the module namespace:

import * as stepfunctions_tasks from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-stepfunctions-tasks';
// stepfunctions_tasks.SnsPublish

Properties

Configuration passed to the constructor as SnsPublishProps.

messageRequired
TaskInput

The message you want to send. With the exception of SMS, messages must be UTF-8 encoded strings and at most 256 KB in size. For SMS, each message can contain up to 140 characters.

topicRequired
ITopic

The SNS topic that the task will publish to.

messageAttributesOptional
{ [key: string]: MessageAttribute }

Add message attributes when publishing. These attributes carry additional metadata about the message and may be used for subscription filters.

Default: {}

messageDeduplicationIdOptional
string

This parameter applies only to FIFO topics. Every message must have a unique MessageDeduplicationId, which is a token used for deduplication of sent messages. If a message with a particular MessageDeduplicationId is sent successfully, any message sent with the same MessageDeduplicationId during the 5-minute deduplication interval is treated as a duplicate. If the topic has ContentBasedDeduplication set, the system generates a MessageDeduplicationId based on the contents of the message. Your MessageDeduplicationId overrides the generated one.

Default: - Not used for standard topics, required for FIFO topics with ContentBasedDeduplication disabled.

messageGroupIdOptional
string

This parameter applies only to FIFO topics. The MessageGroupId is a tag that specifies that a message belongs to a specific message group. Messages that belong to the same message group are processed in a FIFO manner (however, messages in different message groups might be processed out of order). Every message must include a MessageGroupId.

Default: - Not used for standard topics, required for FIFO topics.

messagePerSubscriptionTypeOptional
boolean

Send different messages for each transport protocol. For example, you might want to send a shorter message to SMS subscribers and a more verbose message to email and SQS subscribers. Your message must be a JSON object with a top-level JSON key of "default" with a value that is a string You can define other top-level keys that define the message you want to send to a specific transport protocol (i.e. "sqs", "email", "http", etc)

Default: false

subjectOptional
string

Used as the "Subject" line when the message is delivered to email endpoints. This field will also be included, if present, in the standard JSON messages delivered to other endpoints.

Default: - No subject

2 properties inherited from TaskStateBaseProps
resultPathOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseProps
string

JSONPath expression to indicate where to inject the state's output. May also be the special value JsonPath.DISCARD, which will cause the state's input to become its output.

Default: $

resultSelectorOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseProps
{ [key: string]: any }

The JSON that will replace the state's raw result and become the effective result before ResultPath is applied. You can use ResultSelector to create a payload with values that are static or selected from the state's raw result.

Default: - None

3 properties inherited from StateBaseProps
commentOptionalinherited from StateBaseProps
string

A comment describing this state.

Default: No comment

queryLanguageOptionalinherited from StateBaseProps
QueryLanguage

The name of the query language used by the state. If the state does not contain a `queryLanguage` field, then it will use the query language specified in the top-level `queryLanguage` field.

Default: - JSONPath

stateNameOptionalinherited from StateBaseProps
string

Optional name for this state.

Default: - The construct ID will be used as state name

6 properties inherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
credentialsOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
Credentials

Credentials for an IAM Role that the State Machine assumes for executing the task. This enables cross-account resource invocations.

Default: - None (Task is executed using the State Machine's execution role)

heartbeatOptionalDeprecatedinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
Duration

Timeout for the heartbeat.

Default: - None

Deprecated: use `heartbeatTimeout`

heartbeatTimeoutOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
Timeout

Timeout for the heartbeat. [disable-awslint:duration-prop-type] is needed because all props interface in aws-stepfunctions-tasks extend this interface

Default: - None

integrationPatternOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
IntegrationPattern

AWS Step Functions integrates with services directly in the Amazon States Language. You can control these AWS services using service integration patterns. Depending on the AWS Service, the Service Integration Pattern availability will vary.

Default: - `IntegrationPattern.REQUEST_RESPONSE` for most tasks. `IntegrationPattern.RUN_JOB` for the following exceptions: `BatchSubmitJob`, `EmrAddStep`, `EmrCreateCluster`, `EmrTerminationCluster`, and `EmrContainersStartJobRun`.

taskTimeoutOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
Timeout

Timeout for the task. [disable-awslint:duration-prop-type] is needed because all props interface in aws-stepfunctions-tasks extend this interface

Default: - None

timeoutOptionalDeprecatedinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
Duration

Timeout for the task.

Default: - None

Deprecated: use `taskTimeout`

1 property inherited from AssignableStateOptions
assignOptionalinherited from AssignableStateOptions
{ [key: string]: any }

Workflow variables to store in this step. Using workflow variables, you can store data in a step and retrieve that data in future steps.

Default: - Not assign variables

2 properties inherited from JsonPathCommonOptions
inputPathOptionalinherited from JsonPathCommonOptions
string

JSONPath expression to select part of the state to be the input to this state. May also be the special value JsonPath.DISCARD, which will cause the effective input to be the empty object {}.

Default: $

outputPathOptionalinherited from JsonPathCommonOptions
string

JSONPath expression to select part of the state to be the output to this state. May also be the special value JsonPath.DISCARD, which will cause the effective output to be the empty object {}.

Default: $

1 property inherited from JsonataCommonOptions
outputsOptionalinherited from JsonataCommonOptions
any

Used to specify and transform output from the state. When specified, the value overrides the state output default. The output field accepts any JSON value (object, array, string, number, boolean, null). Any string value, including those inside objects or arrays, will be evaluated as JSONata if surrounded by {% %} characters. Output also accepts a JSONata expression directly.

Default: - $states.result or $states.errorOutput
