AWS SNS integration

AWS SNS pub/sub messaging

AWS SNS (Simple Notification Service) is the AWS-managed pub/sub messaging service — publishers post to topics, subscribers (HTTP endpoints, Lambda functions, SQS queues, email, SMS, mobile push) receive copies. Tiny Command surfaces one trigger (SNS Notification — fires when an SNS topic the connected workflow is subscribed to receives a message) plus one action (Publish Message — push a message into an SNS topic). The connection uses AWS IAM credentials with sns:Publish and sns:Subscribe permissions plus the region. The SNS Notification trigger requires the workflow's webhook URL to be subscribed to the topic (Tiny Command handles the subscription confirmation handshake automatically). The typical pattern: an AWS service (CloudWatch alarm, Lambda, S3 event) publishes to an SNS topic; the workflow subscribes and reacts. Or Tiny Command publishes to SNS to fan out a workflow event to multiple downstream consumers (Lambda + SQS queue + email).

Triggers

Workflows start when AWS SNS does.

1 real-time trigger, each backed by a webhook subscription. Events arrive within seconds and you don't have to set up polling.

When sns notification

Fires when a message is published to an SNS topic the workflow's webhook is subscribed to. The subscription confirmation handshake is handled automatically at trigger setup. The base hook for cross-service event reaction — CloudWatch alarms, S3 events, application events all reach this trigger via SNS.

Actions

Do anything AWS SNS can do, from a workflow.

Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.

Action	What it does	Inputs	Open action
Publish SNS Message	Pushes a message into an SNS topic with optional message attributes. SNS fans out to every subscriber (HTTP endpoints, Lambdas, SQS queues, email, SMS) — clean decoupling pattern when one event needs to reach N downstream consumers.	3 inputs	View

Before you build

Three things worth knowing.

Filter at the trigger

Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Authorize once, reuse anywhere

Connect AWS SNS once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.

No JSON to read

Every AWS SNS field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.

FAQ

Questions about the AWS SNS integration.

If we missed yours, ping support. We usually reply within an hour.

How do I connect AWS SNS to Tiny Command?

Open the Tiny Command workflow builder, drop in a AWS SNS node, and click Connect. Authorize AWS SNS once and any workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. Most teams finish the connection in under two minutes.

What AWS SNS triggers does Tiny Command support?

Tiny Command supports 1 real-time AWS SNS trigger, including "SNS Notification". Each trigger fires within seconds of the event happening in AWS SNS.

What AWS SNS actions can I run from a workflow?

1 AWS SNS action are available out of the box, covering communication operations like "Publish SNS Message". Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's a search result, an AI output, or a form field.

Is the AWS SNS integration real-time?

Yes. SNS Notification and every other AWS SNS trigger uses webhooks or push subscriptions, so workflows fire within seconds of the event in AWS SNS rather than on a polling schedule.

Do I need to write code to use AWS SNS with Tiny Command?

No. Every AWS SNS trigger and action is fully configurable from the visual workflow builder. For edge cases that aren't covered, drop in a custom HTTP node and call any AWS SNS API endpoint directly.

How much does the AWS SNS integration cost?

There's a free tier you can start on without a credit card. Higher run volumes and team features come with paid plans. The AWS SNS integration itself has no per-app surcharge.
