# Enabling Amazon EventBridge
<a name="enable-event-notifications-eventbridge"></a>

You can enable Amazon EventBridge by using the S3 console, Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI), or Amazon S3 REST API. 

**Note**  
After you enable EventBridge, it takes around five minutes for the changes to take effect.

## Using the S3 console

**To enable EventBridge event delivery in the S3 console.**

1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at [https://console.amazonaws.cn/s3/](https://console.amazonaws.cn/s3/).

1. In the left navigation pane, choose **General purpose buckets**.

1. In the buckets list, choose the name of the bucket that you want to enable events for.

1. Choose **Properties**.

1. Navigate to the **Event Notifications** section and find the **Amazon EventBridge** subsection. Choose **Edit**.

1. Under** Send notifications to Amazon EventBridge for all events in this bucket** choose **On**.

## Using the Amazon CLI

The following example creates a bucket notification configuration for bucket *`amzn-s3-demo-bucket1`* with Amazon EventBridge enabled.

```
aws s3api put-bucket-notification-configuration --bucket amzn-s3-demo-bucket1 --notification-configuration='{ "EventBridgeConfiguration": {} }'
```

## Using the REST API

You can programmatically enable Amazon EventBridge on a bucket by calling the Amazon S3 REST API. For more information, see [https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_PutBucketNotificationConfiguration.html](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_PutBucketNotificationConfiguration.html) in the *Amazon Simple Storage Service API Reference*.

The following example shows the XML used to create a bucket notification configuration with Amazon EventBridge enabled.

```
<NotificationConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
  <EventBridgeConfiguration>
  </EventBridgeConfiguration>
</NotificationConfiguration>
```

Once enabled you can create Amazon EventBridge rules for certain tasks. For example, you can send email notifications when an object is created. For a full tutorial, see [Tutorial: Send a notification when an Amazon S3 object is created](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-s3-object-created-tutorial.html) in the *Amazon EventBridge User Guide*.
