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.
Amazon SNS introduced FIFO topics in October, 2020. Currently, most Amazon services support receiving events from SNS standard topics only. Amazon SQS supports receiving events from both SNS standard and FIFO topics.

You can deliver both native Amazon events and custom events to chat apps:
-
Native Amazon events – You can use Amazon Chatbot to send native Amazon events, through Amazon SNS topics, to Amazon Chime and Slack. The supported set of native Amazon events includes events from Amazon Billing and Cost Management, Amazon Health, Amazon CloudFormation, Amazon CloudWatch, and more. For more information, see Using Amazon Chatbot with other services in the Amazon 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.
