Amazon SQS
How to connect using the SQS system integration

Overview
Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a managed message queue service from AWS that can be used to pass messages between applications and services.
Couchdrop can send data to Amazon SQS from file actions and Automations. This allows file-based workflows to publish messages to an SQS queue without requiring custom integration middleware.
For example, a file can arrive in Couchdrop through SFTP, FTP, cloud storage, an API, or an inbound Webhook, and an Automation can then send data from that workflow to an SQS queue.
How Amazon SQS works with Couchdrop
Amazon SQS is configured in Couchdrop as a System Integration.
Unlike storage connections that appear as virtual folders, an SQS connection does not appear in the Couchdrop filesystem. Instead, the connection becomes available for use as a file action inside an Automation.
How to connect Amazon SQS
Before you start
To connect Amazon SQS to Couchdrop, you will need:
An existing Amazon SQS queue and its queue name
An AWS IAM Key
An AWS IAM Secret
The AWS region containing the queue
An IAM role with adequate access to Amazon SQS and the target queue
Using Amazon SQS in Automations
Once the System Integration has been created, Amazon SQS can be used as part of a Couchdrop Automation.
SQS does not provide a folder that you browse or transfer files into. Instead, an Automation uses the configured connection to publish data to the SQS queue as part of a workflow.
This lets you connect file-based activity in Couchdrop with applications and services that consume messages from Amazon SQS.
