# SNS2IFTTT

A sample [AWS Lambda](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/) function to push [Amazon SNS](https://aws.amazon.com/sns/) notifications to [IFTTT](https://ifttt.com) via the [Maker](https://ifttt.com/maker) channel.

Here's a few customizations of this project to better handle specific events via SNS:

- [CloudWatchAlarm2IFTTT](https://github.com/danilop/CloudWatchAlarm2IFTTT) for [Amazon CloudWatch](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/) alarms

- [AutoScaling2IFTTT](https://github.com/danilop/AutoScaling2IFTTT) for [EC2 Auto Scaling](https://aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/) notifications
