Amazon SNS + Typeform Integrations

In this article, I will be explaining how to integrate Amazon SNS (Simple Notification Service. and Typeform. I chose these two applications to build an integration with because they are both subscription services and have decent applications in the tech world. SNS is a notification service that allows you to send out notifications to subscribers whenever there is a new development on your site or product. Typeform is a survey application that allows you to collect information from users and create detailed questionnaires. With the integration of these two services, there are many unique possibilities for web developers.

First, what is Amazon SNS? SNS is one of the many AWS services that Amazon provides. SNS allows users to build notifications for their apps and websites and send them out to subscribers via email, SMS, or any other method within the SNS system. The SNS system has many different options for sending out notifications, allowing you to customize the message to your needs. You can also customize the frequency of the notifications that you are sending out. For example, you can build a notification and set it so that it sends out five notifications per week. These notifications can be sent out at any time of day or night, depending on the needs of the user. To build an integration between Amazon SNS and Typeform, you first need to sign up for Amazon SNS. On the website, click “Create New Topic” on the top right hand corner. Then log into your AWS account with your sign-in information and click on the topic name. Then click “Create Subscription” and select “Email Notifications” as the delivery method. Next, you can go back to your topic name and click “Create Subscription” again to customize the notification. In this step, you can customize the subject line of your notification, what text will appear in the body of your notification, and what format will be used for the text. After that, you can create a “SNS Topic” in Typeform. In your Typeform account, click on “buttons” on the top left hand corner of your dashboard by your profile picture. Then click on “SNS” on the right side of your screen in the “Buttons” category. In the next step, you will be asked what type of action you would like to create. Select “Send a message”. Once that is done, you should see a box appear below asking you to enter in the URL for an API call to send a message to SNS. Paste in the URL into that box http://sns.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/1234567890otification?Action=SendMessage&MessageBody=Testing%20from%20Typeform&Source=typeform&Token=YourTokenHere! . For the token, grab it from your topic information in SNS and replace “YourTokenHere!” with it. Now you should have an integration between Typeform and Amazon SNS! Anytime someone completes a form through Typeform and clicks “Send Message”, they will automatically be added to a subscription list in SNS for that topic!

Amazon SNS and Typeform are great tools for web developers who want to add a little more functionality to their sites. By integrating SNS with Typeform, web developers now have many more possibilities for their subscriptions services and survey applications. Even though this integration uses Amazon SNS and Typeform, there are many other applications that could be integrated with this process. This is just one of many possible integrations that could be created using Amazon SNS and any other application that has an API call available for sending messages or subscriptions to SNS!
