Can AWS Lambda and Workato work together for event-driven automation?

[georgekevin]

Hey everyone,

I’m currently preparing for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate exam and was going through some SAA-C03 sample questions on CertBoosters practice test. One of the questions described an event-driven application where data uploaded to an S3 bucket needed to automatically trigger downstream processing and it got me thinking….

Instead of coding this entirely with AWS Lambda and Step Functions, could a low-code platform like Workato be integrated into this flow?

For example:

• An object is uploaded to S3
• A Workato recipe triggers via AWS Lambda or an API Gateway event
• Workato handles notifications, data transformation, or even updating a CRM

Has anyone here built something like this in a real-world setup combining AWS Lambda (or SNS/SQS) with Workato for event-based automation? If so, how did you handle authentication and latency between the services? Would love to hear from someone who approached this kind of integration.

Hi @georgekevin,

Based on my experience, I have integrated AWS data with Workato using Lambda functions via Webhooks. I configured the Webhook URL in the script so that whenever an event occurs, the data is pushed to Workato through the Webhook. If you have any further concerns, we can discuss them.

Thank you...!
