AWS::Transfer::Workflow - AWS CloudFormation (original) (raw)

Allows you to create a workflow with specified steps and step details the workflow invokes after file transfer completes. After creating a workflow, you can associate the workflow created with any transfer servers by specifying the workflow-details field in CreateServer and UpdateServer operations.

Examples

• Create workflow from a file
• Create workflow from a template

Create workflow from a file

You can save workflow step information into a text file, and then use that file to create a workflow, as in the following example. The following example assumes you have saved your workflow steps into _example-file.json_ (in the same folder from where you run the command), and that you wish to create the workflow in the N. Virginia (us-east-1) region.

aws transfer create-workflow --description "example workflow from a file" --steps file://example-file.json --region us-east-1

Create workflow from a template

You can create a workflow from a template. First, open the CloudFormation console. Next, follow the instructions for deploying AWS CloudFormation stack from an existing template in Selecting a stack template in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

Save the following code to a file, and upload it to CloudFormation when prompted, making sure to replace items as follows:

• Replace your-workflow-execution-role-arn with the ARN for an actual workflow execution role.
• replace arn:${AWS::Partition}:lambda:${AWS::Region}:${AWS::AccountId}:function:my-function-name with the ARN for your Lambda function. For example, arn:aws:lambda:us-east-2:123456789012:function:example-lambda-idp.
