Transforming Amazon SNS Messages for Slack Chime Webhooks

When integrating Amazon SNS with webhooks like Slack Chime, it's essential to ensure that the message body conforms to the expected JSON format. If you haven't done so already, create a unique SNS topic and explore the key-value pairs in the Amazon SNS message body JSON document.

To process the webhook endpoint, consider using an AWS Lambda function to transform the Amazon SNS message body JSON document. This is particularly important when working with webhooks like Slack and Microsoft Teams, which expect a JSON request with a 'text' key corresponding to a message string.

However, some webhooks may require additional key-value pairs that Amazon SNS doesn't support during HTTP or HTTPS subscription confirmation. For instance, Amazon Chime webhooks expect a JSON request with a 'Content' key instead of the standard 'text' key.

Fortunately, you can utilize Amazon SNS to send notification messages to HTTP or HTTPS endpoints, such as webhook URLs. By understanding these formatting differences and using AWS Lambda functions for transformation, you can successfully integrate your Amazon SNS topic with Slack Chime webhooks.
