Integration Guide: Amazon SQS

This is ideal if you're building server-less or decoupled systems and want to queue outbound messages to be sent via SMS.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

How it Works

Our integration listens to your Amazon SQS queue, processes messages, and sends them via ClickSend SMS. It’s a simple way to automate SMS delivery as part of your AWS infrastructure.

You can queue messages from your app, lambda functions, or any AWS service that supports SQS.

We’ve created a full tutorial with code and configuration instructions on GitHub:
