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 10 months 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:
