Integrate with Outgoing Amazon SNS
This article highlights a new alerting feature that's natively available in Jira Service Management which is gradually rolling out to some Jira Service Management Cloud customers. It may not yet be visible or available on your site.
Amazon SNS makes it simple and cost-effective to push notifications to Apple, Google, Fire OS, and Windows devices, as well as Android devices in China with Baidu Cloud Push.
What does the integration offer?
When an alert is created, acknowledged, or closed etc., Jira Service Management sends messages to an SNS topic and SNS delivers these messages to the subscribers of that topic to notify them. The subscribers of a topic are chosen as one of the following options: Sending email or SMS, invoking AWS Lambda function, or sending an HTTP request.
