Event destinations in AWS End User Messaging
An event destination is a location (such as a CloudWatch Group, a Amazon Data Firehose stream, or an Amazon SNS topic) that SMS and voice events are sent to. To use event destinations, you first create the destination, and then associate it with a Configuration sets. You can associate up to five event destinations with a single configuration set. When you send a message, your call to the API includes a reference to the configuration set.
Events or Delivery Receipts (DLR) generated by carriers can take up to 72 hours to be
received and should not be used to determine if there is a delay in outbound message
delivery. After 72 hours, if AWS End User Messaging has not received a final event from a carrier, the
service will automatically return an UNKNOWN messageStatus as we do not know
what happened to that message.
Prerequisites
You need to have already created a configuration set to associate the event destinations with, see Configuration sets.
