<a name="configuration-sets-sns-add"></a>

Before you can create an Amazon SNS event destination, you must first create an Amazon SNS topic. For more information about creating Amazon SNS topics, see [Creating a topic](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sns/latest/dg/sns-create-topic.html) in the *Amazon Simple Notification Service Developer Guide*.

You must also have already setup a configuration set to associate the event destinations with, see [Configuration sets in AWS End User Messaging SMS](configuration-sets.md).

#### [ Create an Amazon SNS event destination (AWS CLI) ]

You can use the [create-event-destination](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/pinpoint-sms-voice-v2/create-event-destination.html) command to create an event destination.

```
$ aws pinpoint-sms-voice-v2 create-event-destination \
> --event-destination-name {{eventDestinationName}} \
> --configuration-set-name {{configurationSet}} \
> --matching-event-types {{eventTypes}} \
> --sns-destination TopicArn=arn:aws:sns:{{us-east-1}}:{{111122223333}}:{{snsTopic}}
```

In the preceding command, make the following changes:
+ Replace {{eventDestinationName}} with a descriptive name for the event destination.
