How it works

Connect Slack and AWS Lambda in five steps.

No code, no glue, no half-day setup. Each step is one click.

1
Connect
Authorize Slack and AWS Lambda
Open Tiny Command, authorize Slack and AWS Lambda once each. Both connections are available to every workflow on your account.
2
Trigger
Pick a Slack trigger
Drop the Slack → App Home Opened trigger onto the canvas. Tiny Command auto-registers the webhook.
POST /v1/webhooks/slack.trigger-app-home-opened

Add a filter or AI step
Optionally add a Filter node ("subject contains URGENT") or an AI step ("classify intent") between trigger and action.
4
Action
Add the AWS Lambda action
Drop the AWS Lambda → Invoke Lambda Function action below it. Map fields from the Slack payload into the AWS Lambda inputs.
aws-lambda.invoke-function
5
Publish
Publish and forget
Hit Publish. Tiny Command runs it in production from second one. Watch the run-log fill up.

FAQ

Questions about Slack + AWS Lambda.

How long does it take to connect Slack and AWS Lambda on Tiny Command?

Under two minutes. Authorize Slack and AWS Lambda once each, drop the Slack trigger and AWS Lambda action onto a workflow canvas, map a couple of fields, and publish. No code, no glue.

Is the Slack ↔ AWS Lambda integration real-time?

Yes. Both Slack and AWS Lambda expose webhooks, so events from one fire workflows in the other within seconds rather than on a polling interval.

Can I filter or transform data between Slack and AWS Lambda?

Yes. Add a Filter node to only pass through matching events, a Switch node to branch by value, or an AI / Code node to transform payloads before they hit AWS Lambda.

What Slack events can trigger a AWS Lambda workflow?

Any of the 13 Slack triggers, including "App Home Opened". Each fires in real time when the matching event happens in Slack.

Do I need a paid plan to use Slack with AWS Lambda?

No. There's a free tier that covers most Slack+AWS Lambda use cases without a credit card. Paid plans unlock higher run volumes and team features when you outgrow it.

What if I want AWS Lambda → Slack instead?

Build it the same way, in reverse. There's a dedicated /integrations/aws-lambda/with/slack page with the reverse-direction triggers and actions.
