Depending on your setup, data should flow between Amazon SNS and Grist (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Amazon SNS and Grist
Amazon SNS + Grist + Slack: When a new message arrives in an Amazon SNS topic, Latenode retrieves data from a Grist table. A formatted message is then sent to a Slack channel, notifying users about the Grist data based on the SNS trigger.
Grist + Amazon SNS + Gmail: When a record is created or updated in Grist, Latenode triggers an Amazon SNS topic. This topic sends data to Latenode, which in turn sends a personalized email campaign to subscribers using Gmail, based on the updated Grist data.
