Is it possible to invoke AWS Lambda Function through Automation?

[Tony Chan]

I have a Lambda function used to generate authentication token, and planning to integrate it into our Jira automation rule. However, I can only see a option of "Run a AWS SSM Document".

Is there any way I can authenticate to Lambda function using the same IAM role authentication?

Hello @Tony Chan 

Welcome to the community.

I have not actually tried this, but hopefully some of the information I found will be useful to you.

It doesn't appear that you can directly invoke an AWS Lambda function from Jira Automation, but you can run an AWS SSM Document, and that can invoke the Lambda function according to this:

I also found this documentation from Atlassian on using Jira Automation with AWS:

Seems i can trigger Lambda function through AWS SSM. But is it possible to create a smart value variable from the output of the SSM document? I need the output to pass to next step for authentication.

I cannot find any information about retrieving outputs from AWS actions. Is it supported?

[Trudy Claspill]

I don't know.

As I said, I have not tried any of this. I was just searching the internet for relevant documentation.

I see, thank you.

Have you heard of retrieving outputs from other third party integration? I saw Jira supports like Azure, GitHub, GitLab..etc. I wanna take reference from them if there's any example to create smart value variable from it.
