Publish file events from Couchdrop to Amazon SQS

Couchdrop connects to Amazon SQS as a platform integration for event-driven file workflows. Instead of treating SQS like a storage folder, Couchdrop uses it as a queue destination inside Actions and Automations.

When a file or payload is received by Couchdrop, an automation can publish a message to your selected SQS queue. This lets downstream AWS services, workers, and applications react to file activity without polling Couchdrop or building custom middleware.

The integration is useful when file transfers need to kick off asynchronous processing, notify internal systems, or hand off metadata and payload information into an existing AWS architecture. Couchdrop handles the secure intake layer across sources such as SFTP, FTP, cloud storage, APIs, and inbound webhooks, then SQS handles the decoupled processing queue.

• Publish Couchdrop file events and payloads into Amazon SQS queues
• Use SQS inside Couchdrop Actions and Automations
• Bridge secure file intake with event-driven AWS architectures
• Trigger downstream workers, services, or serverless processing from file activity
• Send messages from files received through SFTP, FTP, cloud storage, APIs, or inbound webhooks
• Support asynchronous processing without custom queue-publishing code
• Authenticate using AWS IAM credentials with access to the target SQS queue

1. Create or identify the Amazon SQS queue Couchdrop should publish messages to, and note the queue name.
2. Prepare an AWS IAM key and IAM secret with permission to access SQS and the target queue.
3. Confirm the AWS region where the queue is hosted.
4. In Couchdrop, add a new system integration.
5. Select SQS from the available platform integrations.
6. Enter the queue name, AWS region, IAM key, and IAM secret.
7. Click Add System Integration.
8. Create an Action or Automation that uses the SQS integration to publish messages when the relevant file workflow runs.
