Lab note What I wrote down while learning this by building with it. Short by design; the code is in pfeilbr/aws-appflow-salesforce-eventbridge-playground.
AWS AppFlow example of salesforce event -> AppFlow -> EventBridge -> CloudWatch Logs. Followed steps in Building Salesforce integrations with Amazon EventBridge and Amazon AppFlow | Amazon Web Services post.
Notes
- observed low latency - AppFlow flow runs within 2 seconds of event being generated in salesforce.
- only fields specified in mapping are passed to EventBridge as properties of
detail. - Private Amazon AppFlow flows is available for salesforce that uses AWS PrivateLink to route data over AWS infrastructure without exposing it to the public internet
