AWS

Pull user info to connect across tools.

You must have permissions to manage IAM users in AWS in order to generate an access key and connect to Stitchflow.

Overview

Use the AWS integration to identify problems with your users before they occur. Integrating with AWS enables you to build boards that correlate fields within AWS and with other connected tools.

Create access keys for IAM users

1. Log in to your AWS account with sufficient permissions to manage IAM users.

2. Go to the IAM Dashboard.

3. In the navigation pane, click Users.

4. Select or Create an IAM User

   1. If the user exists, click on their username.

   2. If the user doesn’t exist:

      1. Click Add users.

      2. Enter a username and select Programmatic access under the access type.

      3. Click Next.

5. Set Permissions for the User (if adding a new user)

   1. Choose one of the following options to grant permissions:

      1. Attach existing policies directly: Select a policy like AdministratorAccess (not recommended) or a specific policy like IAMReadOnlyAccess.

      2. Add the user to a group: Select a group with appropriate permissions.

   2. Complete the setup and create the user.

6. On the user details page, go to the Security credentials tab.

7. Scroll down to the Access keys section and click Create access key.

8. Select the use case for the key (e.g., Command Line Interface (CLI), SDK, or API) and click Next.

9. Review the details and click Create access key.

10. Save the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key by downloading the .csv file or copying them to a secure location.

    1. Note: You cannot retrieve the secret access key again after this point.

Configure

Enable the AWS integration from Connections in the left sidenav. Click Connect and enter your Access key and Secret. Before connecting, AWS will sync for a few minutes while fetching data. Once connected, you can click the ... menu on the AWS integration tile to manage or disconnect the integration.

Data model

We automatically fetch and relate the following objects from AWS.

Supported objects

• Users

We support the following actions in AWS.

Supported actions

• None

Boards

When building a board, you can select any supported AWS resource as your object to indicate the data you want to surface on your board. We automatically determine the primary field for each object. The primary field is meant to be a unique representation of each record in a board.

An object in Stitchflow is a data type that is used to treat several different pieces of data as one unit.

Adding fields

Click Add field to select fields from both within AWS and across your other connected tools. We only show fields that can be joined with your chosen object.

Triggering actions

Click Integration actions in the top right of any board to view all available actions across your connected integrations. When selecting an action, you'll be prompted to fill out all required inputs necessary to run the action. Changes and updates made via actions will persist to all boards.

Stitchflow fetches AWS data every 24 hours.
