You need an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account to utilize Amazon Notifications. Amazon Selling Partner API requires the use of AWS. Specifically, Amazon requires that stream notifications be sent to an AWS SQS (Simple Queue Service) endpoint. This endpoint is where Openbridge will process your campaign data sets and load them to your configured data destination.
While using AWS may seem daunting, don't worry! We have simplified and automated the entire process. These steps can be completed in about 5 minutes.
To set up the Amazon Notifications, follow these detailed directions:
Create an AWS Account:
If you do not have an AWS account, go to https://aws.amazon.com/ and create one. If you have an account, log in.

Download the Openbridge Amazon Notifications API CloudFormation template. This template will automate the configuration of your AWS account for Amazon Notifications API and complete your setup with CloudFormation as required.
