About the Amazon CloudWatch integration

Your infrastructure runs 24/7, but you and your team sleep. Alarms in CloudWatch notify you when something fails, but notifications can arrive through email or in a dashboard check you might miss. When a critical system goes down at 2am, those extra minutes waiting for someone to see an email or notification can cost you money and reputation.

Connecting Amazon CloudWatch to Mobile Message through Zapier ensures your team sees urgent alerts immediately. When an alarm state changes, such as a critical system going down or a threshold being breached, you can send an instant SMS to the on-call team member or the entire ops crew. These SMS notifications bypass inbox clutter and reach your team's pocket. Your team can acknowledge the alert or wake up knowing exactly what failed and what needs attention.

A Zapier account and subscription is required for this integration. Please view Zapier's pricing page for further information.

What you can automate

Amazon CloudWatch + SMS: common questions

Can I send different messages depending on which alarm triggered?

Yes. Zapier lets you customise the SMS message based on the alarm name, threshold or severity in CloudWatch. You can include the alarm details so your team knows what failed without opening the console.

What if the alarm resolves automatically?

You can set up a separate Zap that triggers when an alarm returns to OK state. This lets you send an all-clear SMS to your team so they know the issue resolved and they can go back to sleep.

How do I get SMS alerts from CloudWatch to my team?

You need accounts with CloudWatch and Mobile Message. Link them through Zapier on this page without any code. Once set up, alarms trigger SMS alerts to your team immediately.
