Recently, i have tried to create a rule in the EventBridge console that sends events to SNS topic when Amazon S3 Object Created events are received. You can also send email notifications when Amazon S3 objects are created using Amazon EventBridge and Amazon SNS.

Create S3 Bucket

Let’s create the S3 bucket.
- Go to the Amazon S3 Console. Enter the Bucket Name. In this example "s3-eventbridge-notification".
- Keep the other setting as default and Create the Bucket.
Go the Properties section of the bucket which has been created.
Navigate to the Event Notifications section and find the Amazon EventBridge subsection. Click on Edit.
In the "Send notifications to Amazon EventBridge for all events in this bucket". Choose ON. To receive Amazon S3 events in EventBridge, it is necessary to enable EventBridge in the Amazon S3 console.

Open the Amazon SNS console.
In the navigation pane, choose Topics.
Click on Create topic. For Type, choose Standard.
Enter Name of the Topic. Finally , click Create Topic.

Create a subscription to get email notifications from Amazon S3 when events are received by the topic.

In the navigation pane, choose Subscriptions and Click on Create Subscription.
For Topic ARN, choose the topic which has been created.
For Protocol, choose Email.
For Endpoint, enter your email address.
Click on Create subscription.

Check the Email receive from AWS notifications. Confirm the subscription by choosing Confirm subscription in the email receive from AWS notifications.
Subscription Confirmed !
Let's check the status of the subscription. If Status of the subscription is Confirmed then you have successfully subscribed.
