(@aws-cdk/aws-codepipeline): CodePipeline notifications

❓ General Issue

The Question

Hello, could you please provide an example, if CDK supports that, how to send notification in case CodePipeline succeeds/fails?

I was trying to come up with a solution via @aws-cdk/aws-codepipeline-actions, but only usage of email was in ManualApprovalAction.

I believe it could be solved by creating Lambda function + SNS topic, but it seems unnecessarily complicated and hopefully could come out-of-the-box in the CDK.

Sure. Here’s a simple example.

import { App, Stack } from '@aws-cdk/core';
import codepipeline = require('@aws-cdk/aws-codepipeline');
import event_targets = require('@aws-cdk/aws-events-targets');
import sns = require('@aws-cdk/aws-sns');
import sns_sub = require('@aws-cdk/aws-sns-subscriptions');

// lots of code here...
       const pipeline: codepipeline.IPipeline = ...

        const topic = new sns.Topic(this, 'Topic', {
           topicName: 'codepipeline-events-consuming-topic',
        });
        topic.addSubscription(new sns_sub.EmailSubscription('[e-mail]'));

        pipeline.onStateChange('PipelineStateChanged', {
            target: new event_targets.SnsTopic(topic),
        });
    }
}

Hope this helps!

Thanks, Adam
