Send query results to Amazon Pinpoint

You can send phone numbers and SMS message strings from Amperity to Amazon Pinpoint. First build a query that outputs phone numbers and a message. Then use an orchestration to send that data from Amperity to Amazon Pinpoint.

Note

A Lambda function running in AWS Lambda validates phone numbers, and then only sends validated phone numbers to Amazon Pinpoint.

Send phone numbers and SMS message strings from Amperity to Amazon Pinpoint.

This topic describes the steps that are required to send phone numbers and SMS message strings to Amazon Pinpoint from Amperity.

  1. Build a query

  2. Add orchestration

  3. Run orchestration

Note

Amazon Pinpoint must be enabled as a webhook destination before you can configure an orchestration to send query results.

Build query

Build a query that returns phone numbers and SMS message strings. For example:

1SELECT
2  phone as "phone_number"
3  ,CONCAT('Hello ', given_name, '! Please enjoy 25% more content on your next visit to https://docs.amperity.com') AS "message"
4FROM Merged_Customers

Note

A Lambda function running in AWS Lambda will phone numbers before sending data to Amazon Pinpoint.

Add orchestration

An orchestration defines the relationship between query results and a destination, including the destination and the frequency at which an orchestration runs.

To add an orchestration

  1. Open the Activations page, select the Orchestrations tab, and then click the Add orchestration button. This opens the Add orchestration dialog box.

  2. From the Object type dropdown, select Query.

  3. From the Object dropdown, select the query for which results will be sent to Amazon Pinpoint.

  4. From the Destination dropdown, select a destination that is configured for sending data to Amazon Pinpoint.

  5. Verify all settings.

  6. Set the workflow to Manual. (You can change this to automatic later, after verifying the end-to-end workflow.)

  7. Click Save.

Run orchestration

Run the orchestration manually to validate that it works.

To run the orchestration

  1. Open the Activations page, select the Orchestrations tab, and then open the    menu for the Amazon Pinpoint orchestration. Select Run.

  2. The Status column for the orchestration will update to say “Waiting to start…”, after which the notifications pane will update to include a notification that shows the current status.

  3. When the orchestration has run successfully, the status is updated to “Completed”.
