How to signal system state changes with your AI

Connect your AI to an Amazon EventBridge bus to broadcast events. Once connected, your agent can trigger workflows in other services by sending custom data payloads.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can my AI notify other services about events?

Your AI uses the put_events tool to push custom JSON payloads to an Amazon EventBridge bus. This allows your agent to notify microservices about user signups, file uploads, or any other state change you define. You'll see how the data flows to your downstream services below.

Event outcomes

Where events land

What happens after your AI sends an event.

TRIGGER

Microservice activation

The AI sends a payload that hits your EventBridge bus. This immediately kicks off specific Lambda functions or other services you have listening.

LOG

Audit trail creation

Every event sent by your agent is recorded on the bus. You get a clear history of system changes triggered by your AI interactions.

SYNC

Data consistency

Your AI keeps your distributed systems in sync. When a state change happens in your chat, the corresponding service updates its own state.

REVIEW

Human oversight needed

The AI doesn't decide if an event is valid for your business logic. You must define the event rules and targets in AWS before the AI can trigger them.

The workflow

What your AI does when an event is triggered.

The AI acts as the bridge between your conversation and your cloud infrastructure.

  1. Capture context

    Your agent identifies that a specific action, like a new user registration, requires a system notification.

    put_events

  2. Format payload

    The AI structures the event data into the specific JSON format your EventBridge bus expects.

    put_events

  3. Dispatch event

    The agent pushes the structured event directly to your designated bus.

    put_events

  4. Confirm delivery

    The AI receives a response from the bus to ensure the event was accepted for routing.

  • Send an event to my 'ProductionBus' stating that the user 'user_123' just completed a file upload.

  • Notify the EventBridge bus that a new subscription was created for account 'sub_987'.

  • Trigger a system event on my bus for a 'password_reset_requested' action for user 'admin_01'.

  • Push a custom event to the bus indicating that the 'inventory_sync' task has finished.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI create a new EventBridge bus?

    No. The AI can only send events to buses that already exist in your AWS account.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide which microservice receives the event?

    No. The AI sends the event to the bus. Your existing AWS EventBridge rules determine which downstream services receive that event.

  • 03

    What kind of data can I send?

    You can send any custom JSON payload that fits your event schema.

  • 04

    Can the AI delete events once they are sent?

    No. Once the event is sent to the bus, it is out of the AI's control.

  • 05

    Will the AI automatically retry if the bus is down?

    The AI relies on the tool's response. If the call fails, the AI will report the error to you.
