ColdFusion and Amazon SNS

Last update:
May 18, 2026

Overview

Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) is a cloud-based service for managing push messages from applications to subscribing endpoints and clients. Amazon SNS allows users to push messages to various services and app via APIs or the AWS Management Console. Once a message is published to a service, the message can be sent multiple times to different recipients.
To get started with Amazon SNS, you first create a topic, which is an access point for subscribers to receive notifications. You publish a message to a topic when you have an update for subscribers. This ensures that Amazon SNS distributes the message to all subscribers.
For more information, see Amazon SNS.

Get started

Install awssns package

Adobe ColdFusion (2021 release) is modularized, if you are only using the ZIP installer. By default, the module for AWS SNS is not installed. The first step is to install the SNS package in ColdFusion.
Note: If you are using the GUI installer, the packages are pre-installed.
The package for SNS is called awssns.
To install the package awssns, use the Package Manager page in the ColdFusion Administrator, or follow the steps below:
  1. Navigate to <CF_HOME>/cfusion/bin.
     
  2. Enter the command:
    • Windows: cfpm.bat
    • Linux: cfpm.sh
  3. Enter the command, install awssns.
    Wait for the AWS SNS package to get installed.
For more information, see ColdFusion Package Manager.

Get credentials to access AWS SNS

When you interact with AWS, you specify your AWS security credentials to verify your credentials and check whether you have permission to access the resources that you are requesting.
AWS uses the security credentials to authenticate and authorize your requests.
You must get the AWS Access Key ID and the AWS Secret Access Key. For more information, see Access Keys.

Add cloud service credentials and configuration

In ColdFusion (2021 release), there is a method getCloudService() that gives you a handle to create objects for accessing various cloud services.
The syntax of the service handle is as follows:
service=getCloudService(cloudCred,cloudConfig), where:
  • cloudCred: Defines the credentials for the cloud service. It could either be a struct or a string (also known as credential alias).
  • cloudConfig: Defines the cloud service configuration details. It could either be a struct or a string (also known as config alias).
After you've acquired the AWS credentials, you must declare these credentials in one of the following ways. Only then you can use these credentials to create a SNS object, after which you can use the object to make calls to the various SNS methods.

ColdFusion Administrator

Set credentials

In the ColdFusion Administrator, click Data & Services > Cloud Credentials. 
An alias is a named representation of a cloud service and its configuration details. You can set the config alias through ColdFusion Administrator.
Figure: Add cloud credentials
Add cloud credentials
After entering the details, click Add Credential.
 

Set configuration options

In the ColdFusion Administrator, click Data & Services > Cloud Configuration. 
Enter the following details, like configuration Alias, Vendor, and the name of the service.
Figure: Add cloud configuration options
Add cloud configuration
After adding the configuration options, you may need to add a few more options. You can do so in the next screen. The following are a few options that you may need to add:
  • Request config
  • Client config
  • Proxy settings
  • Retry policy
  • Retry conditions
For more information, see Cloud configuration options.

Create the object

Once you've created the aliases for SNS credential and configuration options, you can create the object by using the cloudService API, and include the following in your CFM. 
snsObject= getCloudService("snsCred", "snsConf")

Application.cfc

You can specify the SNS credentials and configuration options in Application.cfc. For example,
component 
{  
    this.name="AWS_STD_Queue"; 
    void function onApplicationStart(){ 
        application.awsCred  = { 
                                "alias" : "aws_std_queue", 
                                "vendorName" : "AWS", 
                                "region" : "us-east-1", 
                                "secretAccessKey" : "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", 
                                "accessKeyId" : "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" 
                             } 
             
        application.snsConf  = { 
                                "serviceName" : "SNS" 
                             } 
 
        application.sqsConf ={ 
                                 "serviceName" : "SQS" 
                             }         
 
    } 
}

Create the object

snsObject = getCloudService(application.awsCred, application.snsConf)

On CFM page

On a CFM page, you can specify the SNS credentials and configuration options in one of the four methods, specified below:

Credential alias and configuration alias

After you've created the aliases for SNS credential and configuration options, you can use these aliases in the getCloudService handle as shown below:
<cfscript> 
  // define the credential and the configuration aliases in the ColdFusion Admin 
  sns=cloudService("awsCred","snsConf") 
  // code below. 
  ........... 
</cfscript>

Credential Alias and Struct for configuration options

<cfscript> 
    // Using credential alias and struct for service config 
    snsConf = { 
            "alias":"snsConf", 
            "serviceName" : "SNS", 
            "clientOverrideConfig":{ 
                "retryPolicy":{ 
                  "numRetries":4 
                } 
            }, 
            "httpClientConfig":{ 
                "maxConnections":50 
            } 
  
    } 
    sns= cloudService("snsCred", snsConf) 
  
    // code below 
    ..................... 
</cfscript>

Configuration alias and struct for credentials

<cfscript> 
    // Using config alias and struct for service credentials 
    // sns credentials 
    snsCreds={ 
      "vendorName":"AWS", 
      "alias": "snsCred", 
      "region":"us-east-2", 
      "accessKeyId": "access key", 
      "secretAccessKey": "secret access" 
    } 
    sns= cloudService(snsCreds, "snsConf") 
    // code below 
    ..................................... 
</cfscript>

Structs for both credential and configuration options

<cfscript> 
  // Using Structs for both cloud credential and config 
  snsCred={ 
    "vendorName":"AWS", 
    "alias": "sns_cred_alias", 
    "region":"us-east-2", 
    "accessKeyId": "access key", 
    "secretAccessKey": "secret access key" 
  } 
  
  snsConf = { 
          "alias":"sns_conf_alias", 
          "serviceName" : "SNS", 
          "clientOverrideConfig":{ 
              "retryPolicy":{ 
                "numRetries":4 
              } 
          }, 
          "httpClientConfig":{ 
              "maxConnections":50 
          } 
  
  } 
  sns = cloudService(snsCred, snsConf ) 
  
  // code below 
  ................................................................... 
</cfscript>

Admin API

You can also add SNS credentials and configuration options by using the Admin APIs. The methods to add credentials and configuration are available in cloud.cfc.
The examples below demonstrate the usage of the methods addCredential(struct credential) and addServiceConfig(struct config).

Add credentials

<cfscript> 
  // Create an object of administrator component and call the login method 
  adminObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator") 
  adminObj.login("admin") 
  
  // Create an object of cloud component 
  cloudObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.cloud") 
  
  // define credentials struct 
  credentialStruct={ 
    "alias" : "CredSNS", 
    "vendorName" : "AWS", 
    "region" : "us-east-2", 
    "secretAccessKey" : "secret access key", 
    "accessKeyId" : "access key" 
  } 
  
  // add credential credentialStruct 
  try{ 
    cloudObj.addCredential(credentialStruct) 
    writeOutput("Credentials added successfully") 
  } 
  catch(any e){ 
      writeDump(e) 
  } 
</cfscript>

Add configuration

<cfscript> 
  // Create an object of administrator component and call the login method 
  adminObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator") 
  adminObj.login("admin") 
  
  // Create an object of cloud component 
  cloudObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.cloud") 
  
  // define configuration struct 
  configStruct={ 
      "alias":"ConfSNS", 
      "serviceName":"SNS", 
      "clientOverrideConfig":{ 
          "retryPolicy":{ 
              "numRetries":4 
          } 
      }, 
      "httpClientConfig":{ 
          "maxConnections":50 
      } 
  } 
  
  // add config configStruct 
  try{ 
    cloudObj.addServiceConfig(configStruct) 
    writeOutput("Configuration service added successfully") 
  } 
  catch(any e){ 
    writeDump(e) 
  } 
</cfscript>

Create a topic

In SNS, a topic is a logical access point that helps in communication. In a topic, you can combine multiple endpoints, like, Amazon SQS, HTTPS, or email address. To broadcast messages of a producer to various consumers, you typically create a topic for the producer.
For more information, see Create a topic.

Syntax

createTopic(topicName, topicAttributes)

Parameters

Parameter
Description
Type
Required
topicName
The name of the topic to be created.
String
Yes
topicAttributes
Key-value pairs of the following:
  • DeliveryPolicy: Defines how SNS retries failed deliveries to HTTP/S endpoints.
  • DisplayName: The display name for the topic.
  • Policy: Access policy for your topic. 
The following attribute applies only to server-side-encryption:
 
  • KmsMasterKeyId: The ID of an AWS-managed customer master key (CMK) for Amazon SNS or a custom CMK. For more information, see Key Terms. 
Struct
No
For more information, see request parameters.

Example

<cfscript> 
  sns = getCloudService(application.awsCred, application.snsConf) 
  // define topic attributes 
 createTopicMetadata = {    
   "tags" = [ 
        {"key" = "key1","value" = "value1"}, 
        {"key" = "key2","value" = "value2"} 
      ], 
   "attributes" = { 
     "DisplayName" = "This is a sample display name." 
   } 
 }  
  try{ 
    topicResponse = sns.createTopic("NewTopic",createTopicMetadata) 
    writeOutput("Successfully created an SNS topic") 
    writeDump(topicResponse) 
  } 
  catch(any e){ 
    writeDump(e) 
  } 
</cfscript>

Create a topic with Server-Side Encryption

Server-side encryption (SSE) lets you transmit sensitive data in encrypted topics. SSE protects the contents of messages in Amazon SNS topics using keys managed in AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).
SSE encrypts messages as soon as Amazon SNS receives them. The messages are stored in encrypted form and Amazon SNS decrypts messages only when they are sent. For more information, see Protect SNS data with SSE.
 
When you create a topic in SNS, there is one attribute, KmsMasterKeyId, that you must specify in the topic creation metadata. For more information, see Key Terms. For more examples, see KeyId in the AWS Key Management Service API Reference.
 

Example

<cfscript> 
    sns = getCloudService(application.awsCred, application.snsConf);  
 // create the topic 
    myTopic = sns.createTopic("TopicSSE") 
    // set SSE metadata 
 setTopicAttribsMetadata = { 
  "attributeName" = "KmsMasterKeyId", 
  "attributeValue" = "arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:xxxxxxxx:key/xxxxxxxxxxx" 
    } 
    // set the SSE attributes to the topic 
    setTopicAttribsResponse=myTopic.setAttributes(setTopicAttribsMetadata) 
    writeDump(setTopicAttribsResponse) 
</cfscript>

Get the ARN of a topic

After creating a topic, you can retrieve its Amazon Resource Names (ARN), which will uniquely identify the topic.
For more information, see ARNs.

Syntax

getTopicArn()

Example

<cfscript> 
    sns = getCloudService(application.awsCred, application.snsConf);  
 // create the topic 
    myTopic = sns.createTopic("TopicARN") 
    myArn=myTopic.getTopicArn() 
    writeOutput("The ARN of the topic is: " & myArn) 
</cfscript>

Subscribe to a topic

When you subscribe an endpoint to a topic and confirm the subscription, the endpoint begins to receive messages published to the associated topic. To receive messages published to a topic, you must subscribe an endpoint (such as AWS Lambda, Amazon SQS, HTTP/S, or an email address) to the topic. When you subscribe an endpoint to a topic and confirm the subscription, the endpoint begins to receive messages published to the associated topic.
For more information, see Subscribe an endpoint to an SNS topic.
