Feature Announcement: Amazon SQS Support for Chat Events
Blog post from Stream
Stream Chat has enhanced its event response capabilities by introducing support for Amazon SQS as an alternative to traditional webhooks, allowing for greater flexibility and reliability in handling chat events. This new feature helps prevent event loss that can occur with unreliable webhook endpoints and enables multiple services to access the event queue. Configuring Stream Chat to work with Amazon SQS involves updating settings with the appropriate SQS URL, key, and secret, alongside ensuring proper permissions are set within the SQS queue. This addition aims to elevate user experience by facilitating seamless automation of various actions triggered by chat events, thereby extending functionality beyond simple messaging. Users are encouraged to consult the documentation for detailed setup instructions and to provide feedback on their experience.
