Sending SMS using Amazon SNS from a AWS lambda function

Question

Using Amazon SNS you can send notifications and SMS globally.

My scenario: I want to send SMS from a Lambda function where we provide as input, mobile number, and text message. Then use SNS to deliver that message. But didn't find a helpful documentation or example code for NodeJS or java.

Can any one suggest a solution?

First, you need to write a Lambda function which is invoked via HTTP request so you'll also need to setup API Gateway to route connections to your Lambda function.

After that, enable the Lambda function to push that data to "SNS Topic" meanwhile SMS Subscription will "poll" for any new data in this "Topic". This way soon as any data gets into this topic, it will be consumed by subscription and SMS will be sent.
