Hi All.We want to understand if we can receive message from AWS SQS and start a process model in Appian. Can we use receive message event configured to receive to message from external to process type to achieve this and if yes, can anyone please tell how to test that?

Integrating Using JMS
I would also identify one key point in here which is volume of JMS requests and what they will do. If they are starting a process, throughput will need to be designed very carefully, so have Process Autoscaling in mind with this.
Thank you for your reply Dai Williams We are using cloud environment. So its not feasible.
I used AWS SQS in a recent project and we integrated via API's on the AWS side.
AWS SQS has REST APIs you can use

Hi Mathieu Drouin Our use case is like whenever we receive a message, we have to start a process and other things will kick off which is something like a poller. I am not exactly sure how APIs will help us here since Appian has to be the one listening for messages all the time. Maybe our use case cannot be achieved using the APIs which you have mentioned.
Yes, in this scenario, you will need to setup a process to poll the API from Appian.
