Put EventBridge/CloudWatch Events - Atlassian Workflow Event

This parameters template demonstrates the Put EventBridge/CloudWatch Events action:

JSON escaping requirements

If a parameter within the JSON formatted parameters template is a JSON structure in itself (e.g. the Lambda function payload), it needs to be escaped before adding it as a value - this has two implications:

custom content needs to be escaped, which can be achieved by Composing action payloads with utility functions, specifically the $util.escapeJson() function
variables with conflicting content (e.g. multi line variables like JIRA's $issue.fields.description or Bamboo's $notification.textEmailContent or JSON structures retrieved via JSONPath) need to be escaped twice, via $util.escapeJson($util.escapeJson(...)) - we are exploring options on how to make this easier in a future release

Event Patterns in CloudWatch Events

This is an opinionated example that works well for ingesting custom events from Atlassian products – refer to Event Patterns in CloudWatch Events for details on these and other available fields.
