STEP 1
Connect AWS Cognito and AWS Lambda
Save credentials in WEXTL once. We store them encrypted and reuse the authorization across every workflow [3]. No coding or API skills required.
AWS Cognito and AWS Lambda Integration
Build developer tools workflows between AWS Cognito and AWS Lambda on a visual canvas — set up data fields sync between apps once and let data flow when events come automatically. Integration will work without code and your team will see the workflow inside WEXTL® builder.

Learn about AWS Cognito and AWS Lambda
Detailed info you need to know about AWS Cognito and AWS Lambda integrations in WEXTL. Explore which modules apps support and how you connect them.
AWS Cognito

AWS Lambda
Serverless compute that runs your code without managing servers. [6]
How to connect AWS Cognito to AWS Lambda
Set up your AWS Cognito and AWS Lambda integration in 3 simple steps [2] — no coding required. Up to 10 minutes setup.
STEP 2
Build a workflow
Paste selected AWS Cognito and AWS Lambda nodes onto the canvas [4], or describe what you want and WEXTL wires the flow together with AI Builder.
STEP 3
Map your data
Choose which fields need to sync between AWS Cognito and AWS Lambda. Use filters or leverage a JS custom code step in between — everything is on the canvas.
How does the integration between AWS Cognito and AWS Lambda work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for AWS Cognito and AWS Lambda that help you connect apps and automate repetitive tasks [1]. A trigger is an event that happens, an action — a step that performs when the event has occurred.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting AWS Cognito and AWS Lambda.
Connect your AWS Cognito and AWS Lambda accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: when AWS Lambda's "Watch Durable Executions" fires, WEXTL can "Add Custom Attributes" in AWS Cognito. AWS Cognito has 133 actions (including Add Custom Attributes, Add User Pool Client Secret, and Admin Add User To Group); AWS Lambda has 87 actions (including Add Function Permission, Add Layer Version Permission, and Add Tags to Resource). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. AWS Cognito-to-AWS Lambda automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment AWS Cognito (or AWS Lambda) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your AWS Cognito + AWS Lambda automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
